Bearded man standing up from prone.

Born and raised in Beatosu, Ohio, Frank Dixon grew up watching reruns of Force III and studying Yubiwaza at the local dojo. He studied criminal justice, but instead of police work, he ended up doing private security for Contoso Ltd. before being recruited by the American House.
Frank spent decades immersed in his job on the Strip, deep cover work that required severing himself from his past. Until one day, he received an anonymous letter informing him of the death of his mother. Breaking protocol, Frank figured he’d given his life to the American House. They owed him a trip to his mother’s funeral. Frank set out for Beatosu,
but Beatosu didn’t exist.
The hometown filled with so many favorable memories was a paper town, a geographical work of fiction a publisher placed on a map to make it unique and easier for the publisher to find pirated copies.
Beatosu wasn’t Frank’s only fictional memory. The TV show Force III never aired.
Yubiwaza, the martial art he’d studied, applied, and taught, wasn’t from Japan. It was made up to sell fighting instruction manuals from ads on the back of comic books. Contoso is a fiction company created by a technical writer at Microsoft to use as examples for its training manuals.
His whole life was a phantomnation, nothing before his time on the Strip ever existed.
Infuriated, he stormed back to his dealer, demanding answers. For his decades of loyal service, they owed him that much. But instead all it got Frank was burned.
Frank caught wind of Andree’s pending Burn Notice before the fateful letter sent him on his course of self-discovery. Of course, he has no idea who sent that letter, but they’d better have some answers when he finds them.

Post-Comic Con stack 2026. Under $600 spent. In past years, I've definitely waked away for less comics having spent more money. The board game, Dark Heists, is probably moving swinging those numbers this time. #SDCC #ComicCon2026 #WhenAmIGoingToReadAllThisStuff

I'm hoping Outgunned Superheroes will be my new goto superhero game. I haven't had one since Champions. I miss those days, but not enough to run it again.

The booties we had to wear. I like to think this is to protect the carpet from thousands of footsteps, and not to contain the unbelievers.

Checking out the San Diego Mormon Temple. It's just been renovated, so they're letting nonbelievers take a tour. No pictures of the inside. As a former Catholic, a place of worship doesn't feel right without incense.

My story went from 360 to a form rejection letter overnight. They probably just flushed everything in the queue. Well, back at it I guess...

Had a successful playtest of "Traces to Nowhere" this third adventure for ESPionage. This one replicates the Brindlewood Bay mystery mechanic using Fate's Overcome. They didn’t solve the mystery, but they had fun getting sidetracked and joined a militia. #FateRPG #TTRPG

My wife made a lemon pound cake. Every time I pass by it, I do a double take.

"Lemon Pound Cake"

The Adams County Sheriff kicked on my door
Then I heard the glass break
They found no kidnapping victims
Just some Lemon Pound Cake

Mamma's Lemon Pound Cake
It tastes so nice
It made the Sheriff wanna put down his gun
And cut him a slice

(Of what? Of what?)

He's a Adams County Sheriff
He's hungry and he's big as hell (hmmm)
He was sniffing for weed
Then he smelled another smell (what was that?)

There are some words I will never learn how to spell correctly. So I set up Espanso to automatically fix them as I type: espanso.org

I'd just commissioned this art for the third ESPionage adventure, MindGuard, when I had an epiphany to wrap the existing material with a Twin Peaks style investigation, pushing the titular militia off the cover. It least I can use it as interior art. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #FateRPG

Done ricing my desktop...for now. Next, I gotta figure out what I'm going to do with that Stream Deck. #CachyOS #Linux #Ricing

Oh-sorry.

Snow storms covering the East coast are all over the news. Not one about how it hit 90° here in San Diego. I broke out in a light sweat!
