While mentally I been feeling not so great lately, reading Interstitial 2e abilities gave me a good laugh. Every small time tabletop game should have this.

This Oct, as a breast cancer survivor in treatment since 2021, I'm doing a thread on stuff I wish I'd been told.

I'll update as I go, but the first thing I'll share is every person's body & treatment is different. Some fear symptoms or side effects they might never get. Don't be afraid to fight 1/3

The games programme I was teaching at is winding down so I won’t have any more teaching work. After September I’ll have a lot more time free so if anyone’s got leads on cool game projects, I’m available!

It's a cold world out there. The kind of place that's real easy to lose someone in. A client, a lover, yourself...

This town ain't easy to survive in. Or leave.

Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.

When you commission art from a proper artist and they just hit the vibe so hard.
Thanks @joieyong.bsky.social for this great portrait for our upcoming print release of Embers.

Painting of a blonde-haired woman reading a book by a fire while a cute dog sits at her feet. The drawing represents progression. It's an exert from the upcoming Embers of Humanity print edition.
