Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

Last day for Galactic Dawn on Kickstarter! This project's layout is something I'm super proud of, the game is a fun collaborative/competitive mix and great for worldbuilders! If we get to our next stretch goal I get to put more original art in the game! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pan...

After two years of writing adventure modules, I'm jumping back into journaling games! Wizard Mind Palace is a game about preparing for an epic quest, meant to capture the vibe of Gandalf sipping tea while poring over dusty tomes and scrolls. Coming to Kickstarter next month.

well. two months before my four-year anniversary, my role at wizards has been made redundant, and I have been laid off. i have a lot of feelings i'll probably never put words to, except to say that i don't regret a single day and have so much love for anyone else affected and those who remain.

I played this as my first solo RPG back in its v1.1.1 iteration. It's amazing how much emotional punch it delivers with such short prompts. Possibly because I can't help but cast my puppers as the heroes. It sold me on solo journaling games. Excited to see the new multiplayer options!
