Today in shameless self-promotion, I’ve just released my latest non-gaming book through Brainfart Press. It’s called Dispatches From The MGT: Curious Signs from the American Workplace and you can get your copy from CreateSpace or Amazon. My previous Brainfart books, Obscure Early Bluesmen (Who Never Existed) (Kindle edition also available) and The Callipygian Grimoire: A Discordian Activity &…

Some say it’s “catfish-like,” while others describe it has having the serpent-like appearance more common to water-dwelling cryptids.

Spooktober has started at World Anvil! The rules this year don’t allow submitting everything in a single article like last year, so I’ve added a category page where all my new Spooktober entries will show up.
