Remember that project I mentioned earlier called “Dead in the Water” ? Well, it’s now called The Undying Sea and I ran the first playtest this afternoon and it went pretty great. The Undying Sea is built on Chris McDowall’s Into the Odd engine for running a character and on Emmy Allen’s Depth-Crawl engine for […]

Wicked Little Delves: Update
This weekend I upgraded the covers and downgraded the prices (to $2.50) for the three volumes of Wicked Little Delves: I’m still very pleased with how these collections of one-shots turned out, although maybe I should have made them into a single big collection, like 13 Weird One-Shots. I suppose I can always make that […]
I’d like to take a little break from talking about Carcassay (currently 20% off!) to talk about the Mark-of-the-Odd game that I’m writing now where you play as the crew of a somewhat piratical ship, upon a cursed sea, exploring islands, fighting warships and krakens! No, it’s not Pirate Borg (which I recently picked up […]
Welcome to Carcassay
Welcome to the strange and dangerous city of Carcassay, huddled below the skeleton of a titan rat, sprawling above the ruins of countless dead civilizations. This is where folk come to find wealth, power, revenge, secrets, oblivion… and everything in between. Carcassay is a sandbox city adventure. There are many locations to explore in, around, […]
Updates from Carcassay

At the moment, there are over 100 locations in and around the city. Almost every location has at least one well-defined NPC with at least one Quest/Reward to offer, in addition to selling goods […]

A year ago, I was approached by the extremely talented publishing team The Merry Mushmen (Olivier Revenu and Eric Nieudan, of KNOCK! reknown) about creating a prestige remastered edition of one of my adventures. So naturally, I said yes. And now it’s on Kickstarter! The original Ragged Hollow Nightmare was a classic starter village for […]

Thinking about drawing fantasy art
Have you checked out Graphite Prime’s RPG work? I really like their blog, and I really dig their original art. I’ve just ordered print versions of their adventures, Date of Expiration and Praise the Fallen, and I’m looking forward to not just the content but all of the original art inside. Also, have you been […]
