Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, believe it or not. Occasional game dev. SFWA Associate. See website for bylines/portfolio. Yes, this is actually my name.


  • Started a new game as an Esper water merchant, with Beguile and Ego Projection to start.
  • Quickly met a flamethrowing snapjaw. Beguiled him to be my ally. Named him Mr. Burns.
  • Learned how to make some kind of crab yogurt (?) from a town full of sentient vines.
  • Lost Mr. Burns to a cave of significantly less friendly sentient vines.
  • Accidentally granted sentience to a bed, which promptly wandered out of its house, asking everyone in earshot what it was.
  • Befriended a large beetle that kept eating treasure before I could pick it up.

Qud is the best. GotY this year, and every year.
