The Cred Bounty: An (Unplayed) Game for O/U
Near the end of OVER/UNDER, there were quite a bit of projects going on. Specifically, I’m looking at the public works projects that had been proposed, approved for budgeting, and then worked on by several players.

Union Working Game: A Game Made For OVER/UNDER

Seeing all the various backgrounds that each of the hundreds of players are approaching the game with, you see roleplayers, TTRPGers, LARPers, and all sorts of folk!

Choose Your Own Adventure
Disclaimer: more journal entry than a strong blogpost My (board) gaming group and I recently finished our first campaign of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. It is a living card game, which means that there is no randomness to the cards that you get. You get structure decks for characters, and there are rules that Continue reading

Do rules matter?
As a budding game maker, I would like to think that the rules matter. The rules and mechanics imply the type of game that the game is great at supporting. The flavor text, which is vitally important, also supports that. The text of the book matters. Otherwise…otherwise there would be no point in playing other Continue reading
About Me
An avid storyteller who enjoys all sorts of mediums for storytelling, but primarily games. I have been a Game Master since 2015, text roleplayer since the ambitious age of 8, and a reader since before that. I worry more often about my art than I should.
