Matt's Madness – D&D, Comics, and Things

Matt’s Mind for September 17 2025

I have problems with goals. Setting them is easy, but actually accomplishing them? Hard.

Matt’s Mind for September 11 2025

Wednesdays. That’s the plan now. I’m going to try to do these on Wednesdays, and that way, my current ideas can be presented, instead of trying to fit the last 20 days into one post.

Matt’s Mind for August 14 2025

Oh man, only 10 days since the last update? It feels like so much has happened. Or at least, it feels like I’ve made some neat progress. So let’s take a look at what’s been going on. It starts with podcasts.

Welcome to August! Let’s take a look back and forward.

Culture Quest – “The Power of Fun” by Catherine Price

I picked this book out at the library as part of my blind research floundering process. I was hoping it would be a book about how people interact with games. And it was, sort of, but not in the way that I was hoping. As I realized that the book was not going to be particularly helpful towards my research endeavors, I moved from deep reading to more of a skim, so there are a lot of specifics of the book that I didn’t delve into, so my report suffers related shallowness. But I think there are useful concepts in what I did read, and I can see it altering how I interact with the world in the future as I apply some of what I gleaned.

Hello! This is episode 1 of a new blog idea I’ve had. Long story short, I start a lot of projects, and may of them go nowhere. But my wheels spin on those and it’s hard for people to see my thoughts. And I do like people being able to see me being clever. So, as an accountability journal, Imma gonna blog! And you can find this on my website, on Deviantart, or on my Patreon. Maybe other places? Idk, we’ll see how much traction these get. Please comment if I have a project that you’re interested in. That helps me keep it alive.

DM Devlog: The Gauntlet of Evolution Part 1

Advanced D&D. Confusingly named, confusingly built, and yet, as I study through these hallowed pages, I can really see the potential for the game this would become. I can see parts of genius, some of which I wish was still in D&D today, and some of which really really had some serious problems. Continue reading “DM Devlog: The Gauntlet of Evolution Part 1”
