She’s a UK-based science teacher, artist, and game designer. She co-founded Shrike Studio in 2015 and released games such as <em>Blight Seas Fleet</em>, a dark fantasy naval skirmish game, for which she developed a whole range of 3D printable miniatures. This year, she released a demo of <em>You Will Die In This Place</em>, an RPG described as "a nihilistic dungeoncrawler about art, death and identity". It’s weird, meta, layered, and also very asymmetrical like a boardgame. We talk about its design and themes (everything is a labyrinth! relationships, games, mental illness!) and its crowdfunding campaign via GameFound's RPG Party later this year. </p><p><br></p><p>Crowdfunding link: <a href="http://gamefound.com/en/projects/shrike-studio/you-will-die-in-this-place"><u>gamefound.com/en/projects/shrike-studio/you-will-die-in-this-place</u></a> </p><p>Itch.io link: <a href="https://liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/"><u>https://liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/</u></a> </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p><p><em>The Denial of Death</em> by Ernst Becker</p><p>Myth of Sisyphus</p><p><em>Labyrinths </em>by Jose Luis Borges</p><p><a href="https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Deimos/853014/8732609/view"><em>Deimos</em></a> by Dragan Bibin (painting)</p><p><a href="https://www.collectorsagenda.com/in-the-studio/toni-r-toivonen"><u>Toni R.
