I am an official Stretch Goal for Big Bad Con 2024! I'll be there, running Abyssal! And a game that legally is not a Scooby-Doo RPG but is, in all other senses, a Scooby-Doo RPG. That I have until October to write. It's sort of a "monsters and masking" theme I'm coming in with. Join me!

Big Bad Con 2024www.backerkit.com A tabletop gaming convention focused on indie and small press games. Big Bad Con is built on the community standards of respect, support, and kindness.

So I'm trying this new thing where if my brain gets tunnel-visioned on some new idea, I work on it instead of punishing myself for not writing the thing I'm SUPPOSED to (which inevitably results in me doing nothing instead).
