What I’m Currently Working On

Against the Elements – an original TTRPG ruleset making extensive use of ‘clocks’ from FitD. Set in a harsh frozen wasteland, players manage their resources in this gritty survival game. This is currently in the playtesting stage before release.

RUNNER – a cyberpunk-setting TTRPG ruleset based on the Trophy RPG system. Balance your Edge, Addiction levels, Heat and Harm whilst trying to save enough creds from your scores to retire in luxury. This game is in a second round of playtesting.

Invasion – a collaborative roleplaying game drawing influences from video games like X-COM, TV shows like The X-Files, and alien invasion movies like The Body Snatchers. In Invasion, the players create characters within an international organisation with the purpose of investigating and repelling an invasion from extra-terrestrial foes. This game’s still in early development, with playtesting scheduled to begin summer 2023. It will be using a version of the Sparked by Resistance system.

Heroes & Hydras – a rules-light fantasy adventure TTRPG ruleset based on elements of the Forged in the Dark system. Leaning heavily on the idea of *the world’s most popular TTRPG* should actually be simpler, faster and more fluid, this game should give players the feel of what most imagine that game to play like, without all the bloat. This game is in playtesting.

Dead West – based on Heroes & Hydras, this time in a ‘weird west’ setting full of zombies, gunslingers and supernatural doohickies. Currently in playtesting.

Mechs & Lancers – based on Heroes & Hydras, but with mechs and their pilots.

Yes, Friend Computer – a Paranoia-inspired TTRPG ruleset based on the Trophy RPG system. This is currently in the playtesting stage before release. You play as a team of downtrodden workers in a futuristic dystopia ruled by an AI overlord. It’s a frantic-PvP game set to extremely silly.

WRASSLER – based on the system used in RUNNER, this light ruleset allows players to embody a wrestler and play their persona in the ring. They seek the adulation of the crowd, fame and fortune whilst balancing their health and reputation. This is in early development.

Yes, Overlord – a Paranoia-inspired TTRPG ruleset based on the Trophy RPG system. This is currently in the design phase. You play as minions (goblins?) trying to please the evil Overlord in his dungeon-realm, all while stabbing each other in the back (literally).

Bumps in the Dark– based on the Forged in the Dark system, this ghostbusters-inspired TTRPG ruleset lets you and your friends roleplay as paranormal investigators, trying to run a business whilst saving the city. This is still in the pre-testing development stage.

Meadow – a rules-light fantasy adventure featuring anthropomorphic animal characters. Heavily inspired by the Armello video game lore. Currently in development/playtesting stages.

Unnamed – a ghost-busting roguelike dungeon-crawler video game for PC. In development. Check out my devlog.
