Personal life

Baker studied American History at Hampshire College with a focus on American Women's History. She is a quilter and quilt historian, particularly interested in how the history of non-dominant voices gets transmitted in objects and oral tradition rather than the official written history. She began quilting in 1987, and now collects and restores antique and vintage quilts, as well as creating new works. She is married to the game designer Vincent Baker.

Career

She is the author of A Thousand and One Nights, a role-playing game based on the collection of Arabic stories, The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. She was born in 1971 in upstate New York, where she started playing roleplaying games in 1978, and she currently resides in Greenfield Massachusetts. She is the mother of three children, and her husband, Vincent Baker, is also a roleplaying game designer. Baker is working on Miss Schiffer's School for Young Ladies of Quality, an rpg set in the 1890s at a finishing school for ladies of a certain type.

Baker co-writes Fair Game, with Emily Care Boss a blog-style design and roleplaying theory journal. She is the founding owner of Night Sky Games. Baker is an activist providing advocacy and support for mothers via MotherWoman Inc.

Focus

Baker designs games that are intended to create a voice for the marginalised, and ones that take limited time and resources to play. She believes that everyone has a story to tell and that those stories should be heard.
