#TTRPGMaker Day 8 and 9: Routine and Process

April 10, 2018

These are very similar questions. My freelancing routine isn’t much of a routine. As a general rule, though, on a week night, after dinner I settle into my messy desk with a big glass of water and maybe some scotch, fire up the laptop, and look at what needs to be done. Then I write. […]

#AprilTTRPGMaker Day 7: Your Workspace

April 7, 2018

Oh, this one is an embarrassment. I work in a home office, which is also a crafting space, and which is abysmally messy, and has been since I moved in. I’m not a tidy person to begin with, but the main problem is that I have way too much stuff to accommodate my various interests. […]

My favorite game that I’ve worked on is Timewatch— I contributed to the Book of Changing Years, which is a fluff […]

#AprilTTRPGMaker: Days 3 and 4

April 4, 2018April 4, 2018

Day 3: How did you start? I made campaigns for my D&D groups. Sometimes, they were good. Usually they were terrible. I still have several binders and folders of them, and this map I was working on for one campaign (Tabula Rasa– the PCs wake up with lots of history, but no memories), which ended […]
