Poll - What Goals?

So, as I look at what my Patreon is about and continue to evolve it, I realize that my original Patron Goal (what happens when I get X money or X backers) doesn't line up with my intentions for this P...

Cover Art by the magnificent Worsey

We just concluded the final days of The Last Days of Solomon, and so I've been unreasonably busy with all of that. The players killed two of the...

Development 06 - Why Sad Games Matter

This post is a bit self-indulgent and I'm sorry about that, but also every single one of these blog posts is self-indulgent, and I'm not sorry about that.

Development 05 - Immersive Theater?

Apologies for the late post - between wrapping up the first playtest of Solomon, working on the second playtest of Solomon, and the quickly-growing amount of schoolwork I need to accomplish, I've been...

Last Days of Solomon: House Makidah

So at this moment I don't have a ton of information to reveal directly, as there's a lot of stuff we're in the process of revising for our second playtest. As we finish sections over the next...

What Is The Last Days of Solomon

 There are no stars above the city of Solomon, only a thick and hazy mist. There are no roads that lead from the city of Solomon, only a black and reflective moat guarded by a serpent larger ...

Would people want Solomon content?

Pick whichever resonates most with you. If more than one does, let me know!

Workbench Saturday - The Sorcerer's Bargain

I should just call this Tabletop Saturday because it seems like I only post old tabletop games on here. Anyway, this is a fun little game I wrote for 3 people, about being a sorcerer, a daemo...

Development 03: Can LARP Not Be Tourism?

It all started when I was talking to one of my friends about a role-playing game about addiction. The intention of the game, from my perspective, was to create a LARP where the players could encounter...

Queer Messes is Now Available on DriveThruRPG!

I just released Queer Messes, one of the LARPs I've been writing, on DriveThruRPG! It's about queer teenagers having drama. I posted an earlier version of it on here, but this is a more complete versi...

Workbench Saturday - Paper Country

I love this game. It's not exactly the cleanest-looking game on paper (it needs a lot of cleaning up, refining, playtesting, etc) but it's a ton of fun to play and some of my best tabletop experiences...

02 Development - When Do Characters Get to be Happy?

I was talking on my Twitter recently about happiness in games. It brings up a question for me - how does emotion actually work in stories? Sometimes I hear people talk about how they write RPGs to ins...

Workbench Saturday: Promethean: The Unborn

I really wasn't sure about releasing this game for people to see. I first wrote it last year, and it was my first real foray into the world of tabletop gamewriting. However, it's also a really fun and...

01 Development: Larp Ritual

So this is my very first post on Patreon, and certainly the first time I've ever used a blog in a concerted way in my entire life. I have a lot of thoughts, but I almost never write them down. I'm...

Mask Dance - A House LARP

 

So this is a small LARP I'm still not sure about. I think it would be a lot of fun, but I sorta want there to be more meat to it. It also sorta challenges what a House LARP is, because while ...

The Travels of the Old Stars - A House LARP

So this is one of a couple of smaller LARPs I'm writing for the House LARP anthology, about dying gods remembering their history and staring up at the stars. As mentioned, it's a pretty small LARP, bu...
