Back in July 2020, I frustatedly announced my retirement from writing stories and poems due to creative burnout.


Two and a half years have passed since then. And, after spending two years creating and running my own tabletop role-playing games, I've got some really good news to share with my family, friends and fans alike:


I've changed my mind! I've decided to come out of retirement and continue writing!


After playing Vampire: The Masquerade's New York Bundle of visual novels which were on sale at Nintendo eShop this Monday, I felt overwhelmed with extraordinary inspiration after playing through both games!


So now, just like with my debut Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting that is Incognitus Tales, I've decided to start working on a World of Darkness anthology which will re-tell the stories of characters I created and portrayed in various chronicles made both by me and fellow Storytellers over the past three and a half years!


Long story short: I quit writing two and a half years ago but now I'm back to write new stories! Stay tuned for more details!


Here's to happy storytelling!

Wow! It's been a long time since I last updated my blog on this website! In case you were wondering what I've been up to, I've been mostly producing music and playing tabletop role-playing games online, namely Vampire: The Masquerade. In fact, I know most of the rules of the game so well that I recently started creating and running my own Vampire: The Masquerade chronicles.


Last year, I created and ran an open-world chronicle titled Red Strings which starred a coterie of fledglings learning to adapt to vampirism and Kindred society in present-day Winchester, England. I had fun having my wonderful players interact with my non-player characters and in-game world as well as each other. Sadly though, after running it for three months, I ended up cancelling this game due to boredom and lack of direction.


This year, I've had better luck with two games set in New Orleans, Louisiana: a one-shot called A Night in New Orleans and its sequel chronicle called New Orleans After Dark. This time around, I gave both these games a concrete goal and narrative for the players to follow. As a result, I've had a lot more fun running these games than with Red Strings.


I recently picked up the latest Dungeon Master's Guide for Dungeons & Dragons too. So, hopefully, I'll be creating and running my own Dungeons & Dragons campaigns by this autumn!

Thank you to all of my friends and family who helped me get through 2021! Also, thank you to EDM Prod for helping me realize my new ambition! My New Year's Resolution will be to expand my social network and make fruitful connections. Wish me luck!

After one and a half years of having no goals to fulfil and no ambition to pursue, I finally know what I’d like to do next with my life. I’d like to become an EDM (electronic dance music) producer.


I have over seven years of experience with creating music and manipulating sound. And, after seven years of using basic DAWs (digital audio workstations) on my video game consoles, I believe it’s time I start taking music creation more seriously.


So, for the next 90 days, I’m going to dedicate myself to learning how to use FL Studio, one of the most popular DAWs used worldwide, as well as familiarising myself with music theory, songwriting and sound design.


So far, I’ve set myself a primary goal to create and produce one song every week or fortnight. In three months time, I’ll have produced at least six fresh original songs to cherish. And, if I have the time, I may be able to produce even more.


This is going to be a very musical autumn. In the meantime, you can listen to all the music I’ve created so far on Soundcloud. Wish me luck and stay tuned!
