Read Will Hindmarch's "Hush" at Gameplaywright.com.
“PAX East obliterated Jared Sorensen’s voice but he still had an event left to run. Players were counting on him. The convention schedule had the game session locked in. Sorensen, his voice already spent on conversations and events in the noisy convention venues, seemed fucked. But Jared Sorensen didn’t quit.”

Geeknights 20111115 - Jared Sorensen Tonight on GeekNights, straight out of Burning Apocalypse Con, we have Jared Sorensen in the studio to talk about, among other things, Z-Ward, Danish roleplaying, Lacuna 2, conventions, Action Castle, and movies. GeekNights is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.
Jared Sorensen's "Action Castle" is a modern take on old computer adventure games like Zork. Distributed turns, many players controlling one character, multiple endings: one would be hard pressed to say that this is not, in some sense, a "role playing game." It is an idiogame in a classic sense.
In a post-scarcity transhuman future Utopia, there is only one question worth asking. What do you do today? Freemarket is a role playing game that explores this question and the kind of world that would ask it in the first place.
Inspectres is an indie RPG by Jared Sorensen. Its mechanics focus on who controls the narrative at different points (depending on player success or failure), in order to essentially make Ghostbusters (the movie) happen in tabletop RPG form. http://memento-mori.com/project/inspectres/ Rym and Scott of GeekNights presented "Beyond Dungeons & Dragons" at PAX Australia 2013.
