consultation & editing are dreamy opportunities to channel my obsession with ttrpg mechanics & game philosophy into conversations with people about their work that help them narrow in on what they’re trying to do & say with the rules of their game.

after i contributed to jess levine’s i have the high ground & going rogue 2e, when reviewers noted her impeccable inclusion of tips & advice to players, she graciously said on twitter

“i want to note that having [satah] as a design consultant on both helps drives this—satah is GREAT at identifying player pain points & challenging me to write notes that help players navigate the game-as-played. i am very proud to have widely applicable tips, examples, and designer’s notes labeled as my “calling card” because i believe they’re vital to player experience & im proud of how i write them, but it’s been so crucial how satah’s critical eye has repeatedly prompted me to do so.”
