Hi! I'm Jonathon Greenall, also known as Starshine Scribbles!

I'm a freelance writer and the multi-award-winning #TTRPG designer behind games like Pöltr and Mantigiest!

I've also written for Polygon, Lost in Cult, Nintendo Life, and many others!

I'm open for work in 2026!

I need to find more games like Mystic Messenger...

While bits of the plot didn't jive with me, I really liked the format.

"Vancouver may see an impactful amount of snow" may be the worst weather forecast I've ever heard.

Because based on how poorly most people in BC drive, any amount of snow is "impactful"

We're starting a new anime series!

Yu Yu Hakusho has a fascinating broadcast history as it jumped from Adult Swim to Toonami. But does the series still hold up today?

I'm so excited for this!

While TTRPG design can seem daunting and expensive at first, it is way easier than you think and I firmly believe anyone can make a TTRPG.

So I'm super excited to share nearly a decade of penny pinching tips with you all!

It is at 11am on the Saturday!

The fact its "9 out of 10 dentists" but only "8 out of 10 cats" suggests that cats are less effected by peer pressure.

Is Cowboy Bebop: The Movie as good as the series, or does it suffer from the spin-off movie curse?

We dive into it, in a new video!

Planning my "Make a TTRPG When You Have No Money" panel for @terminalcitycon.ca!

Got some really cool things in the works.

I think the coolest things about TTRPGs as an art form is that there is very little barrier to entry.

You can just go "I'm going to make a TTRPG" and just do it.

This episode was really a labour of love for me.

I spent about a decade tracking down an original copy of this episode, and spent several weeks digging through old interviews to find out everything I could about Cowboy Bebop's weird TV Tokyo run

So I would love it if you would give it a shot!
There is a Cowboy Bebop episode you've NEVER seen!

When TV Tokyo cut Cowboy Bebop's original broadcast short, the team quickly made a new ending to wrap up the series. However, this ending was only shown once and was never put on home media.

I want to do a LARP where we all pretend to be civilians in the Dragon Ball Z universe.

It is like a normal LARP, but every so often you have to donate your energy to a Spirit Bomb.

Stan Lee wanted to make Ringo Starr into a superhero.

In the late-2000s Stan said he was working on a project that would star Ringo as himself. Alas, the film never came to be....

Ever wanted to play a TTRPG while you play another TTRPG?

Then do I have the game of your (surprisingly specific) dreams!

AP Hearts is a game about Actual Play streamers trying to hold their show together, despite the cast's interpersonal drama.

Help us settle a debate!

Is Spike alive or dead at the end of Cowboy Bebop?

(We debate this in our latest video and its made me curious what the general consensus is)
