Hey, I'm Luke (my pronouns are they/them). 

I'm a queer non-binary game designer, performer, and professional GM.

My games are sincere, spooky, sad, and specific in both their themes and their setting. My work is emotional and honest; informed by a poetic sensibility; grounded in a sense of place and genre; interested in people, their pasts, and internal landscapes; and focused on "soft" narrative mechanics rather than complex procedures.

I'm currently working on:

• To Tread the Spiral Path: An episodic game about Irish exiles questing through the Otherworld, facing gods and fey and distrust to regain their honour.
• Through the Smoot: A Forged in the Dark roleplaying game about bold and curious villagers escaping their mundane lives in the borrowed skins of animals to travel into Faerie..
  
• Empires & Hunger: An expansion for Across the Endless Sea. It widens the game's scope and gives The People more of a drive in their voyaging.

You can support my games in progress over at patreon.com/gamesfromthewildwood. Very occasionally I stream my design work at twitch.tv/gamesfromthewildwood.
