Telling someone "the first two books are kinda meh, but the THIRD BOOK IS SO GOOD" is not the selling point you think it is. Sounds like it sucks, dawg.

My Gen Con has concluded and my cup is full after a week of playing tons of games, lots of friends new and old, and clients I don't get to see in person too often. I leave grateful. Never let anyone make you feel like you don't belong. (The game is Rebirth, highly recommend!)

Been on a reading kick lately as I attempt to work through my ever-growing TBR pile. Here's what I crammed into my brain in July! Enjoyed all three thoroughly.

Three books in a pile: Stoner by John Williams, Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie, and Caliban's War by James S.A. Corey

Gen Con is right around the corner and I'm so excited to play some games, see some friends, and hopefully make some new ones. If you're in the tabletop space and have the need for a great creative partner for your project, I would love to meet you. Shoot me a message and we'll meet up!

En-nichi is live on Kickstarter and I could not be more excited! A game which thru the branding, art direction, graphic design for the game itself and crowdfunding page I got to explore themes and aesthetics outside of my usual. Check it out, and your support is always appreciated! I'll link below.

I've had this one on the drawing desk for a couple of weeks and have been pecking away at it whenever energy and time has allowed. Something just for the love of the game! My take on the Basilisk, basking in the desert sun...at least until dinner arrives.

Can someone explain to me what I'm missing with the Dungeon Crawler Carl hype? No shade, but it just seems like Cards Against Humanity millennial humor and not much else. Am I alone in not being an enjoyer?

This has been a bit of Instagram thing, but figured I'd share here as well! These represent some of my favorite logos I’ve had the pleasure of making, mostly in tabletop games, over the past few years. Here’s to many more marks that represent the games that bring friends together.

Last night my wife and I started building out a fantasy world using Worldwizard from Jason Lutes. We are about 60% through the Primordial Age, but it’s shaping up nicely and this game has sparked some really cool ideas already. Excited to keep building! Very cool system, highly recommend.

I posted this image in the Forbidden Lands subreddit and this comment made me a little more emotional than it probably should have. I can make stuff that makes people want to explore worlds they may not have otherwise, and that just does it for me.

What was supposed to be a little pamphlet one shot turned into a 12-page adventure (oops). Writing is done, got the layout roughed in, and knocked out a cover. Time for maps and illustrations. Tower of the Corpsewright will be the first tabletop project where I did it all!

Putting some work in with the dip pen. It’s a challenge but it’s been a fun change up. Also, gnolls are highly underrated in a world of goblins and kobolds.

See a knight, post a knight. This is Vargo, a goblin knight of the Order of the Gnashers, and his trusty wolf Bombo. Vargo is my character for a co-op campaign my wife and I are doing in Forbidden Lands. I’ll be doing a blog that documents the campaign with the first post coming soon!
