The L.A. Public Library commissioned me and a writing team to adapt Octavia E. Butler's the Parable of the Sower into a Fate RPG. We're running portions of it at the Octavia Lab at the LAPL Central Branch in DTLA on 12/14! If you're a fan of the novel or Fate, sign up and roll dice with us!

Journey to Earthseed: A Tabletop Roleplay Campaign in Octavia E. Butler's Parable Universe

Young Angeleno game masters will lead an interactive role-playing adventure game around the quote, "The destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars," from the Parable of the Sower series with the intent "to co-create our understanding of the hope, creativity, and resilience that shaped Octavia's first book." This role-playing game will also tie Butler's work to the climate change we face today. The Octavia Lab is a do-it-yourself maker space located inside the Los Angeles Public Library's historic Central Library.

I love public libraries! 🤍 Especially this one.

Highly recommend the #Kanopy app if your library system is connected to it. Thousands of movies of every conceivable genre to choose from. You can access up to 10 movies per month.

And while we're at it -- I'm adding a shoutout to the #LosAngelesPublicLibrary, which I use all the time. And to the #BrooklynPublicLibrary for giving nationwide access to books being censored elsewhere.
