  • Class Notes: Finding the Awesome

    Posting to this site was supposed to be a measure of honesty and keep my writing goals on track. There was no update last week, in part because I took a mini-vacation and in part because I hadn’t finished plot poin 9 yet. Unfortunately, another week has rolled around and I still haven’t finished it.…

    Designer’s Notebook: Exams

    For those who haven’t played ETU before, one of the core mechanics is that each Advance corresponds to an exam (either mid-terms or finals). You ARE a student after all, so that means making choices between investigating a haunting or attending a study session. Your academics can be improved or worsened based on extracurriculars and…

    I (Preston) published a version of this article on my Substack back in early April. If you want the early scoop about my writing projects, that’s a good place to subscribe (for free). A couple months ago when we were building up momentum to talk about the Kickstarter for East Texas University: Fresh Blood, I…
