I make aggressively gay games and like to think critically about the form(s) of tabletop roleplaying games. I'm the founder of Knucklebone Magazine.
I'm well known for #SadMechJam (read more) and for coining the phrase "Lyric Game" (see this list).
Most recently, I organized the #FuckingCensorshipBundle and the #SexGamesJam!
