At any given time, I’m probably working on a variety of projects, both professionally and as a hobbyist.
While stuck at home, I’ve had a lot of spare time to work on my own projects, including this list of archetypes for every class in 5th Edition D&D.
Also, here’s a weird one: Warlock Patron – The Free Market.
This is just a little RPG project I made in less than a day, a Frankenstein’s monster made from the sewn-together bits of similar titles including Lasers & Feelings, Never Tell Me The Odds, and and Freeform Universal.
Here’s a basic RPG system adaptable to almost any setting! It’s perfect for one-shots and short campaigns, allowing groups to dive right in with minimal preparation.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve slowly been putting together some ideas for a quick, simple RPG intended for newer or younger gamers. There are a lot of kids out there who might love role-playing games, but find all the current and previous editions of D&D too complicated, so I’m hoping to play it with my kids when they’re old enough.

As a lifelong tabletop gamer and huge fan of the Pathfinder RPG, I decided to try my hand at making a supplement of ten new classes for the game.
Here’s a quick and easy way to get new players started in Pathfinder.
I make a new version of this for every fantasy RPG I play. This one is for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. If you like swashbuckling and witty repartee, this is the class for you!
Storyverse
I had the great pleasure of working with some really talented people at Dog Day Digital on the Storyverse project, a mobile app full of interactive stories for children. One of their first titles is Knoble Knight and the Perfect Snowflake, for which I provided the story and initial level design blockout.
