Dear Vagobond Fam, After more than two decades of writing, creating, and wandering under the name Vagobond, the time has come to lay this identity to rest. This isn’t a disappearance—it’s a strategic retreat, a rebrand, and a fresh start. This will be the last post I create here or on the Vagobond site or…
I’ve created some AI Baojis – come interact with them! We have a lot going on in the Baoism Discord server. There is the Lamsterverse – which is a collaborative creation that has Baoism as one of its core roots. There are discussions about all the things that matter in life among a group of…
I’m excited to share a project that has been in the works for years. Future World 2323 started with one of the the novels I wrote during the pandemic Notes from Nowhere in which I put a man of our time into a world three centuries hence. In 2022, in E.R. Donaldson’s Mythic. Winter anthology,…
It occurred to me that some of you have not been on this journey with me from the beginning, so I want to take a moment to share my book writing career with you. At this point I have written more than twenty books and been a part of a number of anthology projects. Some…

I’ve been developing the concept for a storytelling game called Conspiracy for several years. Actually, if you go back to 1984 when 12-year-old me first started thinking about how this might work – you would find me sitting in my room wishing there was a more efficient way to program my brand new Commodore-64 while…

Thanks to the encouragement of my friends on the Web3 Writing Hour, I have released the prologue of my unreleased novel: Hasan i Sabah as a digital collectible that you can listen to, look at, and own. In the future, I may choose to publish the book as a traditional book, an ebook, an NFT…
It’s interesting to me that my time invested in this site, my writing, and the various social platforms has ultimately come down to not be worth anything as far as the algorithms are concerned.
