So I realized this morning that I haven’t actually talked about Broken Things yet. Whoops. It’s a project that I started with a few friends & colleagues based, basically, around the idea we can do more together than apart. We’re all creative-types of differing bents. Artists, game designers, whatever. So, we joined forces. The image …
So, I wanted to write about Lovecraft for his birthday today, but there are some complex feelings there. Turns out it is complicated to deconstruct some of those feelings.

Website struggles continue. I’ve got to migrate my server provider this week. Please forgive any website troubles in the meantime.
