Thought Police Interactive make storytelling games and tabletop RPGs.
The studio is working on a solo play game system called Motif Story Engine which is in beta release and is already an electrum best seller at DriveThruRPG.
Weird fiction RPG NEVER Stop Smiling has been out since July and also a DTRPG bestseller. Meanwhile, Arthur’s Legacy a modern rework of the King Arthur stories, is in diceless playtest and the RPG of animated madness Animatica is in alpha release.
That’s quite a few projects in the pipeline.
A Reddit post throws up a snag. The studio’s lead designer doesn’t want charity, or a GoFundMe, but needs funds due to their residence becoming untenable and their partner has been hospitalised. It’s a devastating combination.
