Freelance writer and publisher. Avid ttrpg gamer, disc golfer, and wrassl'n fan. Watch me struggle updating a website: https://paroxysmbydesign.com/ I mostly make light crunch rpgs. Trying to perfect the drama to crunch ratio!
Thanks to everyone at the Raspy that helped playtest AND where I get to run it again this Sunday! Paul was incredibly kind to give us the time for an awards show and make comments.

Writing adventures is truly my favorite RPG thing. Time to start working on my gothic horror for next November!!

Three hearts; one broken, one lonely, and one guilty. Are the keys to uncovering the conspiracy behind the tragic grist mill inferno and the mysterious happenings threatening this year's fall harvest festival in 1836.

An experiment in compatibility with Carved from Brindlewood.

Ran session 0 for #BrindlewoodBay just for a funzies one shot playing the All Halloween Scream. The group had so much fun they voted to record it. With high hopes to play in a full campaign.

We'll see how my other projects are going but has been a blast so far!

The best comment I got all weekend was in response to Goblyn Market. They loved the simple system that provided them with several moments to cheer or boo.

I play tested disasters to play like twists from Honorbound which felt really good. It really planted the seed to focus on a 2nd edition.
