I've allowed myself to be weirdly obsessive about the archive the past few weeks and I'm finally done. For real this time. tl;dr BIGGER AND BETTER Search Filtering, or The Utility of Tags I regularly ponder how to improve the archive's usef…
I learned Froge is dead when I checked Frogesay to see why he was being so quiet in the activity feed. For this eulogy I have decided to steal all his shit. His css, his favicon, everything. It's not homage, it's theft. I like to think he w…
It’s been a while. I went through a gaming phase, and then a novel writing phase, which I’m still in, so I haven’t devoted any time to the site. My gaming phase involved going through a bunch of itch.io bundle games and revisiting other gam…
I recently heard about Zettelkasten as a way to organize information. Glancing over it, it seems like it’s primarily information organized by tags. I have long felt that a system utilizing hyperlinks and tags is the simplest way to keep ong…
One reason I’d been doing batch uploads to NeoCities is I didn’t have a good way to do incremental site updates. Hugo doesn’t do incremental builds, it rebuilds the entire site every time, and I didn’t like uploading 300+ pages every time I…
I recently became interested in a series of RPGs developed by the now-defunct Quintent in the early 90’s–Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma. I have a Illusion of Gaia cartridge, which is why I became interested in this series. So…

I’ve been interested in building Undine Studios’ Project Dreamscape for a while. It’s now OOP and there are a few used copies still available Stateside but I felt this would be a good candidate for PNP. I picked up the files from PNP Arcade…
I couldn’t wait any longer so I finished up the basics of the X-Files retheme and made a prototype with business card labels on thrifted playing cards, just as I would prototype one of my own games. The retheme wasn’t finished but I needed
Felbrigg Herriot’s Wipers Salient has been on my to-build list for a while, as I am always interested in solo deckbuilders. The game recently popped back up on my radar because Martin, a prolific PNP guild member, shared his Mandalorian ret…
I’ve begun working on my epic freeware game list and was mildly disturbed to find some link rot. Not a lot yet, but enough that I felt the need to start a mirror for some of the most specialest fatabulous games I was afraid might be lost to…
Working on my composting area, I was thinking about how different the forest soil I’m working in is from yard soil that is just feet away. Our region has heavier clay-based soil, in some areas the soil is red or orange. It is thick and hold…
