Finally getting back into the grind of working on my novel. It’s nice to be writing long form again. I’ve focused a lot on poetry lately, which has been fun, but my novel has my heart.

"I can't afford to buy an indie #ttrpg, so I can't play them!"
This is your reminder that almost every single indie designer i know will just send you a copy if you email them and say "hey, I can't afford your game right now but i want to check it out!"

🪑 Guys in Chairs by @superdillin.bsky.social
💍 Eyes on the Prize by Ira Prince
And I want to play more of:
🏨 Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast by

This is a tough one because I've found games that I like returning to.
In 2025, I look forward to trying:
🪄 Ars Magica
📱 Alice is Missing
👑 Rebel Crown
🤘 CBR+PNK
❤️ Heart: The City Beneath
And then reading, designing, prepping and running RuneQuest, Pendragon and D&D retroclones.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

I can't overstate how magical life becomes when you approach friendship in a meaningful, intentional way. When you decide you actually do owe things to each other. When romance is not a prerequisite for depth.
