Writing on my young adult dark academia cosmic horror novel is underway, and my main character is about to discover being the ‘chosen one’ isn’t quite the gift they thought it was…

Designing cards for my rock band deckbuilding ttrpg ... as well as 'standard' ones like verse, chorus, bridge and intro, I have now added 'pyrotechnics', 'synchronised dance routine' and 'costume change'

Just had a very successful playtest of my tongue-in-cheek battling bands ttrpg … the amps most definitely went up to 11

Finished the first chapter of my new novel.

I am now apologising to my protagonist for what I am about to put them through…

Spending the evening plotting a cosmic horror YA dark academia romantasy novel, because hey, why only pick *one* genre ...

The mission structure for my music-based ttrpg follows the classic investigate -> deduce -> confront -> rock-out-by-playing-a-stupendous-gig formula …

I have a job interview with a digital agency today who do all sorts of trendy hip extracurricular events for their staff. I am considering telling them I am a ttrpg GM who revels in the emotional trauma and despair of my players as a way to secure the post.

Designing combo abilities like Ethereal Harmonies, Power Chord and Synchronised Dance Segment for my music-based ttrpg, to offset the Tabloid Scandal, Reality TV Meltdown and Ill-Advised Social Media Post random events
