For anyone experiencing wildfire smoke in their home, I highly recommend building a Corsi-Rosenthal Box. It can filter all the air in your house quickly with one box fan. An allergen rated filter is best, but whatever you can afford will provide at least some relief.

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP?

A screenshot from the Driftless manuscript that reads:

"Timeline

On June 3rd, 1987 at 4:33am, an unknown energy consumed the town of La Crosse, Wisconsin that fundamentally altered the landscape, inanimate objects, and all biological entities in yet unknown ways. We lost contact with anyone within the shimmering oil-slick event horizon. "

Here's what's wild to me. 5 years ago I had never used layout software or knew anything about typography, grids, etc. With the help of my partner, I slowly learned and developed a messy, scrapbook-y layout style. Fast forward to today and my layout was just nominated for an award. Crazy stuff.

Thank you, @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social for the amazingly kind review. ❤️ And thank you for challenging me to make it all those months ago!

Screenshot of the 5 star review left by A Couple of Drake's on Midnight Muscadines that reads:

"Flavorful and dear, it flirts with the meanspirited roots of the OSR, but always feels like it's on your side. There's a wealth of creativity on display here, both from the game itself and an invitation extended to players. Y'all should be proud."

As a daily creative writing exercise, I have been writing columns for the in-world newspaper The Juniper & Thistle. Writing the Upcoming Events column last night made me realize Midnight Muscadines needed some good day names. We now have days of the week! midnightmuscadines.com/posts/calend...

How is everyone's Midnight Muscadines sessions going? What shenanigans are you getting into??

One of my favorite things about birds is the naming of them. Like what do you mean nighthawks are all part of the GOATSUCKER family of birds??? A++ naming.

I'm excited about Driftless, our new zonecore TTRPG! Inspired by Control, Annihilation, & Pacific Drive, and invokes 90s episodic TV game sessions. It'll show off streamlined Muscadines rules for modern settings, & takes place in the Driftless Area in the Midwest. Can't wait to share more!

Galen's mechs are top-notch! Here's another mech he did for an unannounced game we're working on in a more lofi/battletech style. 🎣
