Hello Absurdians!

I'm beyond excited to announce the guest writers for our second stretch goal! At $25k, this talented cabal of authors, game designers, and storytellers will put together a harlequin kaleidoscope of ready to play one shot scenarios for Absurdia.

Elliot Davis, aka "moreblueberries", is a Brooklyn-based game designer, podcaster, and artist who loves all things weird and wonderful about the TTRPG industry. He is known for such releases as Project ECCO, Rom Com Drama Bomb, and the upcoming The Time We Have. When he's not losing sleep over a new game idea you can hear him play, host, GM, and more on the podcasts My First Dungeon and Talk of the Table which he produces as part of the Many Sided Media team.

Irving Benitez (he/him) AKA Jellyfishlines, is a queer, trans masculine, multi-disabled, and Mad CRiT Award nominated TTRPG designer, Actual Play Game Master, podcast host and co-host, performer, and poetry writer from the Appalachian region of NE Ohio. You can find his works at jellyfishlines.carrd.co, and you can find him at home under the Camperdown Elm tree covered in words and wishes of others.

Kendrick/Kendo (any/all) is an award-winning digital storyteller known best for her work on the actual play podcast Tales Yet Told, where he facilitates stories at the intersection of queerness and horror using indie TTRPGs. They've been telling stories for as long as they can remember and take immense pride in the opportunities they've had to share their stories with the world. Aside from producing actual plays, Kendo is also a TTRPG performer, a game designer, filmmaker, video editor, and an improv comedian. For their day job, Kendo serves as the Media Production Manager for Kobold Press, where they spend their time discussing the joy of TTRPGs and how players can maximize their gaming experience.

Samantha Leigh (they/she) is a tabletop RPG designer from Virginia. They are they owner of Blinking Birch Games and have published titles such as Anamnesis and Death of the Author. They've been a fan of absurdist humor since listening to Welcome to Night Vale in high school, and have published their own absurdist game, Outliers. Sam has also written for many other RPGs, including Cloud Empress, The Zone, and ECO MOFOS.
