My Late Father's Correspondence explores bittersweet family drama. Content includes grief, patriarchy, illness, colonialism, war and death.

Show Notes

This week, Fiona is playing '⁠My Late Father's Correspondence⁠': an epistolary roleplaying game of bittersweet family drama by Hayley Gordon and published by Storybrewers Roleplaying.

The player takes on the role of the younger child of the deceased Col. Thomas Lockley, answering letters he can no longer reply to, and learning about the father who played a difficult role in their life.

The game is simple—the player will open, read, and reply to the letters you receive at Eadly Hall. However, family, duty, and grief are not simple at all, and the player will make hard decisions about the future to come.
