Michael Iantorno
Hello! My name is Michael Iantorno and I'm a game scholar, designer, and writer. You may know me from my ancient videogame hack HyperBound, my game industry research on unions and co-ops, or as one of two authors of The Elephant in the Room: Feat Taxes in Pathfinder.
This Itch page aggregates a lot of my game and game-adjacent work into one place. It's home to esoteric digital games, videogame hacks and mods, and public-facing research projects.
