I got my copy of Rosewood Abbey, a #TTRPG based on The Name Of The Rose and Cadfael! Here’s a quick look!
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:

There haven’t been any blog posts about some of my open-source projects in a while and the reason for this is two-fold. First, I’ve been lazy about that side of my hobbies while I’ve been re-allocating my free time to writing and illustrating roleplaying game books. Second, I’ve actually discontinued a couple of my main […]
My friends over at the Titterpigs podcast did a recent episode on “played vs unplayed reviews”, and in a sort of interesting synchronicity, the Modern Mythos podcast just released an episode on actual plays. It’s interesting because I see all three types of content as being on the same scale of “game prep”. Let me […]
Every wondered how to play Delta Green without playing as one of those “problematic” US Law Enforcement agencies? Here is some advice for you! #TTRPG #DeltaGreen
Travis Miller wrote this interesting article on his Grumpy Wizard blog about “genre emulation” in TTRPGs. He basically argues that games don’t “emulate” a genre as much as they are part of that genre: To “emulate” is to imitate, simulate, or copy a thing without being the thing itself.

Nice: in Scotland, there’s an Airbnb above a book store that lets you help run it during your stay.
“The Internet Archive just lost its appeal over ebook lending”: your reminder that big book publishers are just as greedy as any other big corporation.
I remember when Steve Jobs pushed for DRM-free music and helped make it happen. Nobody of that stature is left to do that with books, movies, or TV series.
If I was to switch away from Firefox, I would have done that because of Mozilla’s past blunders, like buying an ad tech company or dealing with Facebook, not this new one about adding AI chatbots in their browser. Still, this isn’t a good trend for Mozilla… it makes me even more sad because one of my friends worked on that new feature 😢
Today in American Apple journalism, Ireland is a country that “supports successful companies”, and not the tax loophole that every worldwide corporation uses to evade paying billions of dollars for their business across Europe and beyond. I’m always impressed by this sort of mental gymnastic of libertarian tech-exceptionalism.
