The old Discord link has, for some reason, stopped working, so here's a new one. Additionally, I've just gotten out of the hospital-- farewell, gall bladder. While recovering, I'm working on the Exalted Demake: a down-shift conversion of Exalted to run on a modified version of the 20th Anniversary WoD system ...
2022-08-17 06:22:17 +0000 UTC View PostOver the last few months I've been recording Exalted vs World of Darkness sessions for an upcoming Sponsored by Nobody podcast: City of the Bull God. It features a group of Exalts digging into the supernatural underbelly of London....
2022-03-18 04:19:21 +0000 UTC View PostThis place hasn't gotten an update in quite a while, because, well, most everything is going on in the Discord channel these days, and because most of what I'm working on I can't TECHNICALLY actively monetize. This, then, is a state of the union update:
Exalted vs World of Darkness Revised is finished and released, and...
Holy hell it's been a while. Two things to cover here: First, a general "what's up," and then, delicious content.
First of all, I'm not dead, I've just been drowned lately in various sorts of work that I can't post up here as work-in-progress previews because it's not on IPs that I own. The Discord channel is very activ...
2019-03-23 15:45:34 +0000 UTC View PostResponse to the release of Exalted vs the World of Darkness has been tremendously gratifying. I had wondered, while working on the project, if it was something that would resonate with people, or if it was just a weird mixture of my personal interests and obsessions that nobody else on Earth was going to find...
2019-02-14 20:43:44 +0000 UTC View PostMy Patreon discord is an active community where you're welcome to yada yada I figured out why I only seem to see a surge of new people in the Discord immediately after I make one of these posts and it's because I AM AN IDIOT who has been tossing up links to the discord that expire after 24 hours without realizing it.

2019-01-12 10:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostDidn't quite expect to get this up today, but here we are. This is one of those things I mentioned that I was working on but couldn't toss up previews of behind a paywall, since it's not my IP.
I wrote a Werewolf: the Apocalypse 20th Anniversary edition supplement for the Storytellers Vault program. 15 ...
2019-01-09 23:29:18 +0000 UTC View PostCurrently all tangled up in writing to bring in some income-- writing I can't put behind the Patreon wall as previews, unfortunately-- so I'm behind on updates here and will remain so for a couple more days. My apologies. Thanks for bearing with me.
2019-01-09 22:21:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello to new patrons, or not-so-new patrons who've been busy or shy or whatever else. The Discord server is still jumping, and if you can see this message then you-- yes, you, personally-- are very welcome to join in.

It’s a world of rain-slick streets screaming neon up at the uncaring stars. A world of smog and industry that chokes lungs and souls with equal glee. A world where vampires hunt the living across dance floors and late-night bus stations, and we are too tired to see through their flimsy lies. But once, before the Wyrm spread...
2018-12-31 19:27:02 +0000 UTC View PostChristmas week kicked my ass very, very, very thoroughly. Tonight I'm recovering. I'll have an essay up tomorrow or the day after.
2018-12-26 23:47:51 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate pushed back to tomorrow. Spoon supply very low tonight.
Be good to one another and enjoy the holidays as best you can.
2018-12-20 04:54:35 +0000 UTC View PostWednesday update, ON Wednesday for a change! Today it's the rest of the Shadow moves for The Renfield Diaries, or at least, a reasonably complete list-- I'd like to get a couple more moves into a few of the lists but am otherwise reasonably satisfied with this version.
Next, rules for the Master.
2018-12-12 23:52:14 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, it's more of The Renfield Diaries. Chapter Five is coming along nicely: this preview has full character creation rules, all role playbooks, and three Shadow move lists for the game's supernatural powers, along with rules for how Shadow moves work. Want to rip a car door clean off? How about i...
2018-12-06 20:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostEDIT: Playbooks PDF has been re-uploaded to fix a copy-paste error that was present in the initial version.
A day late update, but an update nonetheless! Fell asleep last night while formatting this.
Today's patron preview is a set of Role playbooks for The Renfield Diaries, including th...
2018-11-29 21:33:36 +0000 UTC View PostFor this week's update, a small gamedev essay.
--
Eight or so years ago, some guy on a forum I frequented opined that you can find fiction in roleplaying games because RPG authors are failed novelists. I told that guy to go fuck himself while drowning in a lake at the same time, which astonishingly enough is no...
2018-11-21 21:26:59 +0000 UTC View PostStill working on that a game dev essay as mentioned last week, will have it done in a couple days-- it's grown a bit since I first conceived it. Instead, today we've got a new Renfield Diaries preview, encompassing Chapter Four and, since Chapter Four is pretty short and to-the-point, a Role Playbook preview for...
2018-11-14 22:47:08 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for the missed update last week. Had a house guest who I see once a year at best, and between that, Halloween stuff, and midterm jitters... well. We're back, anyway, with another Ironside chapter. I don't recommend reading this update at work. As with previous updates, this PDF contains the entire stor...
2018-11-08 00:28:44 +0000 UTC View PostGood news: Managed to see a doctor and get some antibiotics, feeling a lot better this week. Further good news: we're now into Part Three of Ironside. As with previous updates, this PDF contains the entire story to date, so if you haven't read any of it yet, or you've missed some chapters, you don't need t...
2018-10-25 00:07:19 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for the lack of update last week: shenanigans intensified and formed a tag-team with infected lymph nodes. A fun time was not had and continues to not be had.
Today, though, we have a new chapter of Ironside: morning has arrived and it's time to reveal what lurks in the ducts. As with previous update...
2018-10-18 00:03:11 +0000 UTC View PostThis week's update is gonna be a couple days late due to shenanigans-- sorry everyone.
2018-10-11 05:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostSomething a little different today-- a rough/beta mockup of the already-previewed sections of The Renfield Diaries. This is of course subject to change, especially if a real art budget manages to manifest at some point, but it should give a solid idea of what the final book's going to look like; I'm interested i...
2018-10-03 23:24:27 +0000 UTC View PostNext week I expect to have more game material ready to share, but for today, we've got another Ironside chapter. As with previous updates, this PDF contains the entire story to date, so if you haven't read any of it yet, or you've missed some chapters, you don't need to go hunting back to old updates to get started.

2018-09-13 01:06:28 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Wednesday! For today's update, we've got a completed version of Chapter Three of The Renfield Diaries. This includes not only the remainder of the chapter, but also some touch-ups to the material from last week's update, particularly in the Penanggalan profile.
2018-09-05 13:14:10 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to another Wednesday and another preview. Today we've got a substantial (but not yet complete) chunk of Chapter Three of The Renfield Diaries, covering the setting and its vampires-- which is to say, your employer, your master, your blood hookup, and maybe your inside track on immortality. Enjoy!

2018-08-22 06:50:02 +0000 UTC View PostAs I type this I am rolling into day four (?) of "physically unable to stay asleep for more than 20 minutes thanks to coughing" (pneumonia is fun). You have my word that once I've gotten seven-ish consecutive hours of sleep I'll get a Patreon update up. Thanks for bearing with me.
2018-08-20 17:53:26 +0000 UTC View PostIt's Saturday, that's basically the same thing as Friday, right?
So yeah, after getting back from the vet's yesterday I basically passed out for most of the day as (checks calendar) 15 days of cumulative sleep deprivation caught up with me. But this week's update is here now, late but not lost.
Today we have a new ...
