It is now up to the fates whether or not I get into the masters program. It's out of my hands. The next six weeks will be hellish waiting.

The graduate admission test had an essay portion where I had to agree or disagree with a statement. The statement was "neutrality reinforces the status quo and allows oppression to happen" I FOUND MY CALLING

The song of the Rusałka is ready to echo around the world. The Italian edition paved the way, and the international edition launches on BackerKit starting October 5! Nick Wedig's tragic fairytale RPG about wishes gone wrong will enthrall you with dark, dramatic, card-based play, with no prep or GM.

Curie nervously tries to ask a question at the local townhall

A calico cat seated on a small wooden platform raises her paw, but looks somehow uncertain while doing it. The chin of a young black cat is barely visible at the edge, and is looking up at the calico.

Some cyberpunk style graphics and small animations I created for IONLANDS’s new game Nivalis Nights.

I've submitted all required documents for graduate school application. I'm nervous I'm missing something important, and I don't have time to fix things. Graduate admission exam next Saturday, too. Wish me luck.

nothing like being humbled at seeing your undergraduate grades lol

I knew making a huge-ass slide would pay off

Want to read some Vaults of Vaarn 2E and aren't a patron or backer? I've released a public playtest draft of the player-facing rules, over 90 pages of material vaultsofvaarn.com/2026/10/02/v...

The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on.

My partner is trying to get me to play Trench Crusade, a wargame with minis, but can I just say the reason I'm drawn into it is because of that delicious LAYOUT pictured: screenshots of the book interior

@momatoes.comOct 3, 2026, 2:33 AM

Aaaa that layout is so good!

Unfortunately they don't have the setup for it! I am thinking whether I should record or stream it, but I'm genuinely worried that it's too basic haha

The deck for my talk on Failure in RPGs is now at 77 slides! I reckon for the indie RPG crowd, 80% of this will be basic knowledge. I'm anticipating my audience to be beginner or D&D-centric RPG players, so I've adjusted the topic accordingly. We will see on Saturday whether I succeed!
