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:
I love chocolate. I wish more people talked about chocolate the way many talk about beers or coffee. I wish more coffee shops and restaurants and social gatherings offered hot chocolate. I wish there was more good chocolate being consumed by everyone out there! Thankfully, my own home is well stocked, in big part thanks […]
“Metaplot” is often a dirty word around TTRPG players, and I just don’t understand this negative attitude. Here are some ways to deal with them (the metaplots, not the players with a negative attitude), all of which I’ve done to some degree or another except the last option.
Last year my Friday-evening group played a short campaign of Blades in the Dark (BitD), so I figured I’d share some notes about it — mostly the bits that we did wrong or that I didn’t like, with some actionable recommendations that will hopefully improve your experience should you play BitD yourself. We played weekly […]
There’s this preconception in roleplaying circles that game settings are easy to get into if they have a book or movie about them. Middle Earth is “easy to grasp”, people say, because you “just” need to read a couple of (overly long) books, or watch a couple of (overly long) movies. But I was watching […]

I didn’t really agree with Robin’s theory on self-identification as “someone who plays crunchy games”, but I was definitely behind Ken’s take about the option […]
IGN has a very nice article and video about Project Hot Tub, which I worked on a bit as a Frostbite engine developer. I was part of the Frostbite cinematics team but at the time I was mostly working on the camera system (which got used on a couple projects like Anthem and one of […]

Good morning!
VanCAF was great once again! A very diverse bunch of creators & people, and some of my favourite comicbook authors. This year’s haul was pretty good!
I’m not very interested in this Hunger Games prequel but I note two good things: 1. no fucking teaser of the trailer at the beginning, and 2. they nailed the look of “past Panem”, it’s one of the rare prequels that actually looks like it takes place before
By the way, my copy of the Sailor Moon #TTRPG was filled in with Ariel, a 9-and-a-half years old bishojo version of, like, Aquaman or something. Congrats to Vanessa, who even drew her character! I hope you got a chance to play her!
