Hellrunners is now out in PDF! Hellrunners is a tabletop RPG about speedrunners glitching and breaking the metaphysical rules of reality the same way they break the rules of videogames. Use a death warp to get into the afterlife, use an item duplication glitch, get arbitrary prayer execution via a data overflow, find the soul of Karl Marx, perform a necromantic ritual, and use a wrong warp to get back out again! Get it now on itch.io or DriveThruRPG! The second piece of news is that I've started up a Discord server for people to talk about any of my games, post stories, or to look for o ..read more

Hellrunners: Hellrunners is a game about breaking the rules of reality and the afterlife the same way speedrunners break the rules of videogames. You take on the roles of: The Client, who has a mission; The Runner, who knows the tricks to get to hell and back; The Damned, who suffer in torment; and The Crowns of Hell, who play the devils, angels, cops, and bosses who keep the system of suffering going. Based on Dante's Divine Comedy, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Graeber's Bullshit Jobs and Utopia of Rules, this is a small easy-to-pick-up and quick-playing RPG for ..read more

Hey Strike! fans, things are busy here at Strike! HQ. I'm just typing this post to let you know all the things we're working on. For Ariadne and Bob, we're just waiting on proofs to get the physical copies ready to go. Everything else is done. The next big project is Tailfeathers, a magical school, with spells and potions and adorable little familiars. Tailfeathers is the first school we're publishing for Kazzam! Kazzam is a magical sport that combines Strike's tactical combat with some elements from capture the flag and neutral creeps like in Warcraft 3. We've been playtesting it for a whil ..read more

​Ariadne and Bob started when WotC released their Rick and Morty D&D set. I thought to myself "that is a TERRIBLE match. That system will not prompt the types of adventures they have on that show." And I tried to think of what would be a really good match and came up dry… this is a problem that I can solve! First up, they have a new weird sci-fi premise every episode. Easy. Just make some tables that let you generate stuff like “A ______ that makes _______”.  “A portal that makes you de-age” or “A glove that makes things shrink.” The hard part is getting Rick to work. What’s t ..read more

Ariadne and Bob is on Kickstarter now! Ariadne and Bob is a 2+ player roleplaying game about a know-it-all and her trusty sidekick going on adventures and getting in trouble. Ariadne can be condescending at times, but her ego is not entirely undeserved. Bob is Ariadne's long-suffering partner. The Pinky to her Brain, Morty to her Rick, the Sherman to her Peabody, etc. This game is an absolute blast to play, and it requires no prep at all. My group has been playing it whenever we have an absence from our main game, and it's perfect. We can bust it out on short notice, it works great with ..read more

In the end of October, I wrote a post about my 2 year old daughter, Thalia, and her treatment for stage four neuroblastoma, a common childhood cancer. Thalia was diagnosed in Jan this year and has received such amazing treatment from our pediatric hospital here in Toronto, The Hospital for Sick Children, informally known as SickKids.  I put out the call to all of you to help me raise funds throughout November to make a donation to support SickKids, so they can continue to give impeccable care to children like Thalia. And you blew us away.  In November, I received $282 ..read more

Hey, just posting to update everyone on how things are going so far with the fundraiser. As of now I've made $238USD from direct PDF sales on the website and $227USD from drivethru. In addition, I received $50CAD to donate along with the rest of the money. And one person donated $100 themselves. So all together, we are around $750CAD! That's pretty great, I think! There is still time - you have just over a week before the end of the month to get in on this. Let's see if we can break $1000! In case this is the first you're hearing about this fundraiser, you can buy PDFs on my website: www ..read more
