Smaller release this time, but I wanted to put something out for Bandcamp Friday. A handful of tracks I've made for a few different projects this summer!

Check out this amazing (and free) new tabletop game!
After many years of testing, edits, art, and layout, FATHOM - the surreal TTRPG of drifters exploring the depths of the urban UnReal by @matthewguz.bsky.social and me - is finally finished.

Thank you all for your patience, and unfortunately we’re going to have to ask for a little more.

The show will be going on hiatus for at least a little while - as soon as we have more information to share, we will let you know. In the meantime please enjoy the end of this arc! It’s a banger

This looks very cool!
Do you like Jane Austen? Or maybe you're a fan of Susanna Clarke's Piranesi? Are you into surrealist fantasy of manners, infinite houses and god like beings that deal in the arts? Boy, do I have the perfect ttrpg for you, may I present PALLAS!

I do not want to live out of spite for those that hate me. I want to live and *thrive*. I deserve more than an angry, sad life of just trying to get by. I deserve a life full of joy, safety, and excitement. & so do all of us who find our very existence threatened under the current hegemony.
