Had a fantastic interview with Konstantine Paradias about my 'occult cyberpunk RPG' Chromatic Shadows (currently LIVE on Kickstarter). We cover all sorts of esoteric topics like cyberpunk fiction, philosophy of game design, political theory, and magick. youtu.be/A4SIqJgMGaU?...

Chromatic Shadows update: 2 pledges away from stretch goal #4 an all new character role: the Stalker. Designed around navigating tainted zones and supernatural threats, they struggle to preserve their humanity against the Void. Includes expanded rules for Eldritch Scars and original character art!

The Chromatic Shadows Core Rules Kickstarter funded in 24 hours & blasted through 2 Stretch Goals in less than a week. We're ONE GOOD PLEDGE away from unlocking Stretch Goal #3 ... a GM screen + procedural playsheets. Please take a look! #occult #cyberpunk #rpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

Check out the Chromatic Shadows Core Rules Kickstarter campaign! We funded in 24 hrs & cleared 3 stretch goals in two weeks. With a pledge you also get fancy charts on the endpapers of the offset book, ShadowOps #1: a zine of "framework"missions, a GM screen PDF, & a folio of procedural playsheets!

Cyberware in cyberpunk rpgs totally smuggles in the old school notion of magic items as "character special abilities". It's also totally diagetic, and almost always comes with some form of balancing mechanic/ inbuilt limitation. Why write a new ability when a new implant solves the problem?

Being interviewed by Konstantine Paradias for his "Writers Corner" podcast tomorrow morning. We're going to dive into Chromatic Shadows, and chat about the October Kickstarter. I'll post up YouTube links as soon as it's live. #occult #cyberpunk #horror #scifi #rpg

There's over 50 pages of tables and procedures in Chromatic Shadows Core, and also downtime phase mechanics where you can start a street business, found a gang, and build a safehouse! #occult #cyberpunk #horror #ttrpg #scifi #kickstarter ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ‘‡

Updated the Chromatic Shadows Core Rules Kickstarter pre-launch page. Loads of new images and book details. Come take a look! #occult #cyberpunk #horror #scifi #ttrpg #indie www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...

When it comes to running "cyberpunk heists" how do you manage things procedurally? Chromatic Shadows uses a "mission phase" structure to guide the players through a series of questions and criteria. The tools exist to minimize GM handholding and empower the players to steer the course of action.

Question for you indie RPG designers who gave your game an "open license" for 3rd party content creators... how did you do it? What sort of license did you use and why?

The procedural tools in Chromatic Shadows are significant. Build a campaign web, add factional conflicts, NPCs, rolled zones and sites. Drop in procedurally created occult assets. Roll a "weird sprawl event" as an inciting incident. String it all together. Let loose in the weird haunted sprawl.

I hate to make you wait. Chromatic Shadows Core is quite far along in development. Every backer gets immediate access to the 283 pg. beta as soon as we reach the funding goal (+ all periodic updates). Hope to deliver the final PDF by early spring 2027. Support the project, please register!
