I think a lot of us millennials & older really take it for granted that we were the last of only a couple generations where there was an all-encompassing campaign to encourage literacy. Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!"

If you're gender marginalized and have a project, please list your preferred name and pronouns if you can! There are so many projects I'd love to feature on @moreseatsrpg.bsky.social, but I can't if I can't find some basic info.

Writing is hard. Writing is great. Writing sucks. I love writing. I wish I could stop writing. I cannot stop writing. Please help. Please leave me alone, I have another 3 pages to get through. Please read my work. Please never perceive this garbage I've created. Respect me. Ignore me.

The only prescriptive advice I’ll give young designers:

Make games only you could make.

Don’t ask me what I mean by that, cos you either already know - or you’ll figure it out.

Person in a pool with tendrils coming from their eyes, and repeated faces or masks transforming into the moon in its phases.

It’s a new month, with the Moon being the card I’m meditating on. I’m using the Blood Moon Tarot by Sam Guay.

Bring Down the Stars Battle gods and fight for your life in this portal invasion survival game, inspired by works such as Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and Solo Leveling. Based on the Godkiller system.

To be a bit vulnerable on main, this feels like a horrible time to be doing self promotion. Everything hurts and I can't bring myself to do the hype cycle thing. But I genuinely and sincerely want to keep making cathartic and joyful art, so please consider supporting that.

List of nominees

Thrilled and a bit shy to announce that my essay “My Long Road to Horror” is an official nominee for a Bram Stoker Award. 🤩

Congrats to ALL of the finalists and editor Becky Siegel Spratford, who pulled together a HELL of a book of powerful essays on what drew us to horror. (And thanks, Mom!)
