Notoriously Frivolous
Notoriously Frivolous is a game in conversation with David Graeber's essay, "What's the Point if We Can't Have Fun?" It employs concrete modes of play to engage with Graeber's conception of a principle of "ludic freedom. " In the spirit of the Intergalactic Memorial Carnival, for which this was written, Notoriously Frivolous is in A5 zine format and is meant to be printed and shared. As with all my zines, it should easily print on letter-sized paper if you select the "booklet" option in your printer settings.
