I run games, I write games, and I make weird music. Friendly old polynerd who posts a lot of public domain art. https://soundcloud.com/chimerical-sound-engine https://markfelps.itch.io/ https://rpg-trader.com/creator/97/mark-felps

The great thing about the public domain is you can just grab a picture of a dude with a fez -- someone who really existed a hundred years ago -- and post him on the internet without asking anyone for permission.

A man wearing a Fez and white tie. He looks somewhere between amused and peevish.

I stopped listening to music with guitars for about a decade. As a child of the 70s, I was just done with guitar rock. So I got deeply into House and other EDM. Which caused me to entirely miss TV on the Radio. I am rectifying that mistake now, and it's lovely to find something I like so much.

Making paper Mothership monsters for the Paper Mini Jam. I'll probably stat them out on the page, since that's the easy part. Should probably be getting ready for the Draw Steel game I'm running in an hour.

What I've learned from participating in Jams. 1) It really does help me to have a deadline. 2) That doesn't mean joining six jams that take place over three months is a good idea. 3) A lot of people wanted to write about spaceship dungeons.

Jumping back and forth between reading scholarship on NMH and reading Appendix N adventures, while listening to Horsegirl at volumes probably inappropriate for midnight. I've rated some 25 now. Lots of good stuff. I kind of wish I'd done a depthcrawl.

Listening to Neutral Milk Hotel and imagining a TTRPG based on a NMH cover band, and the existential crisis the lead singer is having while he sings the 8-minute Oh, Comely, wondering what it means to be a copy of a guy who's singing a love song to a dead woman.
