Chris Bissette
I'm Chris Bissette (they/them), a musician, writer, and game designer from Manchester, UK. I'm interested in stories and the ways in which we tell them, and in breaking down formal narrative structures and rebuilding them so we can tell stories in ways they've never been told before. My work has been nominated for an Origins Award, and won the inaugural 'The Awards'.
I'm the co-designer of the 2025 edition of Tunnels & Trolls. My work has appeared in Pathfinder 2, Fallout, Hunter: The Reckoning, Dungeon Crawl Classics, and the forthcoming Discworld
I'm best known for The Wretched and my ENnie-nominated blog Loot The Room. Come and say hi in my Discord server or on Patreon. For full details of my freelance work, and to inquire about working with me, head over to my portfolio site.
