On July 4, 2023- I sent an anxious text to @drkowert.bsky.social asking if she’d let me edit a book about my all time favorite video game series.

Today, I’m so happy to share that The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Elder Scrolls has been released! 🎉

I have it under good authority, @drkowert.bsky.social, we’re prepping for the release of The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Elder Scrolls. As a treat- here’s the breakdown of my authors by faction.

In case you’re wondering who pushed the Dark Brotherhood into the majority…do you need to ask? 💅🏻😈

Went to see #WitcherinConcert tonight and it was so good. Chills throughout many iconic songs (and maybe a few tears during The Slopes of the Blessure).

My only bummed moment was not enough Regis in the Blood and Wine section.

As said to me- “Detlaff was the plot device. Regis was the plot.”

A brief interlude of the bad news to wish you all a Schöner Herbstanfang!

Of course, this means it's time for my Herbstanfang tradition of stuffing my emotional support skeleton, Karl, into an outfit and placing him juuuuust in view of my camera.

Wait. Hold up. I was mentioned in THE Dr. Rachel Kowert’s newsletter. Gosh. What an amazing August 🤩
You definitely need to subscribe and stay on top of the brain science and games news.

If you happened to miss the signing by @drkowert.bsky.social at #seriousplay25, a few of the authors, including me, signed a bunch of Psychgeist copies. You should grab them before they’re gone. 👀

Serious Play is around the corner and I'm excited to share that I will be giving my dream talk at this year's event. I'll be covering the use of video games with different therapeutic modalities and how the course of treatment can look using games as a narrative base for processing and exploration.

I love when friends make cool things… I also love making friends because their cool things led me to them. I got Malediction in the mail and I can’t wait to get into it. You bet @danpettersen.bsky.social is going to be subjected to all of my thoughts. 👀

Another day. Another year around the sun. I guess this is 33.

Another PAX, another weekend of spending time with some of my favorite humans on the planet. From meeting fellow authors to meals with old friends, PAX has me coming back for the connections I continue to make. Thanks for a great #paxeast!

Hey #Destiny2 fans! Did you know that there’s an awesome panel about Destiny happening at #PAXEast today? At 3.30pm EDT/12.30pm PDT, the Psychology of Destiny will be in albatross theatre and streamed at twitch.tv/pax!
I’ll be covering my chapter on Season of the Haunted.

A new panel appeared~
Now this is my final official #PAXEast schedule! A last minute panel was added on Saturday.
I’ll be coming in tomorrow afternoon right before the Destiny panel. I can’t wait to see everyone!

Excited to share my official #paxeast schedule! 🎉

Oops. The fantasy RPG person finally got into another fantasy RPG.

Consider this a warning that my personality is about to change.

A bit ago @dndbeyond.com sent me the last book in their D&D trifecta. Now that I’ve had some time to check them out, I have to say that D&D team did an amazing job with the new editions. The alt cover trifecta has been displayed on my bookshelf since I received the Monster Manual. 🖤

Looks like Flashes is up and running. First post specifically for this feels like it should be a giant wooden phoenix burning.

I’ve been reflecting on how lucky I am to have this community of folks that combine their personal and professional interests with gaming.

Tonight, a few of the writers for the Psychgeist of Destiny book got together and raided for the first time.

One of my recent projects was released today! 🎉 #Destiny fans, I hope you enjoy a fun little jump into The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: Destiny.
I wrote about Season of the Haunted… because of course I did.

Things aren’t great right now. I suggest getting friends that pull you into playing Phasmophobia in the middle of a work day.
Highly recommend. 10/10.

Ah yes. We’re entering the “losing my breath when the wind picks up” type of cold. This is Fahrenheit, by the way.

13. Just Crow Things

Y’all I can’t describe how absolutely amazing this game is. Between the Easter eggs, puzzles, humor and cute… literal perfection.
