Definitely looking for more TTRPG work in the coming months. I have a strong grasp on character and story structure, and I pride myself in blending narrative and mechanics in my design. I execute notes extremely well (and without ego), and I work FAST. Portfolio linked below!

Oooooo I talked to Rascal about #iHunt and punk rock and film and stuff you should check it out.

Rascal News @rascal.news · 13h

"We’re out here doing the Black Flag and NOFX and Bad Religion of roleplaying games."

@machineiv.bsky.social and the crew behind an #iHunt short film have big aspirations for the scrappy, satirical tabletop RPG all about a monster hunting gig economy.

Watching previously rational and level-headed artists/writers succumb to the stolen siren song of Sora like

a man wearing sunglasses is smoking a cigarette in front of a shoe display

Alt: Ryan Gosling in 'Crazy, Stupid, Love'. He's wearing a nice suit and sunglasses inside a shoe shop. He's looking in disgust at someone. Shelves of shoes are behind him.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

@ozzy-mo.bsky.social Thank you for giving my boyfriend the chance to redeem himself after he nearly dropped Basic Bitch.

Carlos Cisco @carloscisco.bsky.social · 2d

I've been lucky enough to see shows with legendary queens like Latrice Royale, Alyssa Edwards, and Morgan McMichaels...

And yet... Bad Drag Race at Dynasty Typewriter might be the very best drag show I've ever gone to.

I'm already buying tickets for next month's finale.

To make it personal you’d actually have to think about these mouth breathers.

Wil Wheaton put out a YouTube video where he said, “everyone who works on Star Trek today, all of the writers, all of the department heads, everyone who designs all of the things you see, and 70% of the actors ... [is] a lifelong Star Trek fan” and it’s breaking the brains of all the bad fanboys

Make sure this goal is funded so I can say I wrote on the same game as the incredible @helloalexroberts.bsky.social!

Alex Roberts @helloalexroberts.bsky.social · 4d

The KS for the SHIFT RPG is going so strong it was funded before I realized it was happening??

BUT they still haven't unlocked my romance-themed setting... and you're gonna want that imo

This movie is a banger. Fruit Chan is my favorite Hong Kong director. If you sopped up The Substance you’ll gobble up Dumplings.

Probably my favorite Bai Ling performance too.

It was (and has continued to be) a wonderful ride. Thanks @hellomcdm.bsky.social, @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social, and @thewillyboo.bsky.social for keeping me employed these last couple years.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

Hopefully everyone in CA already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t - there’s a special election happening right now. It’s REALLY important that you vote, and it’s REALLY important that you vote YES on Prop 50.
