I'm building tools and adventures that bridge OSR dungeon crawling with narrative mystery games.
I started playing in 1978 with 1e AD&D but stepped away when my kids were young and came back to gaming about a decade ago. These days, I'm exploring what happens when the tactical stakes of old-school play meet the collaborative investigation of Carved from Brindlewood.
Some of my work stays pure OSR (spell research, class options, magic items). Some of it pushes into narrative territory (mysteries, consequence training, collaborative dungeons). Most of it lives somewhere in between.

CURRENT WORK: BENEATH AHKNOOR
A megadungeon you discover, not follow.
Beneath Ahknoor is my main project right now. It's an OSR-flavored megadungeon for Carved from Brindlewood where every level is a mystery to solve. No pre-written map. Collaborative discovery. Every time you go deeper, the dungeon erodes your self.
Free playtest available now. Paid expanded version (0.6) launches April 2026.

GM TRAINING: IT'S WORSE THAN THAT!
Practice making consequences matter. Each volume is a collection of scenarios that uses a specific mechanic from a game to teach you to escalate tension and improvise under pressure.
Designed for narrative game GMs, but the skills carry to any system where choices carry weight.
Winter 2025 ($1) - Two dozen scenarios for improvising consequences with CfB's Night Move mechanic

Coming April 2026: Volume 2 focuses entirely on Devil's Bargains.

Old-school Supplements
I'm creating a set of supplements focusing on PC classes and abilities in AD&D, but easy to adapt to the old-school game of your choice. There are community copies available for each of these zines, and each purchase makes more free copies...

I'm working on content for other games as well.
