Hey folks!
So I recently acquired a copy of Affinity Publisher and I'm working on converting my games to that program so I can put something together that looks better than my efforts in Google Docs. Story Time Frames was my first game I...

Hey folks,
So, with all the demonstrations happening in the USA and across the world now seems like a bad time to try to promo a game I made. But I also want to make sure that my patrons are given something for their continued support each month when I can. So I'm just gonna put the link here, send $5+ patrons. It's

Neon Black is now text complete. What does that mean? Well as of right now, there are no major updates or missing pieces in Neon Black. Everything I want in the rules is present and accounted for. There may be fixes and updates in the future but as of right now everything that I've ever ...

Hey folks,
So Patreon has decided they need to follow local tax laws, and therefore starting July 1st, there will be a tax on pledges that provide tangible benefits (physical and digital goods). The exact tax rate changes based on where you live, but it's between 5% and 15% in most cases.
This wil...

Hey folks!
I have a new game prototype for you all to enjoy! This is something I've been experimenting with on Facebook, Discord, and Twitter and I've been really pleased with the results. I was originally going to post this on itch.io BUT the folks at 2020-04-26 23:24:56 +0000 UTC

Hey folks,
First of all, I want to thank my new patrons who joined this month, as well as anyone who has purchased my games on itch this last week. Thank you. I was laid off earlier this week, so was my roommate, and about half the people living in my bu...

Hello delvers,
Well, in designing Riot in the Stars, my science fiction solo RPG, I started obsessing over a different sort of experience. Something grim and claustrophobic, and very reminiscent of games like The Darkest Dungeon, Diablo, or Slay the Spire. Some part of my brain was telling me that if I wanted t...

Hey Patrons,
Just wanted to give a general update as we move into March.
Work on Riot in the Stars continues. I've made several changes to the original prototype and I'm really happy with how the game is coming together. I'm hoping to have an early access/beta version ready sometime next month when I'll rele...

This will be the last of the Fall of Aldermark chapters for a while. Band of Blades is a cool RPG system but there's way too many moving parts for a solo playthrough. I really like the characters and story I've made so far, but I'd like to focus on other projects for a while.

Hey Patrons!
Well, coming in at about 40 pages, here's my revised stab at Riot in the Stars, a sandbox style single player tabletop RPG where you can explore a science fiction universe. Most of the core mechanics are in, and there's basically one character and a few places to explore but it's enough to start playing the...

Hey Rioters,
So earlier this month I was saying that I would be putting out another small $5 RPG about being an artificial intelligence. I'm putting that project on the back burner for now. Over the last few weeks, in addition to updating Neon Black, I've been working on Riot in the Stars, a much more substantial solo o...

The dead were roaming the hills south of Plainsworth. Gada was preternaturally adept at knowing where and when they would appear. The Dar spy lead the Ghost Owls down the road out of town for a few hours before turning south into the wooded hills outside the town. They had camped for the night before zig-zagging ...

There's a brand new update to Neon Black!
This update adds several new changes. For example there's a new special playbook, the HAUNT, which stands for Human Amalgamate United into Neuro-Telepresence. And yes I do love tortured acronyms.
There’s also new factions, several updates for the Technology chapter, and ...

The Legion stood in formation in the middle of their previous camp at the western front. They were ready to march, heading north to the nearby town of Plainsworth. Food, bullets, and other supplies had been loaded onto horse-drawn carts. The banners of each squad hung in the air above them. Before their order to march, Comman...
