Micro GM-Emulator

Micro GM-Emulator

Heya, my wonderful patrons, 

I trust the weekend treated you well as the holiday draws to a close (at least in this neck of the woods). During the past week, I focused a bit on playtesting new additions to my swingy (I like swingy) d6 micro-GM emulator system, a staple in my own Solo/GMless pick-up games and the pamphlet adventures I'...

Mythic Starters VII - Tales from the Gnarly Stump

Hello, my lovely patrons!

With all the bad weather we are having in the Netherlands at the moment, I am very much enjoying starting up some mini-campaigns. One of which is a GM-less Underdark game I’m running with my son, and the other one is some experiments with starter seeds for Mythic in the style of my 2023-08-02 14:40:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Watchtower on the Frozen Frontier

Hello, my lovely patrons,

Hope you are all doing splendidly, and that you have a chance to fill your summer break with some fun gaming. While prepping for a solo game last week, I had no clear idea of a setting to play in. For me, figuring out what makes a campaign setting tick is a fun part of solo gaming, because I have the time to explo...

Hello, my incredible patrons, and thank you all for your kind words of encouragement and reassurance during my long absence. After what feels like a long and arduous journey back to a semblance of normalcy in my life, it is good (and a relief) to feel my creative juices returning again.

I now find myself with both time and opportunity to r...

Billing cycle paused this month

Heya everyone,

You might have noticed that I have not been as active (as I would have liked) this past month with uploads. Unfortunately, this is because I am dealing with a personal issue that is causing me heaps of stress.

I decided it would be fairer to pause my billing cycle for a bit this month. This will give me some breathing ...

God's End - Planar Punk

Heya, everyone!

I received some requests lately to expand a little on Planar Punk, which is a 24xx game jam entry I made a while ago. Planar Punk was basically a little love letter to Planescape, combining it with a bit of a punk vibe.

I think all the 24XX micro-systems are great to use in solo play,...

Heya, everyone,

The freeform aspect of solo roleplaying has always fascinated me for its ability to create an interesting story out of thin air with a few die rolls. I think there is something profoundly exciting to trying to answer that 'What Happens Next' question.
