Definitely looking for more TTRPG work in the coming months. I have a strong grasp on character and story structure, and I pride myself in blending narrative and mechanics in my design. I execute notes extremely well (and without ego), and I work FAST. Portfolio linked below!

This movie is a banger. Fruit Chan is my favorite Hong Kong director. If you sopped up The Substance you’ll gobble up Dumplings.

Probably my favorite Bai Ling performance too.

Got ‘em!

It was (and has continued to be) a wonderful ride. Thanks @hellomcdm.bsky.social, @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social, and @thewillyboo.bsky.social for keeping me employed these last couple years.

Wonderful collaborators all, it’s so good to finally be able to hold this book.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

Hopefully everyone in CA already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t - there’s a special election happening right now. It’s REALLY important that you vote, and it’s REALLY important that you vote YES on Prop 50.

In my life-time, I've watched the "American Dream" that my grandparents had, of a 2-parent family in a house they own in a robust community with decent schools and engaging civic life, with one good-paying job one spouse can retire from at 65, become an absolute castle-in-the-sky for most people.

I guess I’m headed back to Ivalice.

It’s this exact vibe that keeps me from
wanting to go back to games that use initiative.

Had a chance to play Daggerheart's quickstart yesterday, and it was super interesting. The way the combat round had been discarded and replaced by a freeform method where the order of action was determined on the fly was fun and intuitive.

Fun Fact: The writer of the Spaceballs sequel playtested the very first adventure I wrote. I vaguely recall he was a goblin barbarian with a New Zealand accent.

Dan Hernandez @cubanmissiledh.bsky.social · 14d

SPACEBALLS THE TABLE READ! It’s hard to believe we’re making another Spaceballs. It’s harder to believe Mel Brooks picked us to write it. So grateful to be working with this amazing cast and crew. This is beyond my wildest dreams. It probably goes without saying, but MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOU!
