Hello World!

This is where I’ll be doing my updates for a variety of projects, and it’ll serve as a good way to get in touch with what I’m working on when one project or another doesn’t update for a while.

Right now I’m working on three things that will be important in the long run in the scheme of my projects:

  • Orchestra on StoryNexus
  • 1-800 Regime Change, a tabletop game
  • An unnamed Orchestra short story/miniature novella

I’ll be posting updates here as things go along.
