Introducing the design doc for ChronoGun: The Countdown Conspiracy, a light-gun game-flavored, rules-lite TTRPG. The doc is not yet complete; I need to add special enemies, an encounter table, and a sample adventure. I am looking for folks to collaborate on these core conceits and playtest w/ me.
ChronoGun: The Countdown Conspiracy
Countdown to Carnage The gun is plastic, of course, but it feels real, and the well-used trigger still has a satisfying click. The same looping video of steel-clad aliens leaning menacingly from behin...

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm 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! www.hazelmonforton.com
It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

I've been invited to do a segment on landback for KVPR's Central Valley Daily podcast.

I'm being invited on thanks to my reporting on the subject.

I do not know what my career is that I'm being invited on an NPR affiliate to talk about things, but it does not quite feel real.

Reposting this because I think it might be one my favorite things I've ever written.
the bad old soldier and the brand new world.
It doesn’t seem right, he thinks. The moment deserves more than a light drizzle and an old man shivering in his tent in the forest. It ought to be storming. The skies ought to be swelling with the …

I am the very model of an internet contrarian,
I am considered pinnacle of reddit's best vulgarians,
All my views are relative to counterculture aggregate,
Every year I'm voted as the devil's favorite advocate

I am roughly $180 short. I'm going to post through today. I need to raise the money by 6 p.m. this evening or things are going to get vastly more complicated.
I have one more day to raise this before it becomes a major problem. The short version is that the ongoing shutdown has had knock on effects on my and my roommate's income, small as it is, that have necessitated getting help with rent.

I will be unhoused without help.

Today I'm 55 years old. My father died when he was 54, killed by his addiction, and I thought I'd die before my 55th year as well. Cancer tried, but I'm still here. For my birthday, I'd appreciate you sharing this GoFundMe with friends or on social media.

The Chimera Ant arc in HxH was so relentlessly bleak that it put me off of the series. It also taught me that there are certain methods of killing or torture, and/or certain victims, that squick me out so bad I can't enjoy whatever else is going on in the story.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Gonna quote post for visibility. Not having food sucks.
If anyone is feeling generous this Indigenous Peoples Day, the bank holiday has put me further from my paycheck than I planned and I'm without food for the day and tomorrow. Would like to raise $125 for food and to avoid a late fee on a bill.
