I write about monsters & myths, sometimes for work. Onyx Path freelancer. I'll geek out about books, movies and RPGs.

I suppose I should introduce myself but barring a couple exceptions my followers around here know me so, well, it's a bit awkward.

This is true, and I'm still so proud we made a magical school RPG in They Came from Witchford Academy! that is openly about all of these, proudly so, and has no single word about HP in it.
We wouldn't have it any other way. It really was a need for the team.
Can't wait for it to finally come out.

Some superior wizard-school series you can easily replace HP with:
🧙 Witch Hat Atelier
🧙 Little Witch Academia
🧙 The Worst Witch
🧙♀️ The Owl House
🧙 Mashle: Magic & Muscles
🧙♀️ Wizard of Earthsea (le Guin)
🧙 The School for Good & Evil (Soman Chainani)

Harry Potter is one of those things where I don’t care how important it was or is to you sentimentally or whatever. I insist you find another fucking thing. There are so many things. Other things. Better things. Literally anything.

Even if this conspiracy theory was true (it's not), if I have said it once, I have said it 100 times: if you would prefer that your child die or be seriously injured by a preventable disease, rather than be like me, you're a fucking monster.

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈
