Well. The end of last year was a lot, hence the quiet around here. New Year means new resolutions, new things to get done, new mountains to climb. And that’s where I am right now, planning and figuring and determine schedules and what to do next. The plans for this year are big. I’ve got …
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.

So, I played some Frostpunk over the weekend – a game about the world freezing over and humanity having to find a new home. It’s a pretty grim dark game about how far you’re willing to go to survive. It can be super fun, if you are into that. What I want to talk about …
I’m off to Origins this week – returning to demo some of the stuff that I’ve worked on over the course of the year and otherwise be a part of the industry. I’ve got a bunch of things on the go there and going to be going to GenCon to show off more. So many …
Website struggles continue. I’ve got to migrate my server provider this week. Please forgive any website troubles in the meantime.
