A dirty, naked witch, an adorable unseeable horror and a couple of cannibalistic English people. I love this game.
Closer to a full let's play than a funny look, Geran plays The Miskatonic: a visual novel/point n click adventure that takes a dark comedic look at the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

This is a piece of writing that's very special to me. I recently started playing Dungeons & Dragons and decided to write up each session as short stories. This sort of expanded so I plan to put our entire adventure into written form, possibly ending up with something book-length.
This is the first session. We have since played the second session and I'll be writ...

All I have is a name. Nina. I have to find and stop her, but is she what she appears?

This is the second example of the kind of thing that'll be available for $15+ patrons. For a while I played Frostpunk quite obsessively; to the point it affected my dreams. Based on some of the stuff I saw in that game, I had an idea for a story. This is essentially fanfiction set in the world of Frostpunk.
Alongside the prompted works, I'm also op...

Ever wanted to realistically forge a sword? Then sell it to...anime...people. For some reason.
NOTE: I assumed this was in early access. It is not. Welp.

This is an example of the kind of thing that'll be available for $15+ patrons. I wrote this a couple of weeks ago based on two things: a target word count of 700 words and the prompt 'When I put my hand in my pocket, that wasn't what I was expecting'.
Patrons will be able to suggest virtually anything to be added to an ongoing 'pool' of prompts. Quotes, emotions, li...

Last month I posted a long thing about changes I was proposing for this Patreon; the rewards and the presentation, mostly. Since then I've been brainstorming and designing things. I'd like to share with you what I've got and present one last chance for feedback before I implement it some time next month.

We are currently exactly 75% of the way through Season 2. I'm gonna be doing a G-Log in a few days discussing a certain PokéSins situation coming up (It's nothing bad. Just want people to be aware of it), and it made me realise that we should discuss what will happen to the $10 reward when the main series catches up.
It's not set in stone - things can always happen ...

A new game, a new town, a brand new set of things to annoy me.
