I'm Andrew, a TTRPG game designer from the Pacific Northwest.
I published Girl by Moonlight last year with @evilhat.bsky.social
I've got a couple new projects underway that I'm excited to share soon.
Appreciate folks following me here (many of whom I recognize from twitter) over the past week.

I got interviewed for this set of articles, and I'm gonna take this as a chance to hop on a soap box about disability, mobility aids, and maintenance. 1/x
Yesterday, The Tyee looked at how the industry is struggling to meet demands for wheelchair maintenance and repairs — a situation that can trap people at home or even in bed while they wait.

Systemic changes are needed from government and industry, experts say. In the meantime, users are turning to DIY.

Reshare: Thomas shares how despite never enjoying a Belonging outside Belonging game before, Harvest became his Game of the Year. It's a combination of its lush prose, rock-solid structure, and bloody folk horror.

With We Contain Solitudes in the bag, I have moved into development and playtesting on a new project.
Here's my first pass at an intro for the game, as a little teaser for anyone interested.

Unsurprisingly, @holloworange.bsky.social became our touchstone for the magical girl themes and tropes we love so much.
Wolfsbane's brooding story arc from "I want to punch everything" to "I want to punch everything, but I've also grown as a character" was expertly done and a delight to watch.
