I created my first game using Lincoln Logs and Star Wars action figures. My friends liked it, and I soon created more and made a few more games. Looking at my life, I see I have.

With Rogue Games, I publish Colonial Gothic and a few others.
Work in progress.

Final review and then to the printer. From there, the December release.

Here are the hardcover and softcover versions of both books. After all backers get their rewards, they will be available for sale at DriveThruRPG.

Retail will be hardcover for the Rulebook and softcover for the Guidebook.

I'll have news about the Kickstarter rewards soon.

All five editions in a row.

How far it has come.

Growth, time, content, and platforms

Or, what in the Hell is better, Substack or Patreon, when it comes to paid content?

When I was younger, I remember the first time my friends and I played Paranoia. It was the first edition, and it did not click. The second edition did click with us, and it was in the rotation of what we played. I've played every edition, but for me, the second is the best version.

For me, the first edition of BESM was the purest form of the game. It was short, quick to learn, and perfectly captured the genre. I used the rules to run a Star Wars game and a WFRP game as well. Too bad the creator is a thief.

Though BECMI D&D has always been my go-to version of Dungeons & Dragons, there is one game that, hands down, is my favorite fantasy game. That game? Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play. There is no other game like this—all other editions of this game pale in comparison.

I love all three Pacesetter RPGs. Chill, however, is my favorite of the three. This is my favorite horror game, and I will choose it over Call of Cthulhu any time I want to run or play in the horror genre.

One of the latest sketches I received for Colonial Gothic's profession chapter.

When I decided to do Colonial Gothic fourth edition, I knew I wanted to give the game a fresh look. Seeing this sketch reassures me that it was the right decision.

Let's post an image from Colonial Gothic 4E. Enjoy.

So, I posted this in this week's update on Kickstarter, but I wanted to share it here.

Kitchen experiment time.

A homemade McDonald's Sausage McMuffin®.

Yeah, I was bored.

Mine tastes better.
