The person
behind the site.
I'm GearedMind — a person of strong opinions, an unhealthy relationship with my backlog, and a habit of making things. This site is where I dump my thoughts on games I'm obsessed with, art I've made or collected from people I know, house rules I've imposed on unsuspecting friends, and stories worth telling.

Art I Keep
Clockwork City
A sprawling mechanical city built from gears, pipes, and ambition. Took about three weeks of evenings. The lighting pass nearly broke me.
Portrait Study #7
Part of a series of charcoal portrait studies. This one finally clicked — the values felt right for the first time.
Self-Portrait in Copper
Screen print on copper leaf. The process was chaotic and I have no idea how to repeat it. Sometimes that's the point.

Rules I Impose
Ditch the Dice
Instead of using dice, write out all the combinations of the faces of 2 die and create a deck of cards.
The No Fast Travel Pact
Fast travel is disabled for the first playthrough. All travel must be done on foot, horseback, or via in-game transit systems.
One Life Per Session
You get one death per gaming session. When you die, you stop playing for the day.
