I’m iendjinn and you’ve stumbled onto my website, welcome!
Who am I?
A human from Sol III, I’m interested in science fiction, tabletop role playing games and “keep fit”. I also enjoy good coffee and home made pizza.
Why does this site exist?
As a place for me to publish and collate my thoughts and projects that I’d like to share with people.
Why not just use <insert popular web platform here>?
Most blogging and social media platforms are designed to harvest your data to sell you more stuff, or publish and store content in a weird proprietary format.
While writing stuff in markdown and transforming it to HTML is a little clunky, it means that this content is independent of the platform it is hosted on. It also means I can deliver this content free from unnecessary cookies, JavaScript and other cruft that are the hallmarks of many modern websites.
I was very fortunate to have been introduced to tabletop role playing games by “based Cullen”, a fantastic GM who ran a home brew campaign for our group set in the world of Oceanus. Featuring giant turtle ships, ancient underwater domes filled with magitech, and piracy on the high seas, this campaign got me hooked.
Since then I’ve continued to run TRPGs for my friends in a variety of settings and systems, some home brew and some official systems. On this site you can find links to some of my projects, musings on TRPGs, and reviews of game systems I’ve run.
40k wargaming journal
Recently I’ve started playing 40k again, partly because pushing minis around is fun but also because it’s a good excuse to get a regular in person social event in the calendar.
fitness
This year has been a bit of a mixed bag for physical fitness improvement. Life is always a balance between different goals and I’ve certainly tipped the scales towards family and career over the past 12 months.
mothership rpgs review
In the interest of playing more games I decided to offer to run a session of the Mothership RPG for a few colleagues… and it’s turned out to be a success so far. Four sessions in we’ve run the Haunting of Ypsilon 14 and nearly all of Another Bug Hunt (ABH).
borg rpgs worldbuilding
Over the course of my Cy_Borg inspired cyberpunk campaign I made numerous pretend social media posts, headlines, and other bits of world building. I’m posting them here for posterity and in case anyone finds them and is inspired for their own campaign.
mothership rpgs review
Our cyberpunk campaign has reached a season finale and as such needs the full group present for the next session, this meant that we ended up having enough players to play but not enough for cyberpunk.
