King's Day in the Netherlands, but as a fervent anti-monarchist, I don't care about that. Instead, why not look forward to the night of the 30th? Walpurgis Night. Witches' Night. Fire Night. Magic Night. I've written a
#callofcthulhu
scenario for it. Interested to review? Drop me a line.

Every game maker is competing for air space and attention in this, the days of fat sales. But yes, both of my big GMless games are quite discounted right now, so if you wanted to try them, now's a good time: Drivethru:

Reviews and comments for Befallen are trickling in and a lot of them are talking about the unique character classes in the book, so I thought I'd put together a thread talking about them 🧵🧵🧵 My class design philosophy is that each class should play the game in a fundamentally different way.

Flashback to November 2016, building the Ironsworn cover image from stock photo elements. One of the many ethical alternatives to gen-AI for creators on a budget. Low-cost, using skills that are easily learned. And it still holds up several years later.

Always happy to hand out copies for reviews and actual plays and charity giveaways and [insert other thing I didn't think of off the top of my head]. I also provide a batch of community copies of my games each month.

Apparently it's the weekend for weird horror movies, because I watched "The Substance" on Friday and "The Neon Demon" today. I have no idea how to describe either of these movies. The only other movie that left me this speechless was "Possession". Just no words.

Finished the final piece of art for this last night, which wraps up layout. The digital version of BEFALLEN will be available just as soon as proofing is complete. Aiming to have it out by this time next week, if not sooner, but 330 pages is a fair bit of book to proofread.

Today on the blog I dig into the house style of first party adventures across a variety of modern TTRPG systems, and discuss how they influence the way in which we write for different games.

Just finished the writing for a project I've been working on for about 8 months: a new rather robust GMless fantasy game system. I say robust because it came in at ~52K words of text. Now on to finishing the editing, art and layout.

Been here a while but haven't done an intro post, so... I'm David! I'm a Canadian artist and game designer. I've work on TTRPGs and board games, draw spooks and monsters and landscapes, and am in the middle of designing 2 new games right now that I can't wait to show off.

O Captain is releasing in full on July 25! That's Next Tuesday! This solo game of stories, stars, and the sea was made possible by over 250 backers on Crowdfundr, and I'm so grateful and thrilled and excited. I also have a press kit and review copies, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
