It is the day I face the Tax Guy. I have prepared. I have pre-paid. I have unwadded all the receipts and tallied them up and breathed into a paper bag. And still, in my heart of hearts, a tiny voice screams “THEY WILL TAX YOU AT A 150% RATE!” I know this is irrational. […]

There has been a crazy awesome turn-out on the Patreon thing. You guys blow my mind. It pays for KUEC AND my antacids AND my coffee. I don’t know how to thank you. So, err…have a story! For those of you who’ve played CrypticStitching, here’s a small prequel for your amusement. (And if you haven’t […]
All right! So as some of you recall, we spent a lot of time talking about Patreon recently, and I really appreciate the various insights from people on the topic. And while I had originally been a little iffy, some of you made some really good points, and we never get anywhere if we don’t […]
Finally, I finish this piece! It’d been laying around for over a month. (It’s amazing what not having a book to work on gets you…) I have the vague feeling this character should be important, but I’m not quite sure how… Prints available, as always.
I’ve successfully ported approximately a quarter of the StoryNexus version of Cryptic Stitching over to Twine. The occasional card gets pruned, the occasional card gets added (there will be words about all those hamsterhide towels!) but mostly it’s holding pretty similar. Achievements are now much fewer, since I don’t need those markers to keep track […]
In case anybody isn’t on Twitter, a very very short story in Tweets. Sky Blue and Grass Green
In the last few weeks, I’ve been getting occasional comments and e-mails suggesting I set up a Patreon account, which is a sort of patronage model where a “patron” sets up a monthly donation to a “creator” because they like what they’re doing and want them to continue. And I have mixed feelings about this, […]
I’m slowly porting everything over–I’ve got all the newcomer quests in, Frogquest and all the various grind* quests from Moon-Stuffing Camp. It takes awhile. For one thing, the cards grow enormously upon import–one “card” in StoryNexus becomes at least two in Twine (which makes sense–cause, then effect!) but most of them become three or four […]
Got an inquiry as to the nature of the binding on the Digger Omnibus edition, from someone wanting to buy it, but concerned about bindings on a book large enough to beat someone to death with. This is a good question. Binding is very important. I turned to Jeff of Sofawolf for the info, and […]
So I’ve successfully–at least, I hope–at least, nothing looks broken–ported the prologue of Cryptic Stitching over to the Twine engine. (We’re a long way from playtesting, but rest assured, there will be a call for testers when we get there!) (Incidentally, if you are stuck or want to ask for hints or share what you’ve […]
