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:
If there’s a sure way to get my attention, it’s including some good looking maps in a game. But a sure way to get an instant buy is to include a big-ass cloth map in a game. That’s what Dragonbane did with their original crowdfunding campaign, and so of course I backed it at the […]
Welcome to Open Box, the part of the blog where we look backwards to look forw… wait, no that’s not correct. It’s the part where we open the 2nd edition RuneQuest boxed set, like I said we would in the preamble! Let’s be careful with those corners, lift the lid, and take in the wonderful […]
I started playing RuneQuest with the latest edition, “RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha”, colloquially known as “RQG”. I had fallen in love with the setting via its gigantic, critically acclaimed, system-agnostic “Guide to Glorantha”, so using the official game to bring it to the table felt like the next logical move. RQG looked great at first, […]
Chaos in Glorantha started as the pretty clear-cut mark for the “bad guys”, a tool for gamemasters to scare their players, and for those players to kill some monsters without remorse. But I’m a Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green player at heart, with some early formative years spent on Vampire and Cyberpunk, so I […]
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 […]
Chaosium may have a problem: Glorantha became the very thing that its critics warned us about. It’s mostly just a bunch of lore, now. How did that happen? And what does that mean for my RuneQuest games?
When Brindlewood Bay came out it seemed to become an immediate darling of my TTRPG circles. Being a fan of both the Cthulhu Mythos and TV series like Murder She Wrote, Columbo, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more, I figured that “old ladies investigating murders that lead into cosmic horror” sounded totally like my jam!

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky:
I just spoke with my dad, back in France, where they are undergoing an exceptional bout of heat domes. Well, if you thought that sort of weather would make boomers change their views and vote for climate action, you are very very mistaken. We are fucked.
The egg came first, yes. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had come to this conclusion long ago.
“Gamers Sue Sony For Allegedly Breaking California Digital Purchase Law”: it should be a federal/national law in all countries that nobody can make an e-shop UI that talks about “purchasing” anything unless it gives you freely downloadable, DRM-free files.
“Findlay Steers BC Conservatives Hard Right to Her Party’s Peril”: Uuugh. Her pick for chief of staff is overtly anti-abortion (or at least was in the early 2000s), and she talks about “faith, family, and freedom”. This is the Conservative party at its worst.
