Roguelike Celebration - Organizing
The Roguelike Celebration is a community-generated weekend of talks, games, and conversations about roguelikes and related topics, including procedural generation and game design.
I wear lots of hats - general event organizing, A/V, and in virtual years accessibility- and space design focused development of the custom social space.
Twine
The ubiquitous hypertext interactive fiction tool - though I like stretching its limits and adding modern developer affordances.

whichtool | blog post
whichtool is an interactive tool/resource directory for the Blaseball community, written in Twine. The blog post details my process and design choices for the tool, on tone and accessibility of documentation, both for other developers and for users of a tool.
Tracery
Tracery is a great way to make procedurally generated text. I mostly use it as a way to make homages to other procedural media.
As of January 2023, I am shifting my Tracery bots to Cheap Bots, Toot Sweet and the https://botsin.space Mastodon instance.

Play cards with a group of delightful animal friends who robbed the largest bank on the Eastern Seaboard 12 years ago, and are willing to let you decorate their boat in return for not being executed by the mafia. Besides production, I did additional writing - shop descriptions and character dialogue.
