posting occupies an entirely different part of my brain than texting does
Is there a term for when your friend isn't texting you back but is posting on social media

I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends.
This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

2025 Stats:
Games I Ran: Draw Steel, 5e, 5.24e, Cosmere RPG
Games I Played: Blades in the Dark, Rush & Punch, Daggerheart (in addition to all the games above)
I didn’t really get to play many games where at least one person wasn’t working. Most of the time that person was me!

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

I wrote over a hundred thousand words, got my first lead designer credit, planned and enjoyed my first vacation since 2019, and [REDACTED UNTIL 1/5].
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

The true rule 0 of campaign play: Games stall out because people can’t get their schedules to match. Picking a schedule and sticking to it is the best way to accomplish long-term play.

I have thoughts about networking but as someone who is firmly mid-career they all boil down to “I wish mid- and late- career people were more interested in getting to know early-career people” and also “I wish early-career people came prepared”

Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting
