Inconoclast
A person who attacks cherished beliefs, traditional institutions, etc., as being based on error or superstition. A breaker or destroyer of images, especially those set up for religious veneration. Iconoclast is a word that often shows up on vocabulary lists and College Board tests. How will you remember the meaning of this vocabulary-boosting term? If you already know the word icon, you're halfway there. An icon is a picture that represents something. The Iconoclasts (those who rejected images) objected to icon veneration for several reasons, including the Old Testament prohibition against images in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:4) and the possibility of idolatry. The defenders of the use of icons insisted on the symbolic nature of images and on the dignity of created matter. The iconoclast risks social and professional ostracism, frequently alienates colleagues, and must face a daily reckoning with a high likelihood of failure. He walks a tough road. And although there is a certain romantic notion to the image of the rugged individualist, who, against all odds, triumphs over conformity, the simple fact is that most.

Iconoclasts In History
Lost in Laminate
Torei, a planet as reclusive as it is infamous, has opened itself to the galaxy. Known for its cultural inclination towards bondage, slavery, and the glossy material known as laminate, travelers are cautioned to be wary while on the surface-- some say the allure of a collar can surprise even the strongest willed, but many others simply find themselves caught in a system seemingly designed to enslave. And you just woke up in a Torean hotel, memory full of holes, without a credit to your name.
Can you make it off planet? Do you want to?

Laminate Calling
Created to celebrate the one year anniversary of Lost in Laminate's release, Laminate Calling is a potential sequel, with numerous improvements including player backgrounds, skills, perks, and an improved clothing system. I am providing no guarantee that this will be the actual sequel, or that I will create a sequel at all, but enjoy this sneak peek at what the future could hold.
Current Version: Laminate Calling 0.1
Steeldriver
This project is a wholly SFW story set in a universe of my own creation, with fantasy and roleplaying elements. When I lose the muse for Lost in Laminate I find switching focuses can help, and over time this story has taken root. Featuring advanced UI and quest system improvements, Steeldriver sees you playing as courier between a spirit of the Blackwood and the Violet Lady. Includes the entire prologue and opening sequence.
Current Version: Steeldriver 0.2
A Very Cynful Christmas
Besides creating narrative fiction, I also have a long term roleplaying partner, and this short and self-contained story features characters we have developed over time. While not exactly built for public release, I am posting it here because some folks are ravenous for *any* sort of content. Set in the Mass Effect universe and with a focus on quarians and ponygirls, A Very Cynful Christmas has four different playable characters and a small selection of custom artwork.
