When Derek’s Cairn adventure, Stag Lord’s Sanctum, comes out, it’ll be my turn to gesticulate bigger, stronger, and more erratically. The adventure demands it.
I went to PAX Unplugged 2025, played in/ran a lot of OSR game sessions, and had a lot of fun chatting with other bloggers, designers, and other very cool people within our little hobby.

part of what I like about Mamdani is his admission that housing affordability is a more complex problem than either building more housing or expanding rent control. You need to do both in order to protect the most vulnerable now and improve the problem long term.

Last night I bought CHVLR, a solo journaling game by @susanahgrace.bsky.social about being a teen mecha pilot in war. It sounds very bleak, so defintely right up my alley.

Flicking through it now, it has such a great presentation and unique system too👀

If you're into them, you should grab my in-development games as community copies, because that means itch will let me email you dev logs when there's updates to them! Even if you don't think you'll get around to reading it for a while (or ever! I know how it is!), it tells me people are interested!

In 2025 I will begin publishing Cairn supplements for third parties, under the moniker Cairn Press.

If you're a writer and want help with editing, layout, or printing I should be able to hook you up with the right people.

My goal is to make more Cairn content and get people paid for their work.
