Virgil Finlay’s “Space Patrol”

Welcome to my blog!

Since 2004 I’ve used this site to host ideas and game mechanics related to tabletop role-playing games, works of short (or not so short) fiction, and on occasion small software projects. Most of the older stuff has been added back to this site, but a few items (notably incomplete software projects) are still inaccessible.

The blog proper contains off-the-cuff ideas and short-short fiction, while the menu above contains distinct sections with more substantial content.

Technical note: This blog is implemented as static pages, generated from Markdown source using Hugo. Templates are based on the XMIN theme by Yihui Xie.
