"A propulsive, innovative look at the powerful grip of the past and the courage it takes to finally make a break for the future." -- Rebecca Nguyen, author of The 23rd Hero

WELCOME TO PLAY ROLE PLAY

A grieving young woman returns home to Seattle, where her dead mother's final wish forces her and her estranged father on a journey through their past, one that somehow pulls them deep into the role‑playing campaigns she once loved, blurring the line between memory, imagination, and something that feels dangerously like reality.

Hattie fled Seattle after her mother’s death and has spent two years isolating herself in Texas. When she finally comes home, she finds a father who has been barely functioning without her mother and a final letter that sends them on three linked quests to revisit key places from their family history and “recover three memories and find what was lost.” As Hattie and her friends move through those locations, her long‑dormant love of tabletop role‑playing begins to manifest as full campaigns that appear to overtake reality, forcing her to face her grief, guilt, and complicated ties to her father.

The novel addresses grief and depression directly and includes an author note pointing readers toward mental health resources, while still maintaining a sharp, funny, pop‑cultural voice.

Advanced Praise for Play Role Play

"In Play Role Play, In Churl Yo's poetry of the Pacific Northwest is reminiscent of Bradbury's lyrical Los Angeles noir mysteries. The lines between Hattie's reality and fiction blur beautifully as her adventure unfolds, leaving us to ponder what roles others play in the story of our lives, and what role we inevitably play in theirs." -- Alethea Kontis, author of The Dark-Hunter Companion

"What if your imagination wasn't a way to escape the past, but the only way you could bear to face it? In this surprising, surrealist adventure about a young woman struggling after her mother's death, In Churl Yo gamifies grief. A beloved tabletop role-playing game, a letter from beyond the grave, and a cryptic, psychedelic scavenger hunt all send Hattie hurtling into her past to confront the people and the pain she's spent years avoiding. Everyone should get to battle their demons this way (in literal battles, against literal demons!) Play Role Play is a propulsive, innovative look at the powerful grip of the past and the courage it takes to finally make a break for the future." -- Rebecca Nguyen, author of The 23rd Hero

"With equal parts heart and imagination, Play Role Play transforms a tabletop quest into a moving exploration of grief, family, friendship, and healing. It's a reminder that sometimes the greatest adventures aren't about defeating dragons—they're about finding your way back to the people who matter most." -- P. J. Hoover, author of the Pick Your Own Quest® series

"A gold-hearted adventure into role-playing, difficult relationships, and real-world grief. In Churl Yo's light touch and depth of nerdy knowledge transforms perilous journeys into pleasure jaunts." -- Katharine Coldiron, author of Junk Film: Why Bad Movies Matter

About the Author

In Churl Yo has served as an editorial director and an award-winning creative consultant to several magazines during his career. Amazing Stories called his debut novel Isonation "a fast-paced post-pandemic story where nothing turns out to be quite what it seems." His follow-up novel, Austinites, offers readers a literary nostalgia-infused trip through 1990's Austin, and Something Doesn't Make It True, a poetry collection, is out now, soon to be followed by Play Role Play. Born and raised in Texas, he made the move to cooler and greener climes out West with his wife and two children.
