Yet again a month has ended, and I've forgotten to talk about the new issue of Monster of the Month over here on the Akhelas blog! Let's correct that, shall we? For those not in the know, Monster of the Month (or MOTM) is a monthly supplement from Akhelas, which provides new creatures, adventure hooks, … Continue reading The Bad Winds — MOTM #20

2020 Year in Review
Last week, I shared my reading list from 2020 as part one of summarizing my year. If you're interested in seeing what goes into my mind to create the stuff in this article, you should check it out. This week, I'm going to discuss what I've been working on—both published, and unpublished. The Year of … Continue reading 2020 Year in Review
Obligatory New Year Post
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)
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
To Post or Not to Post
Sorry to those of you waiting on my every oh-so-precious word, but no post this week. I owe a workshop submission on Monday, and need to go bury myself in a revision hole.
