Plays
Mission’s plays center around themes of social isolation, hopelessness, and the gentle wish for something better. She has tackled a wide variety of genres, but her most recent body of work shares a nautical setting. Some of her favorite moments in her work involve a woman getting hugged by an ancient kraken, a gas station clerk being attacked by evil soda cans, and a social media intern sleepwalking into a lake.

TTRPGS
Mission loves to create games with unique mechanics and enticing worlds. The playgrounds she creates for players are soft with a dark edge. Think black licorice flavored bubble-gum. Goofy characters dealing with real problems, and game mechanics that reinforce the emotional complexity of those characters. Also with a rocket launcher, probably.
Girl at the Bottom
Jules is trapped, and she is getting deeper. Locked within an antique diving suit, she slowly sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Every league meets her with mysterious creatures and difficult memories. Memories of the unfolding events that led to her situation, and of the repeated denials of who she is. Girl at the Bottom is an honest look at toxic masculinity, losing hope, and being a transgender woman. Currently seeking workshop opportunities!
I Can’t See The Stars From Marvin Street
Waking up one morning drenched in water and dazed, Otto Pearson is shocked after throwing up a squid into their bathtub. While making pennies running a social media account for a large company, haunting dreams torment Otto. As their sanity wanes, the squid “Ernie” keeps getting bigger. Worse than any sea monster or terrifying nightmare though, is the fact that Otto can no longer trust where they go in their sleep. Cast with rehearsals starting in August!
Sea-Foam
Set in the Endless Sea, Sea-Foam is a role-playing game that puts you in the fins of a Merfolk. Solve conflicts, engage in duels, and study the mysteries of the deep in this new game by Mission Reed. Introducing the SFS (Sea-Foam System), which prioritizes careful positioning in combat, and the changing emotional state of your characters! Updates every Sunday, join our Discord server!
