I've done it for others; it's a lot of pressure running a game for creators. It can be pretty intimidating. I've never had it run for me....

I regret nothing

One of the best people I know made a game for ZINE QUEST, Stevie Edwards. Our Flag Means Kiss is his first game he’s putting out to the general public.

Please support this amazing person!

Putting this out here, if people want to read YA fantasy with sapphics and swords (and daggers).

Said this before, saying it again:

There are people trying. There are people marching. There are people putting their bodies in the way. There are people being disappeared.

The people of the US aren’t being silent. They are being silenced.

Trans TTRPG designers, especially if ur bi-poc, I wanna collaborate on a project I'm crowdfunding this Fall.

Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.

New year but still job hunting! If anyone has leads on narrative design, writing (video games or tabletop/board games), DEI consulting, or editing; HMU via LinkedIn or I can DM you my email.

Unfortunately, due to past harassment, I don't have a publicly available email address.

So, it was officially announced! Gutterpunk the TTRPG is getting a French Translation! This TTRPG combines my love of music biz lingo, the punk scene, and gaming!

Based in part on nearly 20 years in the scene as a musician. Much love to Skaldirion Editions!
