Oh, hello everyone!
I've never actually done a full-on "introduction" kind of post in a long while so, here's one of those!
I like to create games about bad situations getting worse (and the scant but glorious times they get better), and you might have read my work in a lot of stuff.
Like these!

If you’ve got a weird TTRPG or board game or miniature game then I want to see it.
I will be at PAX Unplugged, but Danni will not be. I'll be doing mobile podcasting and checking out people's cool projects. If you have a cool project to show me (or just want to hang out), please let me know!

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.
