Greetings broth bards & saucerers, to a new #rollfornoodles, where I let the dice decide my dinner. This week's roll began unadventurous, but greatly improved, even dreaded Wild Magic didn't get in the way of my enjoyment. Why? Join me to find out. #dnd #fantasy #geek #cooking

We've got a 3D printed and hand-painted castle dice tower for #rollfornoodles, which looks amazing. I also suggested making a pagoda one at a later point, because, aren't they just marvellous in fantasy Cdrama? #popculture #game #fantasy #dnd

I'll be at Dragonmeet tomorrow, just as an attendee, but if you've got a game you think I'd be interested in, or want to talk about jiangshi, swordsmen, Chinese gods or what the CNSA do with terraforming, drop me a message!

My #SFF curations get more traction, but I'm primarily a nonfiction author. During #nonfictionnovember, I'm spotlighting this output. Starting with #books. This sociocultural guide to deities was a crazy endeavour of telling the stories of 60, I'm delighted with its wide and lasting impact. 1/

Chinese Myths, a book for those who are new to China's amazing pantheons and supernatural bestiaries, want to find out more or get a broad overview. Also fun to dip into if you want to read about things you've come across in Cdramas, movies and games. #culture 3/

As someone who until his 30s knew nothing of Chinese culture besides Romance of the Three Kingdoms / Dynasty Warriors, I can confirm this book is super helpful.
As more Chinese games, books, movies & TV shows finally reach us, it's rewarding to learn these stories and get the culture behind them :)

Not really sure how I haven't stumbled across this yet but I love it!
I'm travelling back from Turin, but I wanted to welcome you to the 7th episode of #rollfornoodles. Where let the dice decide my dinner. This week's roll shaped up to be one of the tastiest of the series so far, and even tempted out a house recipe. So join me, in a bowl! #dnd

This is the result of a conversation on Instagram after I sent out a request for what kind of wuxia stuff people wanted me to talk about while I'm writing the book. One great question that came up was What is Jianghu? Well, the "Rivers and Lakes" have meant many different things, and all of them!
