After moving to Philadelphia, Gable wrote another Twitter play, The 15th Line,^[14] as well as the stage plays D-Pad, which was a finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference,^[15] and Go Ahead, which was presented at the National New Play Network's National Showcase of New Plays.^[16]

In 2018, Gable adapted his play Watch Me Jump into a video game, which was made available for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.^[17][18][19] The game was nominated for an Independent Games Festival Award for Excellence in Narrative.^[20]
