I'm Andrew, a TTRPG game designer from the Pacific Northwest.

I published Girl by Moonlight last year with @evilhat.bsky.social

I've got a couple new projects underway that I'm excited to share soon.

Appreciate folks following me here (many of whom I recognize from twitter) over the past week.

Palestinians call on everyone to sign the Boycott Xbox pledge today. Viable gaming alternatives exist. Genocide is not a game.

Go to nogamesforgenocide.com to sign the pledge and for more details on how to take action.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Harvest is a "beautiful cursed woodcut of a game" and Rascal writer Thomas Manuel's game of the year. GMless diceless period folk horror, it revolves around a golden paradise off Britain's coast preserved by generational ritual sacrifice, and which you'll choose: die for the island, or kill for it.

My latest is We Contain Solitudes.
It's a duet game about troubled souls stuck in a time loop that plays out in prose and soliloquy.

I got interviewed for this set of articles, and I'm gonna take this as a chance to hop on a soap box about disability, mobility aids, and maintenance. 1/x
Yesterday, The Tyee looked at how the industry is struggling to meet demands for wheelchair maintenance and repairs — a situation that can trap people at home or even in bed while they wait.

In part two today, we look at solutions. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. 🦽 #bcpoli

"You don’t spend the game wondering whether you’re a good person. You instead wonder if you are ready to kill for the island or die for it — whether it’ll be your friend, lover, or father who will hold the knife and whether they’ll smile as they do it."

Reshare: Thomas shares how despite never enjoying a Belonging outside Belonging game before, Harvest became his Game of the Year. It's a combination of its lush prose, rock-solid structure, and bloody folk horror.

With We Contain Solitudes in the bag, I have moved into development and playtesting on a new project.
Here's my first pass at an intro for the game, as a little teaser for anyone interested.

Excuse me as I bury myself into a hole while I process all the absolute joy working on @bloomandblight.bsky.social has been.

If you are looking for a story about a bunch of queer heroes fighting for a brighter tomorrow against an evil AI, we have the most amazing story for you.
Unsurprisingly, @holloworange.bsky.social became our touchstone for the magical girl themes and tropes we love so much.

Wolfsbane's brooding story arc from "I want to punch everything" to "I want to punch everything, but I've also grown as a character" was expertly done and a delight to watch.
