Current Projects

Gravity's Folly

Gravity's Folly is a campaign setting for D&D 5e that takes place in a sci-fi world where technology has advanced enough as to be indistinguishable from magic! As such, the mechanical rules of magic are completely unchanged from the basic D&D ruleset, but the flavor is entirely grounded in science and technology

Here's a blog post about it, and look for more in the future as it gets more and more fleshed out as my friends and I play through it!

Catharicosa

Catharicosa will be a suite of platform agnostic tools for TTRPGs to make your game easier as both DM and player.

Catharicosa Notes and Starship Console are already in the bag, but look for more to come!

Javascript Games

Here are a couple of games I made during my journey to learn web development! Enjoy!

I happened to win a ticket to see @wicked_musical last week for tonight's performance. It's a really bittersweet thing for me because seeing this musical live was one of Erica's dreams. One she was never able to achieve. I've arrived an hour and a half early to just reflect and hopefully wash all the feelings out before the show starts where I will undoubtedly be inundated by the feelings it's intended to produce. She's never really gone. So she's here to see this with me tonight. I told my friends when I won that I don't think ghosts need tickets. Her seat is around my neck. Anyway. We're here to see the wizard. #fuckcancer

Robbie Coltrane didn't mean as much to me as he did to some, but his connection to the Harry Potter universe makes him inextricably linked to Erica and, as such, this news gives me the sads all over again. If she were still here we would be planning to make homemade butterbeer in his honor.

I just dumped a load of her clothes into a donation box. There's still a lot I haven't gone through yet. Most of it will end up being tossed. The whole process gives me anxiety. Just doing this one load is choking me up a little. But she would be the first one to say "just throw it all out, I don't need it anymore."

The placement of the Izzy tattoo represents where we found her first lumps. Please test yourself for lumps early and often. It was too late for her, but it could save your life.

You may or may not know that my wife, Erica Beaudry, has been fighting against breast cancer since her diagnosis in 2019. Today that fight has ended. About three weeks ago we made the decision to enter her into hospice, leave our house which we couldn't afford on a single income, and move in with her aunt. After some complications in the hospital, she and I finally made it to her aunt's house Thursday night. Friday I picked up her kids from their father's place for their regular weekend visit and we had that day to look after her, visit with her, and care for her. She passed peacefully in her sleep Saturday morning at around 7:30. While this was something we were expecting, it was not something we expected to happen so quickly. Three weeks ago the doctor gave us a three-month timeline. Then again, her entire cancer journey has been about the cancer defying our efforts and expectations. She did not want a funeral; she did not want a memorial; she was adamant in her wishes not to have anyone organize any kind of event that would have people crying for her and regurgitating platitudes to those she left behind. Please instead go enjoy one of her favorite meals in her honor: Mac and cheese (the crappy kind from a box, not baked), chicken nuggets (must have ketchup), French fries (ketchup or ranch), wings (especially from Hattrick's with lots of ranch dip), mashed or baked potatoes (butter, salt, and lots of sour cream), and/or tacos (again, LOTS of sour cream). Do this and swap happy memories about her with loved ones so that she can listen in while she haunts you and realize exactly how loved she was.
