CORE Preview and Mechs

I've been playing a souls-like solo TTRPG called Rune. It's very much influenced by stuff like Elden Ring and it's been a great time. It's lethal, it has combat that makes you think and observe and wait for your moment. It has lore that lets you delve furth...

The Fall of House Prosh Prototype

Hey folks.

The Fall of House Prosh is a tabletop RPG about noble tragedy for 1-6 players. Know how that best part of that new Dune movie was building up House Atreides only to see everything they worked for and love die? Yeah, this is basically that. It's a narrative game using tokens to build a pool of dramatic moments...

The Fall of House Prosh Preview

Hey folks.

In the midst of everything else I've been doing, I've been messing around with an RPG for three players that comes in 3 trifold pamphlets.

KILLOTINE Prototype

Hey Patrons!

Today I have a new and fancy looking prototype for you all. Usually My prototypes are just Google Docs, but not today! For such a small project I thought I would try writing directly into layout, and overall I'm pretty happy with the results.
