ABOUT
My love for Table Top RPGs began when I was fourteen, and has continued to be a staple of my life into adulthood. I am constantly enamored by the collaborative narratives that such a medium brings, and find it to be one of the best vehicles of storytelling!
I have participated in a handful of game jams for table top games, and when the occasion strikes I enjoy making pixel art!Currently I am working on False Idols - a TTRPG of my own making - based around swords and sorcery theming, corrupt powers and the obscene violence often necessary to dethrone them.


You may find much of my work within the tabs below!

Game Design

I design games, mostly Rules Lite RPGs.


False Idols: Beta Edition is an early access version of my Bronze Age Fantasy RPG. In a rules lite package, if offers deep character growth, tactical combat, and easy to use remember survival mechanics.It is the kind of game where your character will get run through with a spear. Instead of recoiling in pain, your character pushes further onto the spear, grips the assailant by the throat, and snaps their neck.


The Midnight Alley is a solo journaling game, partially inspired by choose-your-own-adventure games and my own method of handling the grief of a pet I lost.You will take the point of view of your dearly departed pet, and the little adventures they have after they slip away into that midnight alley.


Motorcycle Warrior! is an RPG - Party Game hybrid. No GM, just people jumping into a bombastic time.Tokyo is rough for a teen in the distant future of 1999...By night claim gang turf in secret, then engaging in high stakes motorcycle duels that can end in instant victory or defeat.By day, you attend Central High. Snoop on your rivals, develop crush's, and other high school antics.

Pixel Art

Every now and then I get the itch to make some low res bits and bobs. Here are a few.I try to limit myself to as few colors as possible and try to stretch that by using dithering.

An earlier work in progress version.


I have been a big fan of Dune since I first read the books in high school.It was my first exposure to the concept that religion can be exploited for political gain, but certainly not the last.I really went ham with the dithering on this one, but I am very proud of the lighting effects it creates.

Here stands Paul Atreites. Usul. Muad'Dib. Mahdi. Lisan al Gaib. Padishah Emperor. Kwisatz Haderach. Liar of the most vile kind.


These were from a few years ago. Part of a larger project meant to replicate the style of old adventure games like King's Quest.
