Hello! Two things:
1) I've mailed out all the packages including Uncanny Rally, Big Bang Superstars and Cluedon't - UK people should have 'em by today, and everyone else should receive them within the next fortnight.
2) This month's game may be a little late. It'll still arrive in Sep...
2021-09-17 09:47:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
Quick update: For those of you who get physical copies of the games, I've just sent off Uncanny Rally, Big Bang Superstars and Cluedon't off to Mixam. I should get the prints next week!
Sasha had two ideas for roleplaying games: something about ADD and something about ...
2021-08-20 16:09:38 +0000 UTC View PostCreating games with other designers has been an interesting experience, and the most interesting part of it so far has been trying to keep up with Chloe Mashiter's tremendous, no-brakes-downhill, feverish trumpet solo of a mind. ...

2021-06-24 12:54:03 +0000 UTC View PostHELLO AND WELCOME to my first of twelve collaborations - a game I made with Chris McDowall about trying to talk normally whilst being unable to talk normally and, if you do something weird, your arm turns into a big cannon which causes problems at your new job. Something which we all have experie...
2021-05-20 15:53:14 +0000 UTC View PostTo physical backers: I'm sorry that I haven't sent out the paper copies of the games for the last three months yet. All the back pages are done but I'm going to send out all four of them later on this month - Once Upon a Crime, Predestined, Administrative Carnage and FETCH, which is attached belo...
2021-04-15 09:28:34 +0000 UTC View PostRight, so:
I've been doing this "one game a month" malarkey for five years, now. I've only missed one month out of the many available - two months, if you count the 20,000-word Adventure Calendar as missing a month, which I don't, so there. I'm up to 52 or so.
I often joke that ...
2021-04-05 10:09:52 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a sequel, of sorts, to NICE MARINES - in this you play a group of assistants, gofers and general dogsbodies for a Space Marine who's stomping about doing a battle. It's kind of a cross between Warhammer and Paranoia, both of which I obviously have a fondness for.
I hope you have fun...
2021-03-19 18:33:36 +0000 UTC View PostTwenty-one years after the release of the first film and a FULL DECADE after the most recent installment came out, I've just now worked out how to make Final Destination into a game. Excellent timing, Grant.
Hope you like it - it's very straightforward, very few moving parts, and mainly des...
2021-02-22 11:39:41 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
Please enjoy this game, a sort of focused evolution of Trashkin I suppose, where you play objectionable bastards who are invading a charming fairytale kingdom to try and steal as much as they can. The more you steal, the more powerful you become (but the more trouble you can ge...
2021-01-11 12:13:53 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a long time since I've done an Animal Crime game. This might be my last one. I hope you like it - you're a bird who intends to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, and if you need any more impetus to read the game, you're on the wrong Patreon.
Much love,

2020-11-23 13:01:24 +0000 UTC View PostFans of my work will recognise the core of this game is Honey Heist (I even wrote it at the top in case non-fans of my work see it) - and I have a few reasons for that.
1) I've never worked with the Honey Heist rules-set before! It's fun, and I felt like it worked well for this.
2) I ...

2020-09-22 13:59:55 +0000 UTC View PostI read INTO THE WYRD AND WILD last week (again) and I felt inspired by it - I wanted to make something similar but smaller, about a specific location and the broken humans that inhabit it.
A lot of my games are about concepts that can be maneuvered into a variety of locations and this...
2020-08-24 12:17:29 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to write a game about being 15.
Then I put goblins in it because you need to keep things like that at arm's length, you know?
Anyway.

2020-05-29 10:21:48 +0000 UTC View PostSpace Marines: eternally popular. But why do we only get to see them do WAR stuff? In NICE MARINES, you play Space Marines tasked with minor diplomatic tasks - but you can't help but destroy almost everything you touch. It's either a stark and enlightening commentary on the military-industrial co...
2020-05-21 16:25:53 +0000 UTC View PostSomething of an experiment, this one - I wanted to see if I could saw off the Resistance System (the one that Chris and I wrote that powers Heart and Spire) into a single page, and also stick some setting in there too.
Sepulchre is a testament to my ability to make paragraphs as small...
2020-04-17 15:10:33 +0000 UTC View PostChris and I collaborated on this one; I hope you like it. It was originally intended as a means of running rules-lite prologue games of Delta Green, but we gave it it's own setting when we released it as a one-pager.
It's... brutal. You get worse and more fragile the longer the game g...

2020-02-10 17:02:32 +0000 UTC View PostIt's January, so of course I wrote a game that takes place in August.
This is an attempt to create something softer than my usual stuff - even the anti-establishment stuff is gentle compared to, say, Goat Crashers or Kobold Endeavour. WIDOMH (great acronym Grant) is designed to emulate kids...

2019-12-07 09:11:57 +0000 UTC View PostIn this game you play either a vampire or a mortal and, basically, you have terrible relationships with one another. It's written fairly straight, in as much as I haven't written much in the way of explicit gags into the text - I think that the drama and humour will arise naturally out of play. I...
2019-11-20 15:36:59 +0000 UTC View PostA horror game about scouts!
We wanted to do this one as a LARP, ages and ages ago, mainly because pretty much all LARPs are run at scout campsites anyway so it felt like a good fit. We never got past the planning stage, so: now it's a one-page horror game.
Oh, and GM: try ...

You probably know about it already.
