Here are some of my coding projects:
You can find more projects of mine on BOLT80, my coding portfolio.
To get in touch, toots or emails are best (depending on the length of message). Here is a more exhaustive list:
I post articles infrequently on The Stochastic Game, my personal blog. Here are the most recent entries:
As promised last time I teased it, the first volume of the Canadian Chronicles is now available on DriveThruRPG. These are three scenarios for Call of Cthulhu, made and set in Canada, written by Francis Acquarone, Patrick Chandler, and myself. More details below!
I’ve been teasing it for a little bit but it’s getting closer and closer! The first three scenarios in the “Canadian Chronicles” series will be released next week on Chaosium’s Miskatonic Repository on DriveThruRPG. Here are some teasers and general information for each!
Catherine Ringer, singer for the band “Rita Mitsouko”, has recently passed away, so how about you watch and listen to this slice of late-1980s French music? Their most famous titles are “Marcia Baila” and “Andy”, two eminently catchy songs that saw a lot of gen-Xers and millennials dancing in their youth… also, yes the Rita […]
In the past couple years I’ve been thinking about an aspect of 21st century technology that I’m not sure has a name. I thought about it again when I read this recent post by Cory Doctorow on “The ordinariness of evil”. Cory talks about gen-AI CEOs touting the impending danger of their products as a […]
In the last article of the “Reading Classic RuneQuest” series, I looked at the Introduction chapter of the RuneQuest 2nd edition rulebook and noted that I would have things to say about the map of Glorantha we see here… as many of you know, I love maps, and this is one of the three classic […]

Last week KamCon started with a bang: a concert of by the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, with local band Tayos opening for them. Too bad the acoustics were bad… I’ll have to try and catch both bands in other venues whenever possible!
After looking at several options for a website featuring payments and subscriptions, I understand why everybody’s raving about Ghost despite it lacking a whole bunch of basic features: it’s the cheapest option, and it has 0% transaction fees.
It’s amazing to see the amount of time, resources, and energy game-devs pour into CRPGs to get even a fraction of the immersive, reactive worlds we achieve in TTRPGs with, like, a handful of dice and a few bullet points in a notebook…
