I'm a writer, a podcaster, a reviewer of games. Here's where I share my own fiction and my encounters with other people's media.

Role-Playing Podcasts

Posted on June 8, 2015 by fakedtales

I guest star on a podcast now, as part of the Who Dares Rolls crew. I’m also a bit of a podcast addict, so I wrote an article about some of my favourites. Think of RPG podcasts a bit like … Continue reading →

Carolina Death Crawl

Posted on June 7, 2015 by fakedtales

I introduced the people of Who Dares Rolls to what role-playing games are and can be, so I needed an example to show people how cool games are. I landed on a recent play experience because it was great, but … Continue reading →

Posted on June 4, 2015 by fakedtales

A Final Fantasy license has collided with a jumble of random words and created Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, which is an awesome game despite the silly name. I wrote about the game here on D+Pad Magazine. You can download … Continue reading →

The D+Pad YouTube Channel

Posted on June 3, 2015 by fakedtales

I’ve been part of the video game blog D+Pad Magazine for a while now, but did you know Fred Black and I run their YouTube Channel? Almost certainly not, given our viewing figures. That’s okay, I forgive you. You were probably all … Continue reading →

Oh, the Places You’ll Go

Posted on June 2, 2015 by fakedtales

I’ve started to write for Who Dares Rolls, a website which deals with tabletop games. I’m a friend of Ben Hendy, who introduced me to the site and explained that they had a big RPG-shaped hole which I could fill. I joined the site and … Continue reading →

Dead of Winter

Posted on January 4, 2015 by fakedtales

I admit I had a little fun initially with Dead of Winter and my promise of a review of it. At first there was this, then my review of the camp fire horror role-playing game Dead of Night which had … Continue reading →

Twenty Years Ago

Posted on November 7, 2014 by fakedtales

It’s a big anniversary for me today, so rather than rant about NaNoWriMo or the popular culture, or putting up a short story (I actually did that last week, there’ll be another one soon, I promise), I’m going to delve … Continue reading →

Flash Fiction: Do Not Read

Posted on October 29, 2014 by fakedtales

It’s been a little while since I put a short story on this site, so here’s a little something I’ve done to stretch my legs (yes, writing legs, shut up!) and provide a little bit of horror for the season. This … Continue reading →

NANOWRIMO 2014 CHARACTERS

Posted on October 29, 2014 by fakedtales

We’re almost at NaNoWriMo, so I don’t know how useful this advice will be, but it might help people as they go. Characters are awesome, it would be pretty difficult to make a story without them. I’m sure it’s not … Continue reading →
