Interested in one shots where everyone dies in a spectacular blaze of glory? I wrote one such adventure as part of this collection from Beadle and Grimm's, "Faster, Purple Worm: Everybody Dies, Vol. 2" Today is the last day to back! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bea...

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

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.

Coming soon: Wizard Mind Palace: Solo Journaling Roleplaying Game

You are a wizard that must repair their corrupted memories in order to complete an epic quest.

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!
