​LANAPO ✶ stories, systems & play

​What becomes possible when we start experimenting with the form of storytelling itself?

​LANAPO is a monthly gathering at the MADE dedicated to exploring the possibility space of narrative design in games.

​Together, we'll play and examine some of the most experimental examples of the form, take apart the ideas and systems that make them work, and imagine how we might push them further.

​Part experimental design lab, part creative playground. A place to discover strange possibilities, invent new constraints, and think together about what stories could become.

​Co-hosted by Rachel Heleva and Ryan Wright, with occasional guest co-hosts bringing their own experiments and perspectives.

​Open to game designers, writers, artists, and anyone curious about the possibilities of narrative and play. No preparation or expertise required.

​For stories that haven't been invented yet.
