It's already been a week since CRITcon, and I'm still buzzing from the experience. It was my first time tabling at an event, and I've been cherishing the feeling of being surrounded by a community that instantly felt like home. What a badass group of warm & welcoming people. 💖

Getting ready to table my first convention at CRITcon in Portland, OR, 10/24 - 10/26! While gathering my wares, I realized I'd never gotten copies of Escape the Iron Dungeon made. This was the first game I made, so I gave the design a glow-up.
If you're in the PNW, come say hi at CRITcon!

I haven't played Cairn yet, but I'm going to pick it up so I can run this bad boy
The digital version of my latest cairn joint just dropped! It's got weird little guys, spooky skeletons, and some downright deadly encounters. Stay tuned for physical versions coming soon.

Oof, this is so tough. I'm torn between Portishead's "Dummy," My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless," Air's "Moon Safari," and NIN's "The Fragile." All of these were so important to shaping my musical taste!
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Just finished my play through of Thousand Empty Light by @alfredvalley.bsky.social -- what an awesome experience. The module had a tight gameplay loop that was easy to break into smaller play sessions, and the Combined Systems Semiotic Standard oracle was pure genius.
