Chaosium recently published their third adventure pack for the newest edition of their tabletop roleplaying game RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, titled The Pegasus Plateau & Other Stories. I've just finished reading it. In this post, I'm going to take some time to go chapter by chapter through the new book, and talk a little about each. … Continue reading First Impressions—”The Pegasus Plateau & Other Stories”
It's been a while, and just recently I realized I'd neglected to update the blog with the publication of my new series, Monster of the Month. Monster of the Month is a, well, monthly series of new bestiary entries for the tabletop roleplaying game RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. They're all available in the Jonstown Compendium, … Continue reading Monster of the Month
Hello, everyone! It's 2020 and that means I'm supposed to write a new blog talking about all my bright and shiny ambitions for the coming year. Or decade. Right? I'm gonna do the generic thing and start first by reviewing what random malarkey I've gotten up to in the last year. 2019 in Review Let's … Continue reading Obligatory New Year Post
First things first: as those of you who follow my Facebook page are aware, I recently published The Throat of Winter, an adventure for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. This was published through Chaosium's new community content program, the Jonstown Compendium. Similar to the DM's Guild for Dungeons & Dragons, or the Miskatonic Repository for Call of Cthulhu, the Jonstown … Continue reading The Throat of Winter (and other news)

Here's a bit of flash fiction I wrote a few months back. I decided not to pursue it further, but do believe it's of a shape to be worth reading. Hope y'all enjoy! Sam drove his spade into the loamy earth. “Y'know 'Arry, it just don't seem right,” he said, wiping sweat and muck from … Continue reading Waste Not
With the rise and continued growth of services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon's Prime Video, the way in which many people consume stories has changed. Before these streaming services, film stories were presented for consumption in basically two ways: serially over television, or in a one- to three-hour block, as a movie. There were … Continue reading Binge-Streaming and the Mini-Series
Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? Six months, give or take, since the last post I wrote. A lot's happened since then. Bought a house and moved. Read a few books. Wrote some stuff. Took a few classes. Looking back, it's hard to quantify and elaborate upon lived experience. Today, I'm gonna ramble about … Continue reading The Story So Far…
(Yes, I know it's September now. Shush.) The last month's been interesting. My gut reaction is to say "No, it hasn't been fruitful" but I don't think that's entirely accurate. Jiharel sat on the backburner through August, although it's still bouncing around in my mind, with a lot of the same challenges and wonderings as I … Continue reading End of August Update
