  • Operation CD Kingfisher-3

    Operation CD-Kingfisher-3 is my entry into the annual One Page Dungeon Contest for 2013. It is a system free espionage adventure. It would probably work great in World of Secrets.

  • World of Secrets

    World of Secrets is my attempt to hack John Harper’s excellent World of Dungeons into doing something it wasn’t intended to do, like running a low-key, morally ambiguous espionage drama. Can your team infiltrate the Pakistani embassy in Paris, get access to their computers and get out before their security notices? Will paranoia and mistrust…

  • [Doodles and Dragons] Vast and Starlit

    Epidiah Ravachol is selling a microgame via self-addressed stamped envelope. To buy it, you mail him a dollar and a picture that you drew. These are the pictures that I drew. Sometime in the next few days I’ll mail them to him.

  • [Doodles and Dragons] All the Doodles and more

    In celebration of finishing my year-long effort to draw a cartoon of every single monster in the 2nd Edition AD&D Monstrous Manual, I made a PDF containing a one page World of Dungeons hack along with every one of my cartoons. (If you like the game portion, you should check out the actual World of…

  • Playtest: Ghost Lines Dark

    We played Ghost Lines Dark last night. There were, of course, a few kinks to get worked out about how Cthulhu Dark relates to Ghost Lines. But it was a lot of fun and seemed to work over all. I stole Judd’s idea of having the PCs be a crew of new recruits mentored by…

  • Ghost Lines Dark

    An afternoon of hacking gave me Ghost Lines Dark, largely because Messers Harper and Walmsley had already done all the hard work.

  • Super Repo

    Super Repo is a game I wrote very quickly so that we’d have something to play on Friday. It’s a comedic superhero game, wherein you play people with superpowers who chose to work a mundane job rather than fight crime. The PCs are all repo workers, taking back freeze rays and giant battle robots from…

  • Baba Yaga’s Dancing Hut

    Baba Yaga’s Dancing Hut is a little game I wrote about Russian fairy tales as a quick game design refresher. This version of the game is still pretty rough, but it playtested pretty well. (as always, there is a lot I’d like to tweak about the game.) I’m still using a modified Deck of Many…

  • [Serpent’s Nest] Consulting the Oracles

    Much of the game is built out of iterating a specific set of actions: One player draws a card from a deck of Tarot cards and asks a question. That player picks two players to offer interpretations of the card and how it applies to the current situation. Then the asking player picks one interpretation…
