Between the political landscape and my personal situation, it’s very tempting to just type out the word “AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH” 500 times and be done with it. It’s also tempting to just fire up a video game and try to forget about the things that are taking up space in my brain and making me froth at… Continue reading 500 Words on Outrage

500 Words on Job Hunting
One thing I didn’t anticipate when I moved to Seattle was how competitive the job market would be outside of the gaming industry. I knew I’d be in for a fight if I went straight for video gaming’s jugular. It was something I wanted to get into, for sure, but first had to come gainful… Continue reading 500 Words on Job Hunting
500 Words on Going to Seed
This blog has, admittedly, gone to seed a bit. So much of my energy and time has been consumed with two things: finding a job, and getting/keeping my shit together. That second part is a bigger task than I admit to myself sometimes. I’m not neurotypical, not by a long shot, and there are some… Continue reading 500 Words on Going to Seed
The Lessons Within "The Last Jedi"
Be advised: there will be spoilers in this treatise. I can’t discuss what I want to discuss without getting into detail about the plot and the arcs of the film’s characters. Fairly be ye warned. Before I saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I heard about all of the negative takes on it, all of… Continue reading The Lessons Within "The Last Jedi"
Moving On from 2017
So, 2017 is finally behind us. Or, at time of writing, it’s about to be. What a relief, right? The year seemed incredibly long. News and events that occurred around Halloween or Thanksgiving feel like they happened years ago. It was exhausting, seeing the world get yanked unwillingly into a downward spiral perpetuated by a… Continue reading Moving On from 2017
Thirty-Nine
I took some time to overhaul the look of this blog so that it was more centered on Dungeons & Dragons. I had intended, for the most part, on producing only content related to that game here. In the weeks since I made that change, I’ve struggled to generate said content. The explanation may be… Continue reading Thirty-Nine
500 Words on the Adventurer's League
Of late, (almost) every Friday night, I take a long trip from my flat to West Seattle so I can join in the occasionally madcap shenanigans known as the Adventurer’s League. For the uninitiated, the Adventurer’s League is the ‘official’ organization for players and DMs of Dungeons & Dragons, sanctioned by Wizards of the Coast.… Continue reading 500 Words on the Adventurer's League
Gothmatum: A Thin Dark Veil
A journal entry for Gothmatum Baenre. I am aware that, as long as my life can be and as much as I may discover, there are some things I may never understand. For example: necromancers tend to fancy themselves “masters of death”, then give themselves over to curses such as lichdom and vampirism. They lie… Continue reading Gothmatum: A Thin Dark Veil
Adventure Review: Quelling the Horde
“Quelling the Horde” (DDEX03-09) is an Adventurer’s League module set during the Rage of Demons story arc. The story it tells is a classic one: farms and homesteads are getting sacked by goblins, and adventurers are needed to rise to the challenge. This time, some of the goblins seem to fancy themselves as ‘knights’. Calling… Continue reading Adventure Review: Quelling the Horde
