Abstract

Frame 352 is a solo photo journaling RPG where players craft a folk story about a cryptid using photographic evidence. Play involves physical activity like walking, taking photos, and note-taking, guided by a coin pull divination system. The game, formatted as a printable 1-page zine, can be carried in a pocket. Presented for DiGRA, the game was available in kits including zines, writing tools, an online play guide, and the correct denomination of pocket change. Play records, for those who were interested, were collected and displayed online.
