I never planned to become a TTRPG collector but, you know, it kinda just happened. I started looking on eBay for the games I used to play as a kid, and then I wanted to have a look at the previous editions of games I’m interested in, and then I’d hear about this or that […]

Oh hey, look at the time! Another post in my developer diary for the Unreal Engine camera system, and a whole release went by that I haven’t posted anything about. Oh well, let’s see if I can pick the pace back up later. In the meantime, here are some notes and highlights for the Gameplay […]

Counsellor Troi: “He is hiding something”
YEAH NO SHIT DEANNA
Okay obviously I’m, like, 40 years late on this, but shit! Tasha Yar! One of my favourite Next Generation characters! Oh Armus, you absolute sadistic bastard.
My favourite TTRPG classes:
Wait, I have AN IDEA!
I just hit it with my sword

Hold on I’m optimizing my spreadsheet
And now I’ll pass the spotlight to <PLAYER>
