Some BIG NEWS from me!

I wrapped up my day job this week to become a full time game writer.

I'll be freelancing for Chaosium amongst other clients. Definitely open to collaborating on cool projects - I'd love to work on some indie games too.

In any case, be prepared for more chaos in 2026... 😸

May the odds be ever in your favor!

(Also people keep confusing my Effie Trinket cosplay for Christmas garb...)

Behind the scenes shooting for Credo today! Great to see this game in print

Going live soon with my very dumb playthrough of The Outer Worlds 2!

Come for the laffs, stay for the scathing satire of space capitalism!

My desire to matchy matchy all my books was strong, so now I have three signed doorstoppers of The Will of the Many and The Strength of the Few, which will now need their own allocated bookshelf.

Doing a dumb playthrough of The Outer Worlds 2 was a very, very good idea. 🤣

Had a brilliant time at the ACMI Silksong party dressed as a circa 2000s high fashion Hornet. 🪡

Have a fabulous Halloween folks. 🎃

If you're in Melbourne, I'm running The Hammersmith Haunting as part of a spooky event at Elder Gods & Dragons in Carlton on Saturday 1 November.

Come along for the gaslight vibes and maybe some insanity along the way...

Had an absolutely brilliant time at PAX doing absolutely nothing except for wandering around and seeing friends and cosplayers.

Headlice is my favourite game of PAX so far.

Absolutely madcap parasitic adventures, but they got the mechanics just right. Hilarious.

PAX I am here!

I'm not doing panels or content creation this year, just chilling and catching up with friends. If you see me, feel free to say hi.

Also I really need to share my outfit from last night's ARPIAs cause they said gala and I answered. 💁‍♀️

Genuinely shocked and amazed to have won the award for Best Scenario for Resort at the Australian Industry Roleplaying Awards.

I am truly grateful to all the playtesters, my friend @johnnylogmar.bsky.social, the fine folks @chaosium.bsky.social and the TTRPG community for their support. 🙏

Can't believe this seriously good op shop find of the Galadriel goblet by Royal Selangor. Straight to the Gondor room.

I've been streaming The Drifter this week and I'm loving it, the viewers are loving it, and I reckon it's a bloody ripper @dave.powerhoof.com

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

Bye bye husband...

Happy Silksong day to all who celebrate! 🪡

I am so glad I'm not the first person to think of this in Tainted Grail. Laughed so hard when I got a trophy for turning someone into cheese.

Also you can cast cheese magic, that is all. 🧀

About to go live with some Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.

Wearing my chain mail jumper like any good Arthurian girlie. 👸

Come say hi on Twitch and YouTube.

Very pleased to see the live play of The Hammersmith Haunting nominated for an ENNIE!

Thanks to @davidwaldron.bsky.social and the team from Tales from Rat City for bringing it to life!

Chaosium Con Australia was an absolute blast.

I ran my game Resort (hijinks ensued), signed books, met some wonderful women in ttrpgs, and played a bunch of Cthulhu and Pendragon. 🐙 #callofcthulhu
