Welcome stranger, and thank you for the curiosity that led you here, to the page with explanations of our visions, ideas, and reasons. So, what can we tell you on a single page about ourselves and our small, Balkanian-based, publishing collective? So much, and yet so little at the same time.
The story
We were a group of fellow gamers coming from different places and origins once. We narrated stories, made characters that lived their lives in imaginary worlds, and had humble fun with our friends. But after a while, telling stories for small groups of people started to not be very satisfying. That’s why we shifted to design, write, draw, and capture our ephemeral imaginations into something more complex and polished – into our own game products.
It was some time ago and thereafter, we faced many experiences that melted, forged, and honed our collective’s vision and the philosophy of making our products. Now we are more than a collective of creators or friends; now we are trying to be a focused beacon of humanism and social consciousness, according to our acts of creativity. Though, we’re still making these things for fun rather than pure profit.
The practice
We aim to produce more than distraction pamphlets and toys. We seek to weave thought-provoking narratives that can even stray from traditional role-playing motifs. The products, that explore realms where mechanical simplicity meets cognitive complexity on many levels. Our themes can lead you deep into the flesh of social struggle, xenophobia, injustice, ethical and morality questioning, politics, matured sexuality in spectrum, the meaning of life, psyops, conspiracies, and (trans)humanism. You can end this journey with a few new ideas, cognitive dissonances, and long-lasting aftertastes. It can be a not-so-escapist and transformative experience as in some more mass-marketed games.
And, of course, it’s all about our specifics and beliefs. Because we’re a mosaic of voices of very different people of different generations and ethnicities, bonded with common tone – rebels, gender- and neuro-queers, vagabonds, immigrants, feminists, dissidents, outcasts, rejects, exiles, heathens, darklings, passionate seekers for quaint fantasies, humans after all.
We’re not only writing about complex social processes, not only describing the struggles and injustices, the life-breaking points and thought choices, occasionally, now we’re living in them. And our creations inherit this shared experience as well. And now we produce them, probably as a compulsion, as confession. Just and only because we can’t deny our subconscious impulse to start, at last, no laughing and mature conversation about all these terrible questions, harsh topics, dark thoughts, and overwhelming impressions of our everyday lives.
The conclusion
Like many other folks, we’re not truly unique (and that’s why we can understand each other), but sporadically, our creations have a glimpse of an original temper.
If the standing points above strike a chord with you, then we can have a similar part of the experience, scars, and bounds. And occasionally, our experiments can be very satisfying to your tempted mind.
And we extend our invitation to you to join our journey of cultural exploration and creative discoveries. Please don't hesitate to follow us on Facebook and Twitter, join our Discord, and dive into our creations on Itch.io and DTRPG.
