Penned a comparison between the retro-styled ninja games of 2025, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. Who comes out on top? Also a special shoutout to @kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com for their excellent critique of Shinobi, which I mention here

Draconic Codex is out and I wrote the new lore/stats for the Horned Dragon, so go check it!
I made it so that Horned Dragons shed fragments of their horns and then throw them as projectiles against enemies. I was inspired by Gambit using Kinetic Card in Marvel vs Capcom, thank you very much

I asked my wife what her brain would look like if it were a video game. She surprised me with MANIAC MANSION, of all things, because she'd seen the game's map on social media and thought the multicloured, many-doored rooms were a fun representation of her ADHD 😁
Anyway, this is why I married her

Today I shared the final prototype for the Gallows Corner book cover with our mailing list and Discord.
Now it's your turn, Bluesky!
Black cloth and embossed silver foil for your Peasants' Revolt RPG? And this is the STANDARD VERSION, you say?
Well, why not!

Props to George for writing this and doing so much w/ the numbers behind the scenes. We had a good Dragonmeet, and it'll be interesting to see how the con (and our presence there) evolves in the years to come

Ngl, I wanted to run away with the physical copy of this at Dragonmeet.
Have you dove into the Prerelease yet? Isa did an excellent job on the cover, but the other artists all crushed it, too.

This and GameFAQs guides set the standard. Paint me a pretty picture of those ? blocks with prose
This book is bonkers. It includes prose walkthroughs of every level in the first three Super Mario games (plus Super Mario Land) with no screenshots whatsoever.
Imagine getting to, like, World 7-3 and having to come up with a fresh new way of writing "jump over the pipe."

Look at this rad spread that Joel drew which is sublime enough to headline its own game. Gallows is going to look (and play) very good!
