Dismantling Carceral Logics – an RPG

A role playing game about examining and dismantling policing and carceral mentalities in communities


Here Be Dragons – this is still an early draft. Let me know if you play test it. Tell me what you think: what worked, what didn’t work.

This is a role playing game built for a small group of up to five players. It is meant to be played either face to face or online with an interface for communication (zoom, Google Hangout – whichever you use)

In this game, you are not here to solve a problem. You are here to practice a different way of responding to harm.

A way that does not rely on:

  • punishment
  • removal
  • control

But instead builds:

  • relationship
  • responsibility
  • accountability

Guiding principles for this game:

  • No one is disposable
  • Harm is real and must be addressed
  • Accountability happens in relationship
  • Community holds responsibility
