About DLC

It’s me.  Gamer, blogger, RPG writer and editor. Being kind while taking no shit. Follow along as I talk about everything tabletop game related that catches my eye!

Where to Find my Work

You can find more of my writing over at The Rat Hole, where I have a bi-weekly column talking about anything TTRPG related that catches my eye. The Rat Hole also has excellent board game and RPG reviews, miniature painting tutorials, and more. Give them a look!

I have a YouTube channel where I have posted short game reviews and am currently working on a few other projects. Subscribe so you don’t miss out on anything new.

I also have a Twitch channel and while there isn’t much there now, stay tuned!

You can find my game design work at Itch.io on the Prairie Dragon Press page. Just some small projects for now, what I’ve worked on between editing projects. Follow me there to see what’s next!

Actual Plays and Interviews

I am available for interviews anytime and love talking about a wide range of topics in the TTRPG space. Send me a DM on Twitter or and email (address above) so we can talk. I have also interviewed a few people for The Rat Hole, and likely will again!

• The Rat Hole presents: Interview with Cat McDonald – I got a chance to sit down with my friend Cat, who also happens to be an extremely skilled and talented game designer, as well as a swell person all around.
• The Rat Hole presents: Unbreakable: Revolution – My interview with two of the team behind Unbreakable: Revolution, Jacky Leung – Creative Lead & Managing Director (@deathbymage) and Jazz Eisinger – Editor In Chief (@orangelikejazz)
• Yes Indie’ed Podcast – Marx Shepherd interviewed Francita, Hector, and myself about the Creator Catalyst Project.
• Tales from the Tavern S3E28 – A fun show where we answer questions from chat.
• Tales from the Tavern S4E4 – A podcast so nice I did it twice!

While I have only just dipped my toe into the actual play space, I’ve loved it so far! Check the links below to see me playing with some truly excellent people; give them all a follow on Twitter.

• Clockwork Vines, Season 1 – Sadly we only captured the first two sessions of this, but these two sessions are pretty fun to watch. A Call of Cthulhu actual play.
• Clockwork Vines, Season 2 – A new story, so you needn’t have seen S1 to follow along. A Call of Cthulhu actual play.
• Revenge of the Forgotten – This was a super fun Solstice-themed one-shot and the first appearance on stream of my favourite swashbuckling himbo, Dunsany.
• Rolling for Reproductive Rights – I was invited by Jes to run a D&D game on their charity stream supporting reproductive rights. My players were amazing and you should definitely check this out!

• Ways and Wanderings – Last November I helped produce what turned out to be an award winning Wanderhome RPG actual play. We entered it in Rainbow Roll Fest this year, and it was awarded a Direct Selection to the New Jersey Web Fest.
