Game designer. Thousands of RPG books I swear I'll get to. I invent problems so I can solve them and then build systems to create new ones. I've been wrong about everything at least once. Especially this. Big cryptid energy.

A close-up of a bronze sculpture with text carved into its surface reading: “I am not asking to be loved. I want to love.” Partial text is also visible at the top (“chas…”) and bottom (“Praised be”). The surface has an organic, textured quality with intertwining forms surrounding the inscribed panel.

A bronze and gold decorative plaque mounted on a cream-colored archway at the entrance to Disneyland. The plaque reads: “HERE YOU LEAVE TODAY AND ENTER THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY, TOMORROW AND FANTASY” in raised gold lettering. Through the arch, Main Street U.S.A. is visible, with Victorian-style buildings, trees, and crowds of park guests. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight under a clear blue sky.

If you know who this is, we should be friends. Or enemies. Or frenemies.

This image shows a handmade crocheted plush toy representing Mr. Pages from the game Fallen London. The plush has a dark brown, featureless face (appearing as a black void) surrounded by a light tan/beige crocheted hood and robe. The robe has small decorative beads or sequins in purple, blue, and green colors embroidered on the front. The design gives it a mysterious, hooded appearance characteristic of the enigmatic character from the game. The plush is being held up against a background of what appears to be shelves with books, media, and electronic equipment.

Introducing HealthOS: thewizardly.com/2024/12/29/introduc…

If you have an unhealthy relationship to food, fixing it is (usually, for most people, myself included) not a matter of ‘eat like a healthy person,’ the same way an alcoholic can’t drink like a normal person. You have to do something far more intentional and deliberate, more absolute, more costly, and do it constantly forever. - TheZvi in Medical Roundup #1

2024 Year End Battle Report: thewizardly.com/2024/12/29/year-end…

This image shows a Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game in progress, viewed from above. The battlefield is set up with reddish-brown modular walls creating a maze-like pattern of corridors and rooms across a dark gaming board. The board itself features detailed circuit-like patterns, and the walls are connected by turquoise decorative elements at their intersections. Several groups of painted miniature figures are positioned around the board, representing different armies with distinct color schemes - some darker units and some in yellower tones. A few yellow objective markers are scattered across the battlefield, and gaming accessories like a water bottle and small containers for dice or tokens can be seen at the board's edges.

In this updated view of the Warhammer 40k game, several changes are noticeable from the first image. The most obvious change is the positioning of the miniature units - there appears to have been significant movement of troops across the battlefield after the first round of play. The darker-colored units (which appear to be grey/metallic in tone) have advanced further into the maze-like corridor structure on the left side of the board, while the yellower-toned units are now more concentrated on the right side.

In this third image of the Warhammer 40k game, further tactical movements have occurred. The metallic/grey colored units on the left side have consolidated their position and appear to be engaging more directly with their opponents near the center of the board. Some of the yellow-toned units have moved into what appears to be a more defensive position on the right side of the board, particularly around a circular feature in the terrain. The overall battlefield structure remains unchanged, but the positioning of the armies suggests the battle has intensified around the central corridor area.

In this fourth image of the game, the battle appears to have reached a critical point. The metallic/grey units and yellow-toned forces are now heavily engaged in the central corridor area of the board, with units from both sides clustered around the middle section. Some of the yellow forces have repositioned near the top of the board, while maintaining their presence around the circular feature on the right side.
