Oh wow, hi new followers! I make little TTRPGs, games about depression, and assets for All of the above! I also do a little voice work and direction on the side.
I’d appreciate if you checked out humble little page.
And I always promise,
No AI
No Bullshit
No Problem!

I'm so proud of you dude!
Check out the page to see art from him, myself, as well as other artists who contributed to this wonderful project.

In my new game ACE, I wanted to recreate some of the mechanics from the PS2 era action RPG's. Namely, combo & canceling attacks. Instead of dice you play cards and if the cards share a "suit" with your pc they explode and let you play another card. SW style. But if you get a bum card you cancel it!
Dear VRChat and other platforms toying with AI,
Every swimming pool I’ve gone to has had some kind of “Please don’t pee in the pool” policy. Now they wont catch everyone who does pee in the pool. And thats fine.
But I will never go to the pool whose policy is okay with people peeing in the pool.
I love getting emails saying that folks are downloading my games. It looks like FIST Tactics is getting some traffic on RPG-Trader if the influx of emails I'm getting are anything to go by. Please check it out if you wanna stress my email rules! rpgtrader.com/products/131...
I've been keeping a record of games people made in response to this manifesto, they're in an itch.io collection here: itch.io/c/7632694/no.... Each one is a little treasure, and usually very short, I recommend checking them out! I have also come up with a little idea.
A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game.
Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language.
I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.
I released a brand new TTRPG system a little while ago that's played with playing cards! My favorite feature is the battlemap you play on is also using playing cards! No tokens or maps needed!

I stop eating at businesses that use AI in the art/signs.
I downvote games that disclose using genAI in their creative processes.
I have responded point-blank to clients asking for me to voice in something - who admit upfront to AI placeholders - I won’t even touch it until it’s completely AI-free
Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it.
No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this".
We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now.
NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made
After 3 years of development my new game is LIVE! ANY CARD EPIC is now publicly available! To all the FIST: Tactics fans who were wondering where I ran off to for all this time? Daddy's back with gifts.
You can pick it up on Itch casnef.itch.io/any-card-epic

I'm not saying it doesn't HAPPEN, but "all weird indie TTRPGs are a kink thing" is reductive. There is also "designing RPGs to publish your worldbuilding bible", "designing RPGs because you invented a neat dice trick", "designing RPGs to win an argument", and "designing RPGs as an act of self harm".
I don’t know how to talk about my new game. I’ve never been a marketer. BUT MY FRIENDS ARE EXCITED FOR IT! I’m not used to folks checking in on dev progress.
Playtest material soon!
Turns out there was just something about the way I formatted my Og post that prevented it from posting. Separating everything out into its own post worked /shrug

Man I've missed mapping so much. Trying to recreate the Hallow Bastion's entryway in Quake.
I'm used to Hammer, but Trenchbroom makes for a fun tool. I like all its shortcuts for playing with brushes. Feels really intuitive.
I’ll never know how Scumhead releases banger after banger back to back so quickly. They’re a machine made of esoteric metal puppet meat and anime girls. I’m hype for Ringwyrm.
Ringwyrm
is an immersive action horror game with survival elements. Explore a nonlinear interconnected world, meet a large cast of memorable characters, slay sickly monstrosities and avoid myriad diseases.
Coming 2027.... wishlist below!

Sunless Dunes is a new Campaign Setting for D&D 5e inspired by medieval India, taking your table to the nation of Kasaaq within the northern deserts of the continent of Eqos, set during a time period in which steam power is beginning to shakeup old feudal ways. #dnd#fantasy#ttrpg#mythology
Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license.
This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film.

Sad to see more and more of my friends getting gated by age verification.
What are folks moving to? Any better platforms? I’m hearing things about alternative clients.
Bsky can respectfully eat my ass if it wants my ID. I still won’t give it.
