It’s right before launch. I’m in the Discord for The Secret of St. Kilda, chatting with the director. I see him say that the first episode needed a lot of work to get ready for the launch. Everything I hear and feel narrows to a fine point. I fucked up...

If you’ve taken a look at my Twitter account recently, you’ve probably noticed an uptick in tweets about the games I’ve made. That’s because I set up a bot for Twitter a few weeks ago to automatically tweet promotional things for me. It’s...

I’m sitting at my desk, fingers poised to double-click on a Word document I haven’t opened in six years. On the surface, I’m not really worried about it. I mean, it’s just a set of words, right? But underneath, I’m anxious, scared of what...

Last week, I spent three days riding from Cleveland to Columbus on the bike pictured above. I was supposed to make it to Cincinnati across five days, but three was all I could handle. This was part of a game project I Kickstarted, and the backers were interested in...

This Isn’t Going to Go How You Expect it to Go That phrase should have been firmly in my mind as I set out in the first day of this trip. If you’re not familiar, I decided to celebrate my 40th birthday with a five-day, cross-Ohio bikepacking trip. Start in...

It’s mid-August. I’m on my bike, riding down on the of the local trails. It’s hot, but not too hot. Sunny, pleasant. An idea is building in my mind as the wind rushes past me. Something to do to mark my 40th year, something I can turn into an event I...

Hello! I’ve been dabbling with streaming for a while, now. A while back, I was streaming enough to get Affiliate status, even. Until last night, I’d not ever really felt like my setup was equal to what I wanted out of the experience. Some new hardware has...

There’s been some talk on Twitter recently about pay in RPGs. It’s a topic that’s never far from my mind, but the recent discussions have me thinking about it even more than usual. It’s a topic with a lot of hard realities baked in and I feel...

This coming Wednesday, we’re going to have what will likely be the last session of the Star Wars: Rogue Trader game on TheOtherCast. This is a pretty cool milestone for us. We started playing this campaign just about a year ago. As had been my habit, I’d...

So, I made a mistake when I was getting the most recent Fate of the Planes episodes posted. I accidentally posted what’s really Episode 3 as Episode 2’s file last week. That means when I posted Episode 3 yesterday, it looked like a duplicate. What you need...

Origins came to a close yesterday, though lucky people are leaving Columbus today. Last week was good in a lot of ways, not the least of which were the launches of two new shows. Fate of the Zakros Planes (Span?) FotP and Zakros Span both launched last week and as of...

I’ve been toying with the idea of having my own website for a while, now. I finally took the initiative and got things set up. It’s a little raw right now, but I’m going to add to it as time goes on. I can say this: getting this stuff set up helped...
