Thanks for stopping by the website! You can call me MGX, and I'm a gamer and indie game developer who got his start on Twitch as an Age of Empires 2 streamer. Although I started playing AOE2 back in the days of Windows 98, I did not return to the game or join the broader community until April of 2020.

Since stepping away from AOE2, I’ve begun my game development journey. I have worked on several small video games, including my first major project, Okapi Odyssey. My prototypes are available to play on itch.io, and I would love your thoughts and feedback!

After a two-year hiatus from Twitch, I have returned with a new World of Warcraft project called The Book of Kiat. The Book of Kiat is a living journal that unfolds both live on Twitch and here on the website, where each chapter is preserved as part of Kiat's growing historical record. Together, we will follow the story of our titular character, Kiat, who has awakened in Azeroth as a human mage with no memory of how he arrived there. After each stream, Kiat chronicles his experiences in writing, documenting his journey in hopes of discovering the truth behind his mysterious arrival and perhaps one day finding a way home.

Outside of Twitch, I enjoy serving as a GM for various TTRPGs, including Star Trek Adventures 2e, Star Wars, Kids on Bikes, and Daggerheart. I work in data science and spend a lot of time thinking about how we can use data to better drive decision-making in education. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, and nonfiction, and always love a good book recommendation.

Whether you're here because of Warcraft, strategy games, game development, or tabletop RPGs, I hope you will stop by the stream, visit the YouTube channel, or browse the blog. I would love to hear about the latest book you're reading, the game you're currently playing, or simply say hello.
