Dice Forager

Some Jokes and Manifestos

Sam DunnewoldComment

Last week people started getting physical copies of my short zine of games slash design memoir Dice Forager. Idle Cartulary did this nice review of it, and some folks were talking about it on the Dice Exploder discord. But everyone keeps being cagey about the preamble, not wanting to spoil it I guess? But I think it’s funny and I want people to be able to talk about it, so I’m posting it here.

I Made a Book (and So Can You)

Sam DunnewoldComment

This past month I put out Dice Forager, a 50 page zine/book containing four of my games from the past few years along with some new designer commentary. This is how I did it.

I’m confident you can do this too. Maybe this is the push you need to go make yours, and then we can trade.

Hello from the between-season malaise! Today I'm joined by Aaron King, back again, who interviews me about my new zine Dice Forager: a 50 page collection of games, manifestos, and mini written-out episodes of Dice Exploder. We talk about how setting goals is great and people should do it for, what counts as a manifesto, and how making art meant just for your friends can be just as if not more rewarding than for any other reason.
