Stories in Play Initiative (external link) (SIPI) is a platform for knowledge creation and dissemination relating to the broad fields of digital/playable storytelling. It is comprised of and directed by a research community that is made up of emergent and established scholars and industry professionals. SIPI provides a forum and publication venue where those interested in digital storytelling can share ideas and have work in traditional and innovative formats reviewed, refined, and broadcast. SIPI hosts the Playable Stories Archive and the Unarchived podcast.

SIPI also produces the Creating Playable Stories Series, an Open Educational Resource (OER) for procedural creativity. The first installment in this series is Creating Playable Stories with Ink & Inky by Jeremy Andriano, published on theToronto Metropolitan University Libraries' PressBooks platform.
