Back to the Dungeon - New Stuff To Talk About!

I’m back.

It’s been a little over two years since I last posted here. In that time I tried out a few other platforms, kicked the tires, learned what worked and what didn’t. After all that, I’ve landed back on Blogger. It turns out this is still the best fit for how and why I write.

Over the next little while, I’ll be harvesting some of the strongest pieces from my Substack and reposting them here, alongside new work written specifically for this space.

A lot of what you’ll see right now centers on Beneath Ahknoor, my in-progress, OSR-feeling, Carved from Brindlewood–adjacent megadungeon game. I’ve already posted the game’s “North Star” in my writing space, but it bears repeating here:

Adventuring grants power at the cost of self.

The dungeon is a corrupting force. It offers short-term advantage in exchange for lasting loss. Players are responsible for recognizing, shaping, and telling the tragedy of their characters against the backdrop of a great adventure.

Beneath Ahknoor is a dark fantasy game about exploration, transformation, and the price of going deeper.

I’ll also be writing about other projects in progress, including It’s Worse Than That, along with some other Carved from Brindlewood and old-school work that isn’t quite ready to step into the light yet.

If you’re still here, or if you’re just finding this place for the first time, I’m glad to have you. There’s good stuff in the pipeline.
