Her creation Knitting Circle will be on KS soon through Flatout Games, and is the second installment in the Calico game universe.

Weyodi OldBear
Weyodi OldBear is a voting citizen of the Comanche Nation who has been writing on a daily basis since she was 7 years old. She is disabled in a “seizures and can’t see much out of one eye” sort of way. She writes from a Numunu (Comanche) perspective because that is her original factory setting. Themes that she’ll be bringing to RinCon include indigenous futurism, world-building with attention to the sociocultural and historical aspects that inform the process, and her experiences as a writer on Coyote & Crow, one of the most successful TTRPG Kickstarters to date.
