Hey folks!
A quick hello to all the new patrons who have just arrived. Hello!
Also a cheeky little preview of an idea I had: a small rules module that would let you take your Slugblaster characters and put them in typical fantasy dungeons, and maybe take your crusty old dungeon delver...

Starting tomorrow I'm having a sale on all my titles. 37%-off everything or buy them all for $37.
Now for my patrons that's not much, you all get my games in exchange for your patronage already. But if you w...
2023-10-09 22:06:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
Looks like Patreon changed a bunch of stuff again, making the site worse to use and obfuscating crucial information. Just another day with my wagon tied to someone who thinks infinite growth is a thing. Sigh.
So listen, this latest SNAFU might scare off some patrons and mak...

You all like big robots?
How about broken planets?
How about a dark sci-fi wonderland?
Well if you do here is the link to download the RIG prototype. Kickstarter backers got early access and I figured you should too. I'll make posts her when there are significa...

Hey Dungeon Delvers,
Cooked up this little one page game for a game jam and also for a friend's bachelor party. It's all about revisiting a campaign setting you haven't experienced in a long time, trying to regain memories, and uses a very basic version of 4th Edition D&D.
I...

Hey pilots.
My souls-like mech game is now crowdfunding.
Look forward to a preview and complimentary copies when they're completed.

Well that's probably nothing to worry about.
KS goes live in two days, FYI.
I'm not panicking you're panicking.

Spend the day making some art to represent the setting for RIG.
Part of the style guide for the game is the sort of grandiose naming conventions you see in Dark Souls titles, and to a lesser extent games like Death Stranding. Murdered Earth was a bit too on the nose, and a bit inaccurate, s...

Putting together the opening pages. Starting to find a voice. That big white space at the top is for some art of Recombinant Earth, the setting for the game. Got some ideas that I'm excited to try out.
More previews soon.

Hey folks,
The new update for my game of revolutionary drama in a fantastical world is officially released today.
Patrons should already have access to the new version if you claimed that reward. If not lemme know and I can hook you up.
*Looks left.*
*Looks right.*
Y'all want some mechs?

Hey folks,
Just wanted to say thanks for all the new patrons and folks who have continued to pledge! Last month was a great month and we're dangerously close to once again getting to 50 patrons, which means you all are that much closer to choosing one of the many projects I work on.

Hey Patrons,
Little treat for you today. I've been running a game of Slugblaster for some friends. It's great, I love this game so much. But I found having just the print offs for the beats rules a bit confusing, so I made my own.
Instead of having all the beats on two hand-outs...

Here's the character sheet for the Cobblewitch, the first and currently only playbook in Stiletto, the single player adventures in Doskvol game you all voted for last year. I told you it was coming along!
The plan right now is to playtest this, read through what I've written so far, then do...

Hey folks,
First off a big warm welcome to the new patrons who signed up this month. It's great to have you. Take a look around. Get all your complimentary games. If you have any questions please just ask away.

Hey folks!
I pushed the button on the NBL Kickstarter yesterday. We funded in an hour, and we're well over $2k at this point. Great first day. Big weight off my shoulders. I've been working for about a week straight to get the game and the KS page ready and I'm fucking exhausted. Trying to ...
2023-06-02 22:01:12 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
So yesterday I set up my own mailing list. It's a way for folks to keep up with my new releases. No blogging, no idle thoughts about capitalism or game design or whatever, just a way to know when I've released something new, or when I'm starting a Kickstarter.
Primarily I w...

Hey folks!
My next big project is gonna be a revised version of Nasty, Brutish, and Long, a simple RPG about lives complicated by revolution. It's gonna have revised rules, lots more content, new layout, and a limited print run. Pretty similar to what I did with A Torch in the Dark. 2023-05-14 01:56:25 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey Folks!
Just did some spring cleaning here on the ol' patreon page.
First up I updated the welcome page you see when you pledge your support. I was uh, woefully out of date with updating the reward links. Now new members should see a full list of games and supplements they get with...
2023-05-08 22:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey Folks!

Felt a bit blocked on Stiletto this week but made some progress the other day. I was trying to make sure it didn't get too big, and uh, yeah, it's gonna be a big one.
This is the core rules, the Cobblewitch playbook, and 2 out of 6 days for the Cobblewitch.

Just picked these up from the printer and boy HOWDY they look great. Really happy with how they turned out.

Here are the last 2 challenges in Market Day for the Cobblewitch. "Open For Business" shows the lock mechanic where certain items, contacts, etc. are required to pick a certain approach. Got 5 more days to finish and that's the prototype completed.

Hey Patrons!
Still plugging away at Stiletto. Here's what the days and challenges will broadly look like. Not exactly happy with the layout at the moment, but it's enough for playtesting.

Hey Patrons,
Thanks for another month of patronage. Here's a preview of the first completed playbook for Stiletto, my single player game set in the haunted city of Doskvol: the Cobblewitch.
