in addition to publishing my own games, I'm available to work on yours! I would love to edit your game, layout your book, consult on a project, or design solo rules supplements for your game!

you can get an overview of the services I offer and reach out through my portfolio site

themonstrous.me
a yellow envelope with a black and white label that says Curios Albrecht Manor. the envelope is styled to look like an interdepartmental office delivery envelope. the envelope lies on a bed of envelopes, postcards, photos of houses, and letters. a book titled Dwelling, the cover shows a cropped view of a house showing the roof and one window against a night sky. over the cover is a spot shine of ghosts coming out of and surrounding the house. peaking out of the book are a postcard of a keyhole and a bookmark that shows a key. next to the book are purple paper ghosts and post it notes of drawings and writing. an open book with the background of a moody gradient of pink to blue to purple. the left page has white text detailing a game mechanic called frights and the right page include a table of frights. an open page spread of a zine on a purple and blue gradient background and some tarot cards. the left page has a dramatic illustration with angular panels showing an old woman, a pilgrim, a dog, a queen with a snake. the right page is titled the visitors and has a list of visitors corresponding to the major arcana.

I really enjoyed #PaxUnplugged, and the opportunity to chat with several people about the cool projects they've worked on!

Unfortunately, I couldn't get everyone I wanted, so I guess I'll have to go back and make another video. 😞

Feeling lonely? Never be alone again.

Make your perfect companion from the remnants of the dead fill them with vitality, and contend with what you've created.

We Shall Be Monsters is a solo game of creation, obsession, and playing god to assuage your loneliness.

a gothic script elegantly reads we shall be monsters, behind the text is a grainy woodcut image in green, black, and purple of an absolutely shredded man with among beautiful hair and he is nude but his nudity is artfully hidden. a surprised expression on his face as he lies in a pile of bones. this image is from an early edition of mary shelley's frankenstein portraying the monster.

@819Steph.bsky.social just released a new solo journaling RPG video, this time featuring Auspex by @smolghost.bsky.social. This game takes us to a world on the brink of destruction, as the player takes on the role of a diviner guiding the change through their advice. Curious?

i've been chattering abt this in as non-stop a way as someone who is talking about something that hasn't been published yet can possibly chatter & i'm excited to now un-qualify that. bc of who i am & the wrenching ways that this game approaches companionship & creation. personal context attached
two tweets from me in october 2023: rainy october afternoon vibe of going to the cinema screening of bride of frankenstein & being the only person openly weeping. it's just So. clenches fist. the gender. the disability. the necrosis of isolation & the tragedy of its contagion. the traumatised drive to destroy that which is like you but cannot sustain you.

As we approach the 24 hour mark, we're just over £1000 away from our next stretch goal: getting @smolghost.bsky.social to write a caving supplement for the book.

If enough of our project followers back, we'll get there. It's within touching distance.

Hey Canadian friends, let's sign this petition!! It takes less than 2 minutes and is an official thing you can do 💪

For context, Canada's C-2 bill paves the way for the US gov't to access Canada's private civilian data based on "security of the border", and "other security measures". It's bad!
dieselbrain.bsky.social Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Sep 13
Canada's C-2 bill is both a gross overreach of govt surveillance into citizen's privacy, as well as extremely anti-immigrant/racist!

please do not forget to sign this petition alongside the others if you are canadian. This bill is bad news, but we can beat it!
