I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all.

The sweeties at @darringtonpress.bsky.social invited me and my co-designer Cass Rea to make something special for the upcoming #Daggerheart expansion.

It's part Slugblaster, part Onward, and pairs well with a slurpee and 2009 dreampop.

It's called Castle High and I can't wait for you to see it!

i love this quote and earnestly think it is one of the most beautiful and resonant things ever said about why we make art as people and what it means to live and share.

and also, i think of it every time i instead of that choose to watch 15 youtube videos in a row

This piece is as good as people say it is. Read it to appreciate that writing isn't just about content, but style. AI can't do this.

Wet Grandpa remains one of my favourite adventure modules.

This is heartbreaking. Please help out if you can.
hey it'd be cool if you bought some zines because shit ain't going so great no more

writing's become unsustainable & I gotta shift my focus and the use of my very limited spoons.

fuck, y'all, writing's been my dream job since the 2nd season of xena first came out. 🤷‍♀️it worked for a while there.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Do we still need stories about an aspirational immigrant who's so devoted to his adopted country that he regularly puts himself in danger to help even those who fear and distrust him, and who's primary antagonist is an egotistical tech billionaire?

Yes, fucking obviously. You numpties.
