Sasha Scudder
As a passionate and devoted nerd, I am always coming up with new ideas to put into games, stories, artwork, or other media. When I'm not playing or making games, I love designing characters, learning lore, and experimenting with the limits of what I can create. I'm a big believer in the healing power of games–my undergraduate thesis was an analysis of the positive effects of roleplaying games on mental health, and my graduate thesis uses peer-counseling models to encourage active listening and emotional literacy. I'm dual-wielding my love for video games and my advocacy for mental health, and with those two swords, I aspire to create meaningful games that help players feel seen and heard, no matter who they are.

Reflections of Fate
Sole Designer
It is early Autumn in the beautiful and prosperous port city of Verchiel, and joyous music fills the colorful streets as, finally, the long-awaited coronation of beloved Prince Malakai approaches. The Kingdom has planned all year for the traditional 7-day festival of food, drink, sport and revelry that leads up to the day of the coronation, and travelers from across the country have come to celebrate. Not all is light and laughter, however, as an ancient power awakes, and new and dangerous magic threatens the city. When the prince mysteriously vanishes, it’s up to a group of unsuspecting adventurers discreetly plucked from the festivities to work together to find him in this unique, home-brewed quest for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.
