I love tables so much I pack tables inside of tables!

Hands up who likes a good random table.

I do not own the copyright to the document. I was sent the physical pages in 1994 and I scanned it for my use. Even the video I'm not 100% comfortable with, but I believe my use in that instance is transformative, which eases my concerns.

If you check the video, you'll see that I scanned the document and share it in such a way you can pause and read.

Same! I love finding old memos, internal documents, and obscure zines. Always a blast and I often learn something.

I've been sitting on the West End Games Star Wars RPG Style Guide for over thirty years. I've now scanned the document and created a video showing all 59 pages. I hope this helps more fans of the game get a look at some behind-the-scenes documentation. youtu.be/GsW1MGpXu4M?...

I've wrapped up a dungeon card deck that includes map cards, prompts, and encounters. The campaign is set to launch next week, and I completed a short video about it today: youtu.be/3_MB0EM1ni4?...

In today's news, I've been asked to join Kickstarter's Community Advisory Council. I said yes. I'm making it my job to advocate for indie creators (regardless of industry) and do what I can push for tools that will help the small guys.

Yesterday, I launched my latest project on Kickstarter. What's up this time? I've created mini-supplements for the Star Borg RPG . . . and we've met the goal! Up next? That pesky stretch goal to add a third booklet to the campaign. Fingers crossed! www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

Do you want more support for the Star Borg RPG by @jpcoovert.bsky.social? I've got two zines now funding on Kickstarter! I handled both the writing and art on these, and I had a lot of fun playing in the Star Borg toy box. www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

Samples of my new board book RPG, Dank & Dark, have landed and look incredible! We'll have the entire print run in a few months, after the books finish swimming across the ocean.

Wow. 11 years ago, my son Rory, then age 7 breathlessly delivered the rules of this game from the back of the car.

We then made it. Nice.

He’s 18 now, and we really should do an anniversary edition.

I know I'm a little bit biased, but I think my 7 year old just verbally designed a really good little card game.
It's for a licensed property, but I think it's potentially a good enough game that it'd stand a reskin. l've ordered some blank cards and we'll prototype and play it. Who knows, might put it up on drivethrucards eventually if it works as well as I think it might.
I'm slightly boggled that he just trotted it out as something he'd "been thinking about". We do talk about making games quite a lot. But yeah. Wow. A photo of the completed game: The Forest Dragon by Rory Age 9. The cover is a child’s drawing of a green dragon looming over some jagged rocks or mountains, facing off against a small adventurer holding their sword above their head.

Unwelcome Opportunities is my new card deck for the Cy_Borg RPG. 50 double-sided cards, every single one an adventure prompt for the GM or for solo sessions. The campaign ends later today, and the rewards will go out to backers before the end of the month. www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

I decided to post this as stock art at DriveThruRPG. Pay what you want, as little as $0. I created the line art in Procreate, printed it, painted over it, then took it back into Procreate for more digital work. You can find this and more of my work at

I absolutely love to write tables, especially rumors and encounter hooks. It's fun to place tiny bread crumbs here and there to interconnect everything. My favorite type of RPG writing isn't rules or big, world-shaking stuff. It's the little things that can inspire a GM without tying their hands.

That would be a pretty cool piece of history to uncover. I don't think I have any notes from that project.
