My primary interests are playing, writing and writing about text adventures, which are also known as parser-based interactive fiction. My adventure authoring language of choice is Inform 6, but my early adventures were written with Adventuron.
Warning: These are all puzzle-based text adventures. If you just want to sit down and read a story, these aren't for you. If you enjoy exploration and solving puzzles, you will enjoy these games.
