Reconciling the Functions of Tragedy and Fantasy

This thesis experiments with concepts of fantasy and tragedy in order to produce knowledge through practice-led research that facilitates an understanding of the links between the genres. It demonstrates that tragedy and fantasy literature are compatible forms that can operate effectively in a self-contained narrative, explicating how eucatastrophe and catharsis perform the same task through the provoking and purging of different emotions. The conclusions of this research support the idea that applying the tragic mode to fantasy can help to critique contemporary socio-political events, as well as to question received versions of history, through the use of tragedies as co-texts to highlight plural subjectivities. To this end, the thesis attempts to craft a creative narrative that combines elements of both tragedy and fantasy within which the theories and ideas discussed can be tested, effectively providing an example of the compatibility of both genres

My Haunted Home: A Collection of Short Stories

“My Haunted Home” is a collection of short stories that explores the way in which hauntings and memory find themselves implanted in the everyday lives of those who live without people in their families. These stories work through grief in the form of haunting and explore how hauntings can be embodied through people and places. These stories work to bend genre tropes of horror and surrealist fiction in hopes to find a merging of haunting and memory. The narrators of these stories are ever changing, although there is overlap in voice throughout some of these stories. Part two of “My Haunted Home” utilizes a longer story format to follow one character throughout a few weeks in their life and follows the love life of this character

The Foreboding Campaign System

This project creates a new campaign setting compatible with the Dungeons and Dragons system utilizing the SRD Open Game License content as a starting point. The campaign setting created establishes mechanics allowing for narrative interaction between the past and present timeline of events in the world of Lunaria. This new system, entitled The Foreboding, utilizes a shift mechanic to alter the player characters in several possible ways, ranging from changes in race or character history to interactions with past time periods and events that alter the present timeline of the narrative. New character options for race and class were also developed to enhance the immersion within the world of Lunaria. The project includes a short adventure to provide a guided experience into the world of Lunaria and the Foreboding system. This project report provides and overview of the current state of game design with regards to board and tabletop games, as well as detailing the methodology used in creating and playtesting the final product of this project
