Welcome! I'm Tim, and this is my blog about games you can play by having a conversation — hence, "CONversation GAmeS" 😉. You probably know me as a moderator of the NSR Cauldron on Discord since Feb. 2022.
Projects
- I designed Lull Astir, a scenario game (or social matrix game) loosely inspired by the English peasants' revolt of 1381.
- I was Editor-in-Chief for the first issue of our NSR Cauldron community zine, Sword&. The theme was Legends.
- I was interviewed for the Dreaming Dragonslayer podcast about my increasing interest in social matrix games.
- From 2020 to 2025 I designed a series of D&D-like games, including Ruinous, Ruins & Rogues, and Squires Errant.
- I copyedited The Demon of Dogwater Gulch (a one-shot adventure for Lancer) as well as Eldritch Instinct and Roadhouse Feast (a game and adventure inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos).
- I used to blog at Quarterling’s Corner. My favorite posts from that blog have been migrated here.
