Today we launched a brand-new podcast! The Lands Remaining Podcast tracks the development of The Lands Remaining TTRPG. The first episode is straightforward enough: What is The Lands Remaining?

Listen below or wherever you get podcasts.

Please re-post!

2025 has been the most challenging year of my life. I went through a major family loss while stepping in to become a guardian for my younger sibling. I’ve been working on a lot, which has pushed most of my creative work to the background - but it continues. I have big dreams for 2026 and beyond 🖤

I'm gonna keep saying this with my full chest: I am completely uninterested in genAI "art" of any kind.

There's no soul in it, there's no message in it, and it is actively destroying communities in America and beyond.

Don't whine to me about how you "did the work" because no you really didn't.

In this bleak midwinter, as we emerge from the longest night of the year, do you still find yourself lost in the dark woods?

In my first published game, Candlelight, you are ghosts trying to escape a haunted forest before it claims you forever.

It's half off on @itch.io:

I've been noticing open source tapestries, clothing fragments and such that would make neat scarves.

In PINE TAR, the latest zine for The Wassailing of Claus Manor, I had Santa claim that one could learn to do what he does by becoming a burglar.

Same set of tasks, with only the last link in the chain of events reversed: taking instead of giving.

I’m always saying the same shit and I mean it every time. In the age of soulless AI slop, nothing matters more than your voice, so write/create whatever makes you happy. Make it weird. Make it dark. Make it queer. Make it surreal, diverse, sexy. Make it political as fuck. Do YOU.
