I recorded both of these over the past couple of weeks. Parts two and three of my example making a city with Crooked Alleys. Part two is sitting around giving things names, and part three is an overview of why I put stuff in different places on the map that I threw together. Read more
While working to deliver No Honor Among Thieves and playtesting Station Nine, I’ve also been working on a tabletop game book with random tables, rules, and advice for running games of criminals in fantasy cities. I’ve decided on a name now, after my earlier troubles with the subject, and the book itself is almost finished, […] Read more
At the request of certain backers who prefer to learn how to play a game from someone explaining it to them rather than reading the rulebook, I’ve put together a set of how-to-play videos for No Honor Among Thieves. They’re a lot longer than I expected they’d be, because as I was making them I […] Read more
In May 2014 I was in the shower in my college apartment a week or two before graduation, thinking about card games and the books I’d been reading lately. While I was cleaning off I had an idea for the basic mechanics of a card game about fantasy heists with similar themes to the book […] Read more
I am, it turns out, super bad at naming things. Or super good, maybe, seeing as the issue is that other people keep having the same ideas. Great minds supposedly think alike, after all. Back when I was developing No Honor Among Thieves, I ran into a bit of a problem where someone else started […] Read more
The sandbox Deadlands game that I was running in the fictional territory of San Marcho has come to its conclusion, and its successor–a D&D 5e game being run by my friend Peter–has begun.

Last week, I ran a poll asking people which of the projects I’ve been working on they’d be interested in, because I’m basically just waiting on the manufacturer to move forward with No Honor Among Thieves right now and figured I could put a little time into something else. I put five of my project […] Read more
This month is mostly going to be waiting on the manufacturer for No Honor Among Thieves, so I figured I could spend that time working on something else. I’ve got a number of things I’ve been stirring up, but to make sure I’m on the right track I wanted to put up a survey to ask people […] Read more
In my previous post, I promised that I would write up something about art directing and dealing with freelancers. I’ve got all my illustrations for No Honor Among Thieves at this point, and am in the process of getting things sent to the manufacturer for them to do their part, so I figured now would be […] Read more
I’ve got Shadowrun on the brain again. A friend of mine who is putting a character together asked for an overview of all the different ammo types in the game, and on my last Shadowrun Armory post someone asked me if I was ever going to get around to talking about grenade launchers, so once again, […] Read more
