Buttoning Down The Hatch
Alright, gang’s all here! Welcome to the new place where hopefully I can talk about the things I’m doing at a much more reasonable pace than before.
CHANGE OF PLATFORM
As you’ve already noticed, this is no longer Substack based because guess what? Substack platforms horrible people. And I cannot, in good conscience, continue to support it. So welcome to Buttondown!
NEW RELEASES
Wow, what DIDN’T I release in the time I was away from sending newsletters?? Holy cow! But here are the big important ones for you to know about!
Party Like The World Is Ending: My four part adventure for Apocalypse Keys. It’s about drugs, booze, and the chaos of the party.
Welcome to St. Julian’s rerelease: The amazing, amazing folks at PlusOneEXP rereleased Welcome to St. Julian’s with some wonderful new art and layout. Please go check it out and support BIPOC creatives!
Rolling the Dice: This was a piece I release at CLARKESWORLD (Clarkesworld!!!) about tabletop RPG adaptations of literary works.
Tangled Blessings: Echoes of Lost Electives - You can find my prompts under House Dahlia’s senior years, and it was a real pleasure to work with Cassi on this!
I’ve released other smaller bits and bobs since my last update, which are more easily found on my website. It’s a lot to go through but I am writing more and you should expect more soon ^^
UPCOMING WORK AND CROWDFUNDING
Probably the biggest project of mine I have coming is the physical crowdfund of Hit the Road, Jack with RV Games! Yes!! Jack’s going to hit in BOXES! I am very nervous about this campaign as it’ll be the first campaign of one of my games to be on a big crowdfunder site so please wish me good luck?
Otherwise, here’s a bit of a status update on projects I can tell you about:
We Wander Beneath Radiant Lights: My project for the Bad Moon jam. It looks like it’s going to be a shockingly large game for what it is. A solo game that’s Soul Cemetery meets Labyrinth, with some fun pseudo-Gothic imagery.
Legendary Pro Wrestling: An initial draft version is out with four wrestlers and a few scenarios, but I am scoping out and expanding it in the hopes of getting it to an eventual print run stage!
Game Work: I’ll be writing for Celestial Bodies from Binary Star Games and Weird Little Guys from Brieger Creative among other projects I can’t quite talk about yet. It’s an exciting time!
Articles and Essays: I have four articles that are complete but just waiting for publication, and a couple more that I’m still drafting/editing out for the appropriate places. But expect to see me popping up all over!
COOL SHIT I’VE BEEN INTO RECENTLY
Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (I watched it for the first time last week and was just in awe)
TV Shows: Singles Inferno (More like Sian’s Inferno amirite???), Culinary Class Wars (which made me so stupidly hungry), Apothecary Diaries (in this house we love and support Mao Mao)
Books: The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen vol. 8 (Love this series without question), These Lifeless Things (anthropologically haunting)
Video Games: Honkai Star Rail (just for THE Herta…)
