I’m continuing to focus on writing ttrpgs and fiction where the bad guys lose as a way of staying sane …
If I put the same amount of effort into my dayjob as I do designing ttrpgs as a hobby, I would probably be the CEO of Scotland by now
Daydreaming that I am a noble ronin travelling between towns and righting wrongs with my trusty blade, and not in reality a corporate cog sitting on a train in east central Scotland with shite wifi

It is partly inspired by current affairs, but mostly fuelled by wish fulfilment
Writing a Bourne/Wick/Bond style ttrpg where players are agents of Trinity Division, a pagan matriarchal organisation fighting against a shady group of corrupt politicians, techbros and oligarchs who are working to ‘recompile the source code’ of humanity
Sometimes, I wish my biggest life problems were still running out of sheets of paper to make stretches of road in Steve Jackson's Car Wars

Thank you for creating such a fun romp!
About to GM an intro adventure for my Starfinder group where I will play the parts of an enthusiastic furry six-armed alien, a bitchy reality TV star, a stuffy android maitre d’ and three psychotic cyborg death boars. Good times
Few things are as touchingly optimistic as a group of level 1 ttrpg players about to embark upon a campaign that will take them to hell and (possibly) back…
Writing on my young adult dark academia cosmic horror novel is underway, and my main character is about to discover being the ‘chosen one’ isn’t quite the gift they thought it was…
Designing cards for my rock band deckbuilding ttrpg ... as well as 'standard' ones like verse, chorus, bridge and intro, I have now added 'pyrotechnics', 'synchronised dance routine' and 'costume change'
Just had a very successful playtest of my tongue-in-cheek battling bands ttrpg … the amps most definitely went up to 11

I have a job interview tomorrow where I need to try and pretend to not be a jaded old cynic who has seen this all before and will see it all again, and am therefore playing Arc Raiders
