Welcome to the Mystery Box.
Thoughts Unboxed is my corner of Mystery Box Stories where I unpack the wild ideas, design notes, and narrative experiments that shape my work in tabletop storytelling. It’s a blog for the moments that happen behind the screen and between the dice — the kind of reflections that don’t always make it into finished games but still spark new directions.
Here, you’ll find thoughts on TTRPG design, explorations of narrative mechanics, and behind-the-scenes peeks into how stories take shape. Some posts will be practical design notes, others will be creative rambles, and sometimes they’ll simply be experiments in storytelling waiting for you to play with.
If you’d like to go deeper, I share extended essays, exclusive experiments, and ongoing projects over on my Patreon — a space where the Mystery Box opens a little wider, and supporters can help shape what comes next.
You can also connect with me on Bluesky, where I share updates, quick ideas, and conversations about tabletop storytelling with the wider community.
Whether you’re a game designer, a roleplayer, or just someone who loves a good story, Thoughts Unboxed offers insights and inspiration worth exploring. Think of it as part journal, part workshop, part campfire chat — always circling back to the joy of imagination and the craft of play.
So, step inside, lift the lid, and discover what’s waiting in the box today.
