Finally, there's not many recovery cards that involve coin flips. Almost all that do only get you back 1 card, so they don't help you avoid decking out. Enter Claw Machine, which gets you 0 to 4 cards back. Worse than Super Rod... except the few times it isn't! (stock art + Pokeball by Okusu on DA)

Second, they've never printed any special Energy that interact with coin flips. So I made one! Chaos Energy can help keep the game moving along even if players are unlucky with coin flips... at a cost! (Art by... me!)

After wanting to try cube for years, I'm building a Pokémon TCG cube themed around coin flips! Got my card list mostly done, but there were a few things missing. So I made them myself! First, a revamp of the infamous Chaos Gym (art by Keiji Kinebuchi) w/ updated wording + a shuffle-back clause.

I'm not a fan of superhero stuff, but I'm trying to expand my horizons & try as many games as I can at least once.
Meet my Masks character, Gambagamba! This itsy-bitsy spider can fit so much self-loathing in him! He'll be attending the Pheonix Academy for super teens this coming semester 🕷

We'll see how this continues.

In short: Kinda
It uses a (barely) simplified version of it. Still a NINE-step headache. I wudn't do it at all if we weren't playing on Roll20, w/ char sheets that do most of those steps for you.
PTU's fidelity to the video games (where a 🤖 does all the math) is both its greatest strength & weakness

While getting my wizard fit together for spooky season and ren fair this year, I made a backup wand in case anyone gets the wrong idea of what sort of wizard I am.
"This wand EXPLODES transphobes"
Heavy metal and airbrushed vans, not racist TERF nonsense 🤟🏽🧙🏽‍♂️🪄

Heart Heist will soft-launch via zine in a few months (hopeful) w/ everything you need for your first game.
Full release will be sometime after. Besides tweaks based on feedback, it will also include a 2nd example heist, other monstrous patrons to compete for, & a guide for writing your own heists.

Project TOF 📖
Every TTRPG designer has their fantasy heartbreaker they wish they could make. This one's mine. Permanently relegated to the backburner where it should stay for a looong time, but I still poke at it from time to time. My college thesis critiquing medieval fantasy is what started it all

BIONICLE Re-Written 🧱🇵🇭
More for myself than anything, this project is an outlet for me to learn about my 🇵🇭 heritage while indulging in nostalgia for early 2000s LEGO by completely rewriting the setting w/ inspiration from pre-colonial Filipino mythology. Using a hack of the PbtA Avatar Legends game.

Heart Heist 💙🐲
Carefully balance co-op vs competition in this one-shot focused game. Collab on a heist for your group's dragon patron. Compete to be the hottest thief alive, bc only 1 of you gets to date the 🐉! Intrigue, espionage, betrayal - anything for 💙! But ⚠: If the heist fails, you all lose!
