About

I write immersive fantasy, design tabletop RPGs, and collect obscure nerd things. Below are a few areas I focus on.

Writing

I craft character-driven fantasy with an emphasis on atmosphere, moral ambiguity, and slow-burn mysteries. Short stories, novel excerpts, and worldbuilding notes live across the site.

TTRPG Design

I design tabletop scenarios and systems that prioritize story consequences over crunchy optimization. Expect playable ideas, NPCs, and modular encounters.

Random Nerd Stuff

Music recommendations, curiosities about myth and folklore, TTRPG tangents, and the occasional rant about dice and coffee.
