Hello-hello! My name is Matt and this is where I'm hoping to spend my online-time more constructively.
Expect posts predominantly around my experience with TTRPG's (tabletop roleplaying games) and the things that inspire those experiences - videogames, music, genre films, and the-like.
I'm a bartender-turned-information-professional who has recently been subsumed into the world if IT Project Management (*shudder*), but I'll always be an advocate for digital accessibility, literacy, and preservation.
Beyond that, I'm a hobbyist TTRPG writer and "Forever GM" (though I'm pretty stoked about it). You can check out the the few things I've gotten around to publishing, as well as some of the games on my radar, over on my itch.io page!
