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
The Throat of Winter (and other news)
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)
Overlight Review
"A roleplaying game of kaleidoscopic fantasy." That tagline, combined with the above cover art, intrigued me enough to pick up this 2018 tabletop roleplaying game from Renegade Games. An unusual claim, juxtaposed with thrillingly colorful artwork, offered me enough promise to pick up the core rulebook from my local gaming store. I read the 332-page … Continue reading Overlight Review
Waste Not
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
Binge-Streaming and the Mini-Series
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
The Story So Far…
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…
End of August Update
(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
End of July Update
Hello, Internet! Haven't written anything on here for a few weeks. Largely, I haven't felt like I have something interesting to say. I'm still in that state to some degree. But, it's been a while so I figured I ought to at least pop on and talk a little bit on what I've been up to. … Continue reading End of July Update
Weekly Update – 6/27/18
Hello, internet! Before I dig into what I've been up to this week, I'd like to give a quick shoutout to Summer Games Done Quick. I've mentioned GDQ on here before, but to rehash: they're a charity which does two videogame marathons each year to fundraise for a selected charity. This marathon's donating to Doctors … Continue reading Weekly Update – 6/27/18
Weekly Update – 6/21/18
Hello, Internet! Well, it's been a pretty busy couple of weeks for me. Mostly for stuff popping up all at once in the current class I'm in (a workshop, toward my MFA); it turns out that when multiple projects need attention in a short time frame, I can't really take a few hours aside to … Continue reading Weekly Update – 6/21/18
