A little behind in my Inktober drawings this year - super busy with the final playtests and editing of Last Call in Arkham (on track to be available this December!) Here's a little critter though for my prompt of "Track"!

Inktober is one of my favorite times of the year. I usually make my own prompts list (I like my lists spooky and strange) and today's was "oily". This became a grimoire-like page for the elusive "Oil Squid" from Indiana. Do you participate in Inktober? What's been your favorite drawing so far?

Radio for No One: A Review of Void 1680AM
I love a good playlist. Much like Rob from High Fidelity, I believe there are rules to making one. For me, it starts with a banger — something that hooks the listener right away and says, “Buddy, you’...

If you’re into solo RPGs and haven’t found Man Alone, check out his YouTube channel. He reviews a wide range of games (and even published one recently), and I value his perspective. Our play styles are different, which make his reviews push me to see the hobby in new ways.

Hidden Brain is one of my favorite places for meta-story inspiration. This week’s episode on negative feedback reminded me how stories give us emotional distance. Solo RPGs can do this too, letting you explore clashing motives objectively. Listen here:

It's Not My Fault! - Hidden Brain Media
It's not easy for most of us to receive negative feedback. We'll explore what causes so many of us to resist constructive criticism, and how we can get better at giving and receiving such feedback.

This is both a confession and an invitation. Some people keep journals, some people tell stories at the table.  I happen to do both at once, and that’s why I love solo RPGs. They’re small, personal st...

Arkham, 1935. The theater kids staged The King in Yellow. Now reality’s cracking, but hey, there’s an afterparty. "Last Call in Arkham" is a solo RPG of cursed pubcrawls, eldritch encounters, and and cocktails that might just keep you sane. Coming Fall 2025.
