A while ago, I tried to get myself to start reviewing books on my blog here. That didn’t work out super well, as evidenced by the fact that there’s only one post tagged as “What’s Adam reading?” in the entire archive. A few months ago, I decided to give that whole book review thing another […] Read more
In May 2014 I was in the shower in my college apartment a week or two before graduation, thinking about card games and the books I’d been reading lately. While I was cleaning off I had an idea for the basic mechanics of a card game about fantasy heists with similar themes to the book […] Read more
Things I’ve noticed in a month living in Seattle after having moved here from Vermont for a new job: There are way, way more people who smoke here. In any given day in Seattle I’ll see more smokers than I did in a year in Burlington. The temperature peaks noticeably later in the day. I’m […] Read more
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the table at PAX East last week to try out No Honor Among Thieves! Based on the feedback I got there, I’ve spent the last week tweaking a new version of the print-and-play, which you can now find in the sidebar. Changes made in this version: Added a new […] Read more
I am very seriously excited to announce that me and my new prototype are going to be at the UnPub booth at PAX East next weekend! I’m only going to be there on Saturday, because I want to explore and enjoy the convention on the other two days I’ll be there, but anyone who stops […] Read more

First of all, thanks to everyone who stopped by the Let’s Make Games table at Vermont Comic Con. That was the first time […] Read more
Terry Pratchett is dead. This doesn’t seem real. Pratchett’s books have been there for me for my entire life, and it doesn’t seem possible that no more will be coming. I don’t even remember when I read my first Discworld book. I remember that it was The Color of Magic, and that I was […] Read more
Remember when I said I was going to try posting at least once a week? What I kidder I was. A lot has been happening over the past few weeks, which has led to me having drastically less time to work on my various side projects, such as this blog. For example, I got a […] Read more
I’m out of college, now, and with that fresh release into the world I have found that I still want to make games. I have also found that getting a full-time job is a little more difficult than I had thought. Before graduation, I believed that I’d gotten everything sorted out, that the applications I’d […] Read more
This past quarter, I was enrolled in a creative writing Special Topics class. Specifically, one about writing fantasy. Over the course of the ten-week quarter we wrote 20-25 page short stories based in worlds of our own devising. Did all the workshops, all the critiques, all that. Mine was, I like to think, one of […] Read more
