Hi, I'm Rocky!

I’ve been blogging since 2003, driven by a mission to define the world one keyword at a time. Based in Manila, I live with my partner, Tobie - the person responsible for officially pulling me into the world of serious tabletop gaming back in 2009.

Between a 365-books-a-year habit and a lifelong Transformers fixation, I write at the intersection of sci-fi, fantasy, and LGBT culture. As your Geeky Guide, I curate the deep-dives and strategies that actually deserve a spot on your shelf.
