About

Hi, I'm Lucas. You might also know me as @Macguffen on Twitter. I live in Seattle with my wife (sadly no cats, yet) and by day I do a lot of data entry work. By night (or late afternoons and weekends) I'm your friendly neighborhood nerd, with boxes of old consoles in my closet and shelves rather overstuffed with Amiibo and D&D books.

I started this blog back when D&D 4e first came out. Not everyone's favorite, I know, but it really inspired me. I wanted to have a creative space to share ideas with my players, local game shop friends, and the rest of the community. Ideamancer became that space for me. I even participated in the RPG Blogger Network back in the early '00's.

We moved to Seattle right around the time that D&D's 5th edition came out. Updates to the blog have gotten a bit more sporadic since then. Partly because of life stuff,  but also because I've been digging deep into all kinds of Spelljammer lore. A lot of my recent work has been focused around adapting Spelljammer mechanics and items for 5e. Some of them you'll find on the blog, but I also have a few up on DM's Guild.

TTRPG world design and mechanics continue to be a huge passion of mine. Thank you for letting me share that passion with you. I hope you find something here that inspires you to do some Ideamancy of your own.
