A teaser poster for Nostos, a TTRPG coming to Kickstarter in early April. Impressionist stormclouds thunder over a roiling sea. Caption text reads "Let's find a way home" above the central word, "Nostos". Illustration by Kaysha Siemens.

The pre-launch page for Nostos is live on Kickstarter!

Give it a follow if you'd like updates about my TTRPG about sailing home and saying goodbye, coming April 7, 2026.

Let's find a way home.

Hapax by Honey Cup Games a game about lonely words on a dying world

Just put a short & sad one-page TTRPG up on itch: Hapax, a game about lonely words on a dying world.

Shout-out to the @storygameschicago.bsky.social Discord, where this week's design prompt to build a game around language inspired me to throw this together.

Check it out, it's free!

Really loved stuff from @outridercreative.bsky.social, @dngnclub.itch.io, and @lumpley.bsky.social this year. Excited to see more from all of them, as well as some of the sick projects from @ericabridgesphd.bsky.social.

This episode was a blast - its one of two this season that really immediately begged for a BIG game. At least comparatively.

Excited to hear what people think!

Spending time with incredible designers at a con always gets me so excited about the hobby and makes me bounce off the walls with new ideas.

… I might have the beginnings of a sports anime zine??

Went to the Printers Row Lit Fest today and my two big purchases were the Chicago Manual of Style and a super nice used Compact OED

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand
