Some Notes on Mausritter

Mausritter is a TTRPG in which you play little adventuring mice trying to survive in a world of big dangers. If you’re a fan of the excellent comicbook Mouse Guard, you should already be hooked! The system is as minimalist as its protagonists, with low-prep two-hours adventures, so we played this a dozen times as […]

UE5 Gameplay Cameras: The Basic Design

This is the seventh post in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system. Since the last post was a super high level view of what the system is supposed to be, I figured I would just go down one step for this article and share some notes about the general design. This might […]

UE Gameplay Cameras: A Modernization of Camera Systems

This is the sixth article in my UE Gameplay Cameras developer (GPC) diary. Last week I wrote about one of the first decisions I had to make when I started this work, but I realized I could write about the very first decision I had to make: the decision to start making a camera system […]

UE5 Gameplay Cameras: Node Evaluators

This is the fifth article in my GPC developer diary. Gameplay Cameras (GPC) is a camera system for UE5 that started shipping with the engine as part of version 5.5, but is still in its “experimental” phase. We plan to have it in “beta” with 5.6, and “production ready” with 5.7 or 5.8 depending on […]

UE5 Gameplay Cameras: Pre-Blending

This is the fourth post in my developer diary about the Gameplay Cameras (GPC) plugin for Unreal Engine. I skipped last week because I was too busy! This week let’s pick up on something I alluded to last time, which is “parameter pre-blending”. As always, everything I’m showing here is work-in-progress, scheduled to ship in […]

UE5 Gameplay Cameras: Parameterization

This is the third article in my developer diary about the Gameplay Cameras (GPC) plugin for Unreal Engine 5. It comes a day late because my workspace is in the middle of a big refactor — nothing compiles and I can’t take screenshots! 😅 In the end, I used some old screenshots and videos I […]

On TTRPG First-Looks and Unboxings

Lately I’ve seen a bit of criticism about TTRPG “reviews” that are mostly about flipping through a book and sharing first impressions. I do agree that it’s wrong to call those “reviews” but frankly, most of their authors actually call them “first looks” or “unboxings” anyway, so I’m pretty sure they are aware of that. […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky:


These Grazelanders are farming some totally normal looking turnips… right? A painting by me for the Grazelands Sourcebooks! #TTRPG #Glorantha #RuneQuest

Our next Friday game will be Pendragon! Finally! 😄 But which edition to run? Which adventures to start? Which VTT to use? Choices, choices! Oh my! #TTRPG

Reading the best roleplaying game ever while the good fluffy boy relaxes.

This week we wrapped up our short campaign of Spire (using the “Eidolon Sky” frame) The Firebrand died betraying the Ministry but saving the City, and the Carrion-Priest lost an arm to spare his hyena companion! #TTRPG
