A Crown of Dandelions
A downloadable game
I have an old picture from Jessie’s birthday. You can’t see her face, but look – that’s her favourite dress. Her hair. That’s her hand, stained yellow with dandelions. You can see a little bit of her flower crown, just on the edge of the frame.
I miss her.
A Crown of Dandelions is a 4-page live action roleplaying game about Jessie. We're making flower crowns on her birthday, because it's what she would have done.

Living with grief is like joining a weird club that you didn’t know about until you became a member. I had thought it was impossible to describe, but I was wrong, A Crown of Dandelions is an invitation to sit with friends and contemplate the unthinkable in community. It’s sad and beautiful and worth reading.
Absolutely beautiful in every sense. I can feel the thoughtful and caring design in each sentence. Made me cry, and I loved it!
so good, literally so good. made me tear up 3 times in 4 pages <3
