I want to wish you all a happy new year and to express so much gratitude for the support you've given me during this tough time. I'm unbelievably excited to have finally released Paradise Mountain! It's honestly a huge relief to have released it by the end of last year (my goal) and I am over the...

Last night, I received the first draft of the Paradise Mountain zine from Will and it looks AMAZING! I've sent him back my feedback and we will likely be ready to launch the zine before the new year!
For you Champion patrons, I want to try something different regarding distribution. I am cu...

That is all.
Seriously. This will hopefully be ready soon!
2021-12-14 23:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostI've been hard at work on the youxia class and have found a publisher and co-author to work on it with me (don't worry, you still get it for free)! One of the challenges has been not only designing the class, but also coming up with gameplay tools to help give D&D adventures align with Chines...
2021-12-05 19:03:34 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the silence. Currently dealing with some family and mental health issues right now. Work is going well and I'm prioritizing my health. Excited to bring you something big soon!

Another preview! Will is going to be laying down the structure of the rest of the mountain soon! I'm confident that before the end of the month, we'll have a full PDF preview available for you folks!
2021-11-11 03:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostI hope you enjoy this little contextual preview of the youxia. I'm currently in the process of finalizing a couple of sections (martial arts techniques, setting recommendations, and optional rules for qi) before I can have a complete draft ready for $3 patrons to playtest! Before that...

The youxia class is slowly taking form! My goal is to have a working preview for $3 patrons to help playtest by the end of the year! Of course, when I finally release it, the PDF tier patrons will receive a free copy!

I'm 2,500 words deep into this class (with optional rules, cultural context, etc.), but I couldn't wait to share a draft of the art!

2021-10-22 18:41:24 +0000 UTC View PostWhile I wait for Will to get back to me on the Paradise Mountain document, I've started working on other aspects of the Yue setting. For my home game, a player may end up shifting away from a class completely (either by choice or death). In an inspired creative burst, I started drafting an ENTIRE...

The art for Paradise Mountain is looking AMAZING! I'm really into the minimalist style Will has been doing. It's been great being able to provide guidance and direct the process!
I think we'll have an update in a week and a half!

Hey everyone! Here's a video update on the Chronicles of Spring & Autumn project, my MilaNote board, and some early insights into the mechanical considerations I'm taking with the martial arts world within Yue.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share this sketch that Will sent me of Paradise Mountain. It's an early draft and we're working together on the positioning of landmarks, visual clarity, and more! I'm so excited for this to (hopefully) come out next month!

2021-09-23 00:54:14 +0000 UTC View PostIn between a lot of my freelance work, I've been working on creating a backstory for Yue and playtesting the return of the Flame Emperor with my home group (they don't know it yet). Here's a bit of a teaser!

Hey everyone! The Paradise Mountain text has been sent to the graphic designer. I suspect that a draft will be available within the next month! While that work is being done, I'm focusing my attention on some higher level details on Yue and writing a second region. I've fleshed out the "Yue Court...
2021-08-29 00:39:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt's DONE! Well, at least a complete draft. I've finally finished the first draft of a micro-setting within my mini-setting (does that make sense?) for the Yue Empire!
My hopes are that I'll be able to get a map made by my artist by the end of the month! I'm going to put this together into ...

I LOVE Neill Blomkamp's work and this looks absolutely awesome! It's stuff like this that draws me away from Chronicles of Spring & Autumn!

Wicked Congregation is at the top(?) of the Top Sellers list on Itch.io! Well, at least I think I'm interpreting that correctly?
