I make tabletop RPG stuff. The most popular thing I've made has been Procedures to Discover the Path Ahead.

About me:
I make adventures and other supplements in the roughly NSR side of OSR; I also play a lot of "story games" (recently: BitD, Wanderhome) and a variety of types of solo games. A lot of what I've been writing lately has been for Cairn or for a non-specific OSR-type system.

Dropped this new drawing to my patrons this week! I think it's pretty fucking rad.
Also, I'm selling these game books at a steep discount so I can afford stuff. Snag some prints and such, cause these are great prices, and frankly, cool books :)
Cheers

Just released the Expanding Atlas, a printable notebook that lets you record the same map at varying granularities!
Because it uses 6x6 grids, it also makes it incredibly easy to randomize regions and specific locations!

Wrote up my experience running the first game of "miniphracts", which was just a very pared down version of the Vanguard ruleset over two weeks.

best part of running a small miniphracts game is I only have to wait like 2 more weeks before I can talk about it

an internet person has made a searchable version of Borges‘ library of Babel and it’s way more horrifying than the actual story libraryofbabel.info
Library of Babel
A project towards a universal library. By this art you may contemplate the variation of the 23 letters.

I was reading through my blog backlog and I read something and then it disappeared. It was a post about a sort of weird university or weird science; maybe glog-adjacent in tone, there was a d4 table of random sciences, probably published in the last 2 months, any idea what it might have been?

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.
All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

One thing about sort of informal collaborative groups is I have a hard time accepting things for free from other people. I have no problem offering people things for free but I always have to give more than I get and I feel kind of anxious about accepting something if that may not be the case

My big problem with live text roleplay as a concept is that people mostly do it while I'm at work and then stop doing it when I have free time

Really enjoyed getting drinks with some friends who are heavily involved in local politics. It was good to step away from the world of ttrpgs and talk about things, like elections and ballot measures, that are much less fraught than people playing games very slightly differently than each other

Next month I will launch Cairn Press.
I tried to make a publishing agreement that is fair, free, and mutually beneficial. Once the lawyer approves final contract I'll release it as CC-BY-SA, if possible. I've also written up a "plain English" version that you can read here:
