Freelance Tabletop Roleplaying Game Developer he/him, in case you want to talk about me in the third person This was supposed to be a temporary place for my bibliography:

"To Arms!" (2009); a ten-minute student documentary about a medieval reenactment tournament. (When you're flicking though DVDs and inexplicably find one with pictures of your friends, you have to grab it.)
