I created my first game using Lincoln Logs and Star Wars action figures. My friends liked it, and I soon created more and made a few more games. Looking at my life, I see I have.
With Rogue Games, I publish Colonial Gothic and a few others.

The manuscripts are ready before the Kickstarter launch in May 2026.
They need a little more playtesting and tweaks, but they are in a great state.

So I had my appointment today about the second tumor. It has grown since it was discovered last December. When it was found, it was 1.34 CM. According to the lab results and the doctor, it is now 1.9 cm.

Well, I figured out my Saving Throw ruminations from yesterday. I think it's a nice fix.

One of the things I try to balance is when to adhere to the OSE dogma on certain rule mechanics, or use those mechanics as inspiration to do something new. Saving Throws is the example.

I am back. My health is not 100%, but at least the first tumor has been removed. To celebrate my awesome return, I am writing about tariffs.

Four weeks today, I was still in surgery getting the cancerous tumor removed from my right kidney. My surgery pain is gone, but I’m still dragging my ass. I guess the doctor was right; it will take me a while to get my energy back.

Still here. The surgery has still left me worn out. It is hard to believe my surgery was on March 7.

We tried out the new productivity app Touch Grass, which just came out for iOS. It blocks apps of your choosing and only unblocks them after you take a picture of your hand literally touching grass.
