Our website

Sharing stories. Creating community.


Hi. I'm K.J. - hobbyist writer and long-time gamemaster. I also enjoy playing bass guitar and eating dark chocolate but not simultaneously.

I began this newsletter and Watch Well Games in 2023 to build community around a hobby many of us enjoy - tabletop RPGs.


The Watch Well Games creators coalition is a pool of indie tabletop RPG writers and artists who join me here as guest contributors. As of mid-2025, we published our first zine, The Quintessential Curios.


Here’s what else you can expect from us:

  • Interviews with creators - some new, others veterans.

  • Reviews of tabletop RPGs from larger publishers to new indie creators.

  • Play-throughs from our recent game sessions, including any GM notes on what we modified or changed.

  • Insight and inspiration from indie creators.


  • 📜Newsletters are free and release every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month.

  • 📝Notes post every few days.
