Whenever I hear devs or other creatives who do worldbuilding say they *have* to use ch*tGPT to help with their lore bibles because no human could possibly collate such a huge and complex world… I glare in historian

Yesterday I released a micro-RPG for the #48wordRPGjam: The Witch’s Circle.
A GM-less, conversational game for 2–6 players about shared memories, withheld truths, and an advancing threat. 🕯️

The Witch's Circle is a micro-RPG for 2-6 players, inspired by "For the Queen" and "My Life with Master", and created for the #48WordRPGJam
I tried to squeeze background, meaningful storytelling, and an endgame in under 48 words. Every word earned its place.

I made a tiny solo journalling rpg for the #48WordRPGJam about tending the infinite garden at the end of Time. 🌱
A game takes about 10 minutes and sits somewhere between journal prompt and ritual.

Every time I think about Loom (1990) I wish someone would turn it into a ttrpg. Music as magic, weaving spells through melodies, a world built on loss and beauty. I’d play that in a heartbeat.

I just spent way too long setting up Obsidian templater to automatically calculate moon phases for journal entries... but it was super satisfying 🌙

Yesterday my leg was healed enough to go on a short walk up Pororari River. Sheer limestone cliffs, tui song, giant nikau palms, ferns and lichen everywhere.
Last night it rained on the cabin and I dreamt of stone and moss

For months I’ve been looking forward to hiking the Paparoa Track. Unfortunately, I twisted my knee yesterday and can’t walk.
Instead, I’m in a tiny cabin for four days in Punakaiki, waiting for friends to return. Deeply sad about not going on the walk, but grateful for an impromptu solo retreat.

Just launched a major update for Allucinalia, a solo dream journaling game that I wrote last year! Streamlined prompts, new end-game mechanics, extended gameplay ideas, new layout, new art (shout-out to the Public Domain Image Archive)... same price it was before!

Lately the border has felt restless. The fog swirls with strange colours, and echoes linger longer. Even the fire seems uncertain of its warmth.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?
The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.
Being nice is cool. Keep it up.
