Novels & Games
I’ve been working on a variety of novels and games for the better part of a decade - avid reading and gaming habits turned into avid writing and designing habits. In May of 2020, I published my first novel: The Long Road - A Story of the World Hereafter, and in 2021 I successfully crowdfunded and produced my first tabletop RPG: Rangers of the Midden Vale. You can learn more about these and other projects in the pipeline below, and many of them are available on the site’s shop. Check ‘em out!
Novels

The Long Road
My debut novel, inspired (of course) by series such as Mad Max and Fallout, but also by various Western franchises (film, video game, and novels alike). This story kicked around in my head for nearly a decade before I finally published it in 2020. Part 1 of 3, it details the first stage in Locke’s journey as he searches for a home for the child AJ and battles the demons of his past.

The Minutemen
The sequel to The Long Road, The Minutemen continues Locke’s story, forcing him to finally confront those he left behind in his quest for a new life. Part 2 of 3, in The Minutemen we explore more of the wasteland with Locke and learn more about the mysterious Phoenix of Mesa and his desire for fiery vengeance.

The Ghost, The Serpent, and the Wasteland
What had initially started as a writing exercise during the summer of 2021 slowly grew from a collection of short stories into a full-length novel. A prequel to The Long Road, this story details Locke’s hunt for Red Jake and details his many encounters with the Rattlesnake Gang as he seeks not only justice, but a place to call home.

Rangers of the Midden Vale
My first table-top game design project, Rangers of the Midden Vale is for 2-6 players and provides all the tools necessary for a band of intrepid Rangers to wander the harsh wilderness of the Midden Vale in search of monsters to vanquish and mysteries to uncover. Originally conceived as a Knave hack, it is an OSR/E-adjacent role-playing game.

NUKED!
My second foray into table-top game design, NUKED! is a hack of Ben Milton’s Knave, taking the fantasy game and putting in a post-apocalyptic setting. Players take on the role of Skrappers and set out into the wasteland in search of pre-Blast treasure, encountering all manner of dangers and oddities along the way.

Bullets & Bourbon: Reloaded
Technically this game predates Rangers of the Midden Vale by a good few years, but it took considerably longer for everything to come together. This card-based TTRPG puts players in the boots of Cowpokes working together to survive the harsh Jefferson Territory. Players can get involved in a little bit of good, a little bit of bad, or maybe a little bit of both.

The Elkheart's Curse - A Cairn Adventure
Elkheart's Curse is an adventure for Cairn and was written as part of Yochai Gal’s “A Town, A Forest, a Dungeon” jam. The PCs are tasked with solving a mystery before the village of Bridge-Over-Kells is destroyed by a vengeful forest spirit. I’ve had a lot of fun writing and running it, and I hope you enjoy playing it!
