For fun I do experimental literary projects. One of them is that I've started writing short stories and novels based entirely on playing a campaign of a one-player roleplaying game #1pRPG . I'm currently doing research for playing a campaign of #ThousandYearOldVampire this winter, but for now you can read my first story of a proposed ten linked ones in the fantasy game #Ironsworn, online as a GDoc. I gab about this subject a lot at Mastodon!

If I ever get rich enough to build a home for myself from scratch, I will absolutely put murder holes in the foyer's ceiling
I've already written my first #1pRPG storytelling experiment, the first chapter of a coming novel all based on campaigns I did in the one-player roleplaying game #Ironsworn. Wanna read it on my Google Drive? Here you go! Feedback strongly desired!

I haven't talked about it for a bit, but my "Wikicloud" Medieval Germany vampire novel research project being recorded as a visual #mindmap in #Obsdian is going well. I'm about to play the #1pRPG #ThousandYearOldVampire, but the first third is set among the clergy of 1200s Black Forest Germany, so I'm starting by reading several hundred Wikipedia pages on related subjects as research for knowing what to eventually write about. If you're seeing the URL here, that's a page still to be read.
I've just published my new TTRPG, made for the one-page RPG JAM 2024.
The First Men in the Moon: The Mini-RPG is a steampunk, rules-lite TTRPG, set after the events of the book. The goal of the players is to build their own Cavorite-powered space capsule and embark on an expedition to the moon.

Update on my "Wikicloud" Medieval Germany vampire novel research #mindmap! I'm finally done reading and notating the "Middle Ages" Wikipedia page, and it produced a treasure trove of pages to read and notate next. Click through for more nerdy details on how this reflects my particular novel (about a priest who's turned into a vampire and suffers a spiritual crisis for a millennium), and keeping myself open for the random turns of a #1pRPG one-player roleplaying game (#ThousandYearOldVampire).
Big news! I'm building a "Wikicloud" #mindmap again of a very large subject I need to study right now! Namely, Germany in the second half of the Medieval period (1000-1500 AD), in preparation for finally playing the one-player roleplaying #1pRPG #ThousandYearOldVampire. Using the popular Obsidian, I made a card for the Wikipedia page covering the Middle Ages (center of map), then popped in a new card every time I came across a link on that page that looked interesting, for reading later.

New RPG day! Just unboxed Miru, a god-hunting solo game, and Tiny Library, a deck of micro-RPGs.
Miru will be my first foray into solo journaling RPGs. I also have The Magus, which I got via some bundle, but I feel like trying out Miru first.
