I originally intended to put out a single 2026 update near New Year’s, but as I started collecting my thoughts, it quickly became clear that it would turn into a very long post. More importantly, I wouldn’t really be able to do justice to some of the things I’m genuinely excited about without them getting

This one means a lot to me. The Fowl Hydra is officially live on DriveThruRPG, and I’m equal parts excited and nervous to finally put it out into the world. It’s a self-contained fantasy one-shot designed for a single session, built around escalating consequences, player choice, and a magical mistake that very quickly gets out

It’s been a bit of a wild couple of weeks since my last update. I’ve been heads-down on some larger projects, so I haven’t been posting as often. Even so, I’m still surprised and genuinely grateful to see folks stopping by without a new post being pushed by “The Algorithm”. So thank you to the

We had a blast with this one-shot. It was really good to have a light-hearted session after running and playing in much more serious and high stakes games.

November has come and gone, and somehow I hit my goals again, plus a bonus short story to finish out the month. The views and returning readers continue to blow me away. Thank you. I’m still very much an amateur writer, so the fact that strangers on the internet take time to read my work,

I little later than intended but I have it where I think I want it. I hope you enjoy. I linger beneath the loam and the interminable baleful sol, its reverberations fading by inches as night takes its throne. I ascend once more, drawn by the siren’s call of their beating essence coursing through their

I had hoped to finish this by the weekend, but the week turned out busier than expected and the holiday wiped me out. Still, I didn’t want the weekend to pass without sharing something, especially after setting that goal for myself. I’m not sure where the idea came from, but it’s been nagging at me

As November winds down, I’ve been thinking about how far this little site has come in such a short time. I launched it in early October with no expectations beyond having a place to put my work. Somehow, in just under two months, it’s already seen more visitors and more activity than I ever imagined

Loving the Game, Not the Grind I’ve always loved a good crunchy system. There is something satisfying about sitting down with a blank character sheet and letting the possibilities open up. Building a character from nothing, weaving abilities together, finding the perfect combination of stats, it scratches the same part of the brain as a
