New Website is live 🎉

Hi everyone 👋🏻

If you’ve been wondering why things have been quieter lately, this post is the answer. At the start of the year, I said I wanted to write more, and then I disappeared for a few weeks. That wasn’t accidental.

I spent that time rethinking where I write and why.

Wanting a Place That Feels Like Mine

One of the main reasons I decided to build my own website, solorpgstudio.com, is that I wanted a space that truly feels like mine.

I like knowing where my words live. I like having the freedom to shape the space around them. Writing about RPGs is a creative outlet for me, and over time, I realized I wanted a home for that creativity that wasn’t defined entirely by someone else’s platform.

I also genuinely enjoyed the process of creating the site. Making something simple, intentional, and tailored to what I want to share felt good, and honestly reminded me why I like building things in the first place.

Still on Substack?

Well, yeah, of course!

I’ve returned to my original Substack address, solorpgstudio.substack.com, and plan to keep using it. I really value the sense of community there. I love reading other people’s posts, leaving comments, and having conversations around shared interests.

There’s something nice about those small interactions, a comment, a like, a new subscriber, that makes writing feel less solitary. I don’t want to lose that.

Two Spaces, Two Kinds of Writing

What I’m aiming for is balance.

On Substack, I’ll keep things lighter and more conversational: ideas, questions, short thoughts, things I discover, and moments where I want to hear what others think. Like this post, for instance!

On solorpgstudio.com, I want to go deeper. Longer reviews, detailed playthroughs, and posts that take their time. Writing without worrying about limits, structure, or format lets me slow down and explore ideas more fully.

The goal isn’t to duplicate everything in both places, but to let each space do what it does best.

Why I Went Quiet (and What’s Next)

I put most of my free time into setting this up before continuing to publish. It felt important to get it right first, even if it meant being quieter for a bit.

Now that the groundwork is done, I’m excited to get back to writing, without friction, without rushing, and with a setup that actually supports how I want to work.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll keep refining the site and start publishing regularly again. Things should feel normal again soon… maybe even better.

Thanks for sticking around, and thanks for reading. More RPG writing very soon. Cheers!
