Introduction

I go by Drew.

I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, ocd and severe depression.

I have written several novellas: death lesson, lantern soul, and most recently, eternal eclipse.

And written and recorded over a thousand songs most out there on different sites.

I paint and draw also.

I have empathy for those who are depressed, despairing, or pessimistic, because I've gone through it myself.

But you're not going to change my current outlook by debating me. Nothing you have to say about suffering is new to me. I'm well aware. My joy is not ignorance, but a choice of perspective.

a collection of micro zine I am working on set in my universe though the project has spiraled out of control being nearly three hundred pages right now

#bookcover #rpg #ttrpg #grimdark #gothic #skirmishgame

a poem written on the book cover

Alone my hand drifts through the lake of stars...

As memories pass through the passage shared.

where the old feelings fall like aging scars.

On memories of contrast and despair.

It is the dragon of the Milky Way...

Robed in a green and orange leather coat.

With a black fur proud like a lion's mane,

as a cutlass is to a dragon's throat.

"it is the prayer of my pilgrimage

That we should remember where we depart.

The purity within a sacrament

that the blade of the word will remain sharp."

From where the dead are to dance in the light...

that this death may return and be alive!

Probably way to early to share this but though of making a expanded version of Esper troopers that is more like a fighting game than a traditional skirmish game... but more like a skirmish game then any thing else that is tabletop.

Hey, friends.

Please remember that feeling bad does not actually make you a better person or help anyone.

Decouple action from emotion. Do what you can to help while feeling as good as you can.

People to object to you *feeling* happy, regardless of your actions, are being pointlessly cruel.
