Here are some of my coding projects:
You can find more projects of mine on BOLT80, my coding portfolio.
I post articles infrequently on The Stochastic Game, my personal blog. Here are the most recent entries:
I was recently listening to the Titterpigs episode on horror games, where Scott and Keith put out an open question to their audience: can you have a horror game that lets you retain agency throughout the whole adventure? I wrote up some long rant, recorded it, and sent it to them. I figured that, for […]
When Bud (of Bud’s RPG Review fame) did his RPG DNA on Twitter, it featured something not quite like a traditional RPG: Fighting Fantasy books. I remember going “huh” when he mentioned this in his “First, Last, and Everything” in the Grognard Files podcast #41, because Fighting Fantasy books were also a big part of […]
From The Verge: In a sign of how far Apple is willing to go to continue raising the profile of Apple TV Plus, the company has worked out a deal with Roku that will give the streaming video service its own shortcut button. This is the first time a branded Apple TV Plus button has […]
I recently posted my #RPGDNA (since that’s a trending thing right now in RPG circles), but I figured it might be interesting to look a bit deeper into my choices. The meme format is either 4 or 6 titles, but because it’s my blog and I do whatever I want, I’ll go to 8 titles […]
From the Grognardia blog, which takes short looks at old-school RPG products: My love is boxed sets is well known.

To celebrate this, I’m going to share my favourite 1Password trick, which AgileBits incidentally kinda-blogged about not too long […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Twitter and Mastodon:
Good morning!
I’m buying too many 1-page dungeons and system-less idea-prompt pamphlets because they look so pretty and have random tables, even though I’ll most likely never use them, please send help
Filming set for the Spiderwyck TV series… a stone’s throw from the Secret Benedict Society school…
I haven’t found the rulebook yet but here is a sourcebook for In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas, a satirical and irreverent (if not childish) French game of angels and demons. Here are the stats (and some terrible flavour text) for Jesus!
