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:
Steve Jackson Games posted “A Line Editor’s Intro to GURPS” recently on their Daily Illuminator blog. This is basically a presentation and elevator pitch for GURPS, written by Sean “Dr. Kromm” Punch, who has been GURPS’ line editor for what feels like forever (and he does the job very well). This intro is pretty straightforward […]
The Guide to Glorantha is a wonderful beast, and I figured I should write about it. It weighs over 5.7 kilos, it’s over 800 pages long, it has thick glossy paper, it’s full of glorious cartography, it won the prestigious Diana Jones award in 2015, and somehow it was how I was successfully introduced to […]
I was distracted for a while with things like finding a new job and releasing some Call of Cthulhu adventures, but I’m now back to reading RuneQuest 2nd edition! We are finally out of the Introduction chapter (and some digressions about it), yay! Let’s enter the game proper! The next chapter is about character creation, […]
I hinted at it last time I talked about my camera system for Unreal Engine: it might come back. Well, now it sort-of has, and if you have some use for it, you can help by sponsoring its development and getting technical support for it! All the information can be found at my company’s website. […]
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 […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky:
“Atlas Games halts direct-to-consumer sales to the EU and Brazil as PPWR rules bite”: Not the first nor the last to do this, but I’m a bit torn on this issue. Sure it sucks a bit, but I think reducing package shipping worldwide and supporting local game stores is good?
I started reading Cory Doctorow’s blog regularly, and there’s a lot of great stuff. This recent piece on how “Expedia amazoned hotel rooms” is particularly interesting (where is government regulation when you need it?) and answers some questions I had about hotel prices.
“Proton’s CEO Cancels AI ‘Re-Interviews’”: This guy sounds like the absolute worst.
“Wealth Inequality in America, Drawn to Scale”: Load the page and start scrolling upwards. And then when you hit the top, click “Keep Going”! Linear scales are powerful to show the staggering amount of wealth inequality. Some people really deserve a good guillotine.
