Danger in the Desert Part 1 – Arches
Warmachine is a tabletop wargame that I’ve had my eye on for almost 20 years. I purchased some of the rulebooks and pored over them, thinking that maybe some day, I’d dive in and get some models,...

Authenticity and Artifice
AI Art was all the buzz a couple of weeks ago. That chatter has died off somewhat, perhaps as people got tired of the shiny new toys like Midjourney and Dall-E 2, but it’s a Thing that will only get...

OCD Mondrian Cube
The Rubik’s Cube was a Big Deal for a while when I was young. Nobody I knew understood how to solve it, but we liked trying, at least, until we got tired of failing. I think I managed to get the top...

Inktober 2021, The Scarbots, Week One

I’ve been meaning to recycle this article for a while, and I had a few minutes to work on it lately. It’s more or less a copy/paste of an art tutorial I wrote up for the player forums for YoHoHo...

Final Fantasy XII: The Movie (Sort of)
Going through Final Fantasy XII again via this spiffy video reminded me how much I really love the worldbuilding and look of Ivalice. It’s a world that spans multiple games as well, in different RPG...

Gnomish Hunters and Fish Tanks
In a shocking, earth-rattling decision, Blizzard has finally allowed Gnomes to be Hunters. Maybe. Possibly. Probably. At least, this screenshot swiped from Twitter seems to indicate as much: I...

Operation: Backlog – Ruin, Wreckage and Apocalypse
It’s been a while since I actually had enough time to play anything on my Steam backlog. I still haven’t since last time I posted about this project, but I have been playing a few smartphone games and...

Pantheon Wars: The Fall of Ra
Once upon a time, I designed a small “area control” tile-capture game for a game development exercise. I called it Alpha Hex, a simple, abstract name for a simple, abstract game. It has evolved over...

Steampunks and Scrapbooks
I’ve been looking for full time work since this Tinker business I’ve been experimenting with just isn’t paying the bills. I applied to a graphic designer position with a scrapbooking company, and was...
