January 28, 2021: Avery Alder
Avery Alder is a queer roleplaying game designer hailing from Sinixt territory. She is the designer and publisher of Monsterhearts, The Quiet Year, Askew, Ribbon Drive, and a host of smaller, scrappier projects. Her work—whether set against the backdrop of a collapsing civilization or in the midst of our everday lives—explores how our identities, relationships, and communities transform one another. In addition to designing games, Avery is a workshop designer, facilitator, and consultant specializing in play-based learning.
Avery Alder’s craft talk and conversation is funded through the MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics. Please contact Ching-In Chen (chingin@uw.edu) for more information. |
