I'm Chris Bissette, an award-winning multi-disciplinary creative from the UK. I grew up in rural England, but my career was birthed from Manchester's famously vibrant cultural scene.
My practice currently encompasses three main areas:
- Tabletop roleplaying games - I write and design games and adventures on a freelance basis for some of the biggest names in tabletop, alongside a thriving career as a solo creator.
- Graphic design and layout - I take manuscripts and turn them into beautifully finished books.
- Music - I compose soundtracks for tabletop roleplaying games, and have recently branched out into video games and short films.
My work has been shortlisted for the Origins Awards and nominated for the ENnie Awards, and in 2022 I won the inaugural "The Awards". My solo journalling game The Wretched was a global phenomenon, making multiple end-of-year lists and inspiring hundreds of new games based on its Wretched & Alone engine.
For the past couple of years I've been working on developing the new edition of the classic RPG Tunnels & Trolls with Rebellion Unplugged. In 2025 I brought my first gallery installation to Nottingham's Bonington Gallery for the Weird Hope Engines exhibit, an interactive dystopian storytelling game called Directive 92A that interrogates the ways in which we tell stories, and how storytelling can be used as a vehicle of resistance.
I am a member of the SFWA, where I am an active member of the Game Writing Committee.
