Educator, writer, game designer. Here to promote my work, connect with others, and share the occasional musing on games, shows, pop culture, and education.

I just started a #TTRPG newsletter. I’ll be writing designer diaries and announcements for my games, what inspires my design and play styles, and reviews of indie/small press games. Mostly, it’s something to connect with and support players and designers.
