As a writer, artist, and/or editor I have worked on over 50 role-playing games, most of which are available for purchase at DriveThruRPG and itch.io. Here are some of the highlights:
Swann Castle (QAGS) – The sky above is a shimmering haze of color, and floating high above you is a city the size of a moon. You’ve found yourself at the intersection of 100 different worlds. There are people around you, of all shapes and sizes—some are human, some look alien, some are talking ponies. These travelers are approaching the majestic fortress in the center of the clearing. This is Swann Castle. Swann Castle is a multiversal setting for use with any RPG. Character stats are given using QAGS rules but can be easily adapted for use with other systems. This handsomely illustrated book includes:
- An overview of the castle’s history, government, and culture;
- Descriptions of the queen and her ministers, as well as colorful characters you may encounter in and around the castle;
- Useful tables for encounters, rumors, items, and more;
- Descriptions of the different parts of the castle, including the Catacombs, the Market, and the S’Otel;
- Overviews of 8 different worlds your characters can visit, from Oz to Xöthma-Ghül, with descriptions, random tables, and gameable content;
- And so much more!

Project 8Ball – The life you know—your family, friends, job, everything—is a lie, a carefully-crafted web of memory implants and forged documents. You are not a random civilian; you are an agent of Project 8Ball, a government agency so secret that, at any given time, only 37 people know it exists. As your false identity slips away you remember a terrible truth: The world is a shadowy cesspool of mystery and madness. Aliens, cryptids, parahumans, time travel, space gods, angels, all of them are real, and all of these extranormal elements endanger baseline consensus reality. Your mission: Keep the world normal, even if you go mad doing it.
Project 8Ball is a game of weird conspiracy inspired by the works of David Lynch, Grant Morrison, and Philip K. Dick. Players take turns running game sessions and, working together, weave a web of mystery and wonder. This book includes:
• Rules for character creation, including sample character archetypes;
• Mechanics for action resolution;
• A complete adventure, “The S.T.A.B. Imperative”;
• Rules for the rotating Game Master system;
• Tips and tricks for GMs;
• Story hooks, random tables, and appendices;
• And more!
