Volume 7 of the Outer Bounds, my 'Digimon World'-inspired setting for Animon Story, is now available to Ko-fi Members! This volume takes us across Boulderoll Canyon into the Sparkling Desert, where sweltering heat rises up from the slumbering Avatar of Fire, deep beneath the sands.

The Ghost in the Shell RPG, based on the original manga, has just gone live on Backerkit. I co-wrote and co-designed this game alongside Alessio. I’ve seen quite a bit of buzz around the Synthesis Conflict system which is really great as that was one of my main contributions 😄 Check it out:

Had a couple more sessions of ECO MOFOS, banger of a game! Really like how it adapts the Odd mechanics, and it’s super easy to jump into adventuring, great for getting straight to the fun. (Sure wish it had an index though!)

A not so gentle reminder that we are firmly anti-AI. We believe in human creativity. You won't find any Gen AI crap in our games. Artwork from top right: Siman Vlaisavljević, Álvaro Jiménez, Findara McAvinchey, Clara-Marie Morin, Álvaro again, and Wouter Florusse. Human Made logo by Hinokodo

We've at the last 48 hours on #Kickstarter If you want to help us see this game to completion, please consider backing. If not, we will still release the game but it will be a much more modest release. If you can't back for money reasons, don't feel guilty. We appreciate any help you can give.

Petmon is entering its final week on #Kickstarter The title is my narrative-focused, diceless, Digimon-inspired TTRPG. The entire text of the game can be read, without backing, through the kickstarter updates. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cov...

The image is an advert for Petmon, our diceless TTRPG inspired by Digimon. It also shows my two prior titles -- the "shonen jump inspired" Pbta TTRPG Friendship, Effort, Victory & "Megas XLR Inspired" We Dig Giant Robots.
