See this wonderful #TTRPG? It can be all yours on Black Friday. 😉

And if your bank balance is as questionable as mine is, you can grab the free version and try the game for yourself at no risk.

Alternatively, if you LOVE taking risks, that theme will be available as DLC!

After I finish my #TTRPG Vibe Check, I'll get back to finishing my other unfinished projects, including these.

And after that, I'll make the final intro video for my game Redshifted and we can all play a lovely sci-fi game together! Yay!

I made a heist map for an upcoming #TTRPG session by screenshotting one of the Payday 2 bank maps and making notes on it.

My final playtest for my #TTRPG Vibe Check is on November 21st, and as a treat for helping me out, I'm putting my friends into a team vs. team arena battle for the ultimate test of this game's competitive PVP mode.

See you on November 28th (Black Friday) for the game's release on DriveThruRPG!

Coming soon to a #TTRPG supplement near you:
Witch – Plague of Chickens: Your Hex remains on your target for 1 minute after you stop concentrating on it. During this time, you can use your bonus action to resume concentration on the spell. If you cast Hex on a new target, your other Hexes vanish. At the beginning of your turn, if a creature is hexed by you, an exploding chicken appears in an empty space within 5 feet of you provided the number of exploding chickens you currently have summoned is less than your proficiency bonus. When an exploding chicken is dealt damage, it explodes, dealing Xd6 fire damage to everything within 5 feet of it, where X is your proficiency bonus. Creatures can attempt a Dexterity saving throw against your spell saving throw DC to take only half damage. Exploding chickens are otherwise identical to ordinary chickens.

Nemeia (art by @nsfwtael.bsky.social) is THE quintessential cum slut. She loves it; as much as she can get, and she wants it all over her. Absolutely insatiable.

Demons, I tell you...

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want!

(All in all, maybe not the best first sentence ever written, but this is just a first draft)
Prologue: The Meaning of Love “My name is Kathuza. My girlfriend Sa’rak and I are not good people. She’s a succubus, a cleric of the demon lord Graz’zt, and her job is to corrupt churches to his cause. I’m a human gifted with psionic abilities, working for the Black Cult of Ahm. The cult studies the Abyss, and I help them by hunting down the Black Scrolls that have been scattered across the planes. I buy them, trade for them, or steal them. It doesn’t matter as long as I can get them. I’ve killed people for them, and I don’t regret it.”

1. My entallagi (insect people) because I made them and I'm biased.

Check out my gorgeous entallagi queen and OC Kirani.

My silly #DnD #fanfiction looks so much better with formatting and I am so proud of myself.

Got another 8,000 words done this week, too! 🙂
The first page of the prologue of a Dungeons and Dragons fanfiction novel, in which a human man named Kathuza writes in his journal about his relationship with his succubus girlfriend Sa'rak, and the challenges in keeping the relationship secret from his employer. The image shows off new formatting with a dark brown background and light orange and pale yellow text, intended to evoke the feeling of a candle shining in the dark.

My #TTRPG VIBE CHECK, featuring the "impossible" combination of streamlined systems AND deep character customization, will release on Black Friday for $5.00 on DriveThruRPG!

Two extra themes will be available as DLC, plus a FREE VERSION of the game for anyone looking to try before they buy!
DO YOU FALL ASLEEP WAITING FOR YOUR TURN? VIBE CHECK PLAYERS DON’T HAVE THAT ISSUE! You deserve better than clunky mechanics, complex dice rolls, and character restrictions slowing things down at the table. That’s why Vibe Check is optimized for maximum fun with minimum effort right out of the gate. Learning the rules?? Takes all of ten minutes. Character builds?? 525 combinations at level 1, and the only reason it takes more than one minute to make a character is because they all look so cool! Rolling dice?? We only do that once per fight. Initiative order?? Your team chooses their own. If you want a game where you can grab your friends and jump right into the action, Vibe Check is the perfect game for you! REASONS WHY YOU NEED THIS GAME INCLUDE: • No stats to memorize; no excessive dice rolls! Make the RPG protagonist you’ve dreamed of or your favorite OC in minutes! • 5 roles, 15 themes, and over 150 abilities let you make character builds ranging from standard RPG fare to unhinged nonsense that no other game will allow! • Make your own strategy and combos! Work with your friends and defeat enemies using guns, swords, magic spells, telekinetic trash compactors, pools of acid, good old rock and roll, angry squirrels, supernovas… • A fully-developed cooking system because my friend Alice made me add one to the game. • Countless hours of fun filled with awesome teamwork, exciting battles, and hilarious interactions. • The best $5.00 you’ve ever spent on a game. VIBE CHECK November 28, 2025 Mark your calendars!

MY UPCOMING #TTRPG PROJECTS!!!

October: My Revenant class for #DnD 5e, where the game starts with your character already dead! (See image 1)

November: My original game Vibe Check, which combines high character customization with streamlined mechanics for tons of silly gameplay! (See image 2)
Revenant You died, but death was not the end for you. Tormented and weakened, your spirit lives on, and though much of you is missing, your will to carry on, whether through a desire for revenge or duty to see an old mission done, stays with you. Your road to recovery is a long and slow one. Along the way, you will need to master new abilities born from your new powers over death and spirits. In time, you will add more of these new abilities to your arsenal, and if you survive long enough, perhaps a piece of who and what you used to be will rejoin you as well. Multiclassing Requirements: To multiclass out of this class, you need a Constitution or Wisdom score of at least 13. To multiclass into this class, you need to have a Constitution or Wisdom score of at least 13 at the time of your unfortunate death, as well as have unfinished business. At your Game Master’s discretion, you may multiclass into this class when you die by replacing one or more of your existing class levels with revenant levels. DO YOU FALL ASLEEP WAITING FOR YOUR TURN? VIBE CHECK PLAYERS DON’T HAVE THAT ISSUE! You deserve better than clunky mechanics, complex dice rolls, and character restrictions slowing things down at the table. That’s why Vibe Check is optimized for maximum fun with minimum effort right out of the gate. Learning the rules?? Takes all of ten minutes. Character builds?? 525 combinations at level 1, and the only reason it takes more than one minute to make a character is because they all look so cool! Rolling dice?? We only do that once per fight.

Work with your friends and defeat enemies using guns, swords, magic spells, telekinetic trash compactors, pools of acid, good old rock and roll, forklifts, property taxes, slot machines, angry squirrels, supernovas… • A fully-developed cooking system because my friend Alice made me add one to the game. • Countless hours of fun filled with awesome teamwork, exciting battles, and hilarious interactions. • The best $5.00 you’ve ever spent on a game.
