– Matt Hirth, playtester

“Jacqueline Bryk is one of the most innovative designers in the field today. Her expertise with safety mechanics derives from her understanding and unyielding empathy which leads to the creation of games that reflect the world in ways both inspiring and poignant.”
– Michael Meinberg, freelance writer and blogger at Goat Song
“Jax is not afraid to create games that deal with hard topics, but she goes a step further. She creates a space that allows her players to feel safe exploring these topics. She has the ability to build trust and rapport with her players quickly so that even first time players can dive right in.”
– Andi Rhoades Gastonguay, freelance designer
“The thing that impresses me most about Jacqueline’s writing is where it comes from. She has a delightful gift for pulling inspiration from the media, world events, and stories around her and turning that inspiration into an engaging creation of her own. She gets you thinking and she gives you the tools to make yourself uncomfortable on YOUR terms. Highly recommended. “
-Andrew Bancroft, playtester
“Jax is gaming’s unparalleled expert in safety mechanics, going hand-in-hand with her desire to create compelling narratives about dealing with trauma. Her hyperfocus on the details of a setting make her an asset to any team. Hire her immediately.”
-Ian A. A. Watson, community manager and developer with Onyx Path Publishing
“Jax is an engaging, fearless, and community conscious creator and gamer. Her games and content are exciting, quirky, and super fun! Jax’ passion for inclusive and safe gaming and her tireless efforts to bring imaginative and diverse game styles are inspiring as much as they are entertaining!”
-Patrick “Stout” Gerrity, player
“Jacqueline Bryk’s work proves players and storytellers can explore the dark corners of the human experience without cruelty. She has a deep knowledge and love of both the lore and mechanics of the games she writes for. Were these her only talents, she’d be an asset to any company smart enough to hire her.
What sets her apart is a deep well of empathy that’s rare when dealing with horror. Too often, writers use horror and pain as shortcuts for cheap drama. Bryk understands the impact of these tropes and deploys them with a care that deepens their impact. She elevates every project she’s part of.”
-Matthew Gault, journalist with Vice
