## Bio

I work in the software industry and spend my non-work time playing tabletop
role playing and board games and practising
[Iwama-style aikido](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwama_style).
This website is an archive of thoughts and projects, mostly related to tabletop
games.

I've been playing role playing games and board games in earnest for about forty
years, starting in a high school chess and board game club and continuing on
through university and afterwards. The first RPGs I owned were a *Traveller* set
(the little black box) and a *D&D* set (with the psychedelic Erol Otus cover).
