And I've also written four adventures compatible with both books but mainly for Those Dark Places.

I've fully written a third book in this series using the same ruleset as Those Dark Places but changing the sci-fi setting to a 19th century tall ship one - 'A Dark Star To Steer By' is about clippers in the 1860s onwards in the same horrific situations, is 27k words long and just needs a publisher.

With my work for the ALIEN RPG and other big stuff that's in motion I try not to forget the two books that got me attention in the first place - 'Those Dark Places' and 'Pressure'.
I wrote Those Dark Places in 2018 because I wanted a TTRPG I could run games like ALIEN, Dead Space, Moon and Outland!

I wrote 'Legacy of Blood' for this game back in 2021. It's a lot of fun to design for.

Just picked up the most recent adventure modules for Against The Darkmaster, one of my favourite fantasy TTRPGs to hit the shelves over the last ten years.
Open Ended Games have improved on one of my favourite clunky games, MERP. I think it's excellent.

The spinoff game set in the same city and at the same time was an investigative (kind of) based game. Lots of the same players from the other game.

It was set in Albany, NY (where I lived/had lived) and vaguely used some real world stuff. None of the players were from the area, the joy of IRC. It started with 4 or 5 PCs that were students at SUNY Albany. By the end I'm not even sure any of the characters were college students any more.

Back when I used to run games online via IRC I ran a several year long Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign. By the end none of the original players were with the campaign any more. I'd run a second couple year long game set in the same city and a wild west set game in the same universe.

“A Cultural History of Higher Learning” – this massive work in six volumes is today published by Bloomsbury. Spanning 2,500 years, 67 scholars chart the dynamics of higher learning across the centuries. I am glad to have contributed a chapter on the history of disciplines in the 20th century.

I thought it would be a fun, immersive touch if after each session of the first chapter of Impossible Landscapes, we pick a song from 1995 that captures the mood or vibe of the players experiences. A kind of soundtrack echoing from the real world, bleeding in.🤘🏻
