My Published Works on Amazon
I’m excited to share that my tabletop gaming books are now available on Amazon!
About My Work
I specialize in creating old-school gaming materials that celebrate and preserve the history of tabletop roleplaying and miniature wargaming. My work focuses on authentic recreations and clones of early gaming systems from the 1970s.
My published titles include:
- Dragons Beyond - A faithful clone of the 1973 draft rules for Original D&D
- Men in Metal - A clone of the original Wargames Research Group (WRG) v1 & v2 medieval miniatures rules
- Midwest Fantasy Wargame: The Primeval RPG - A recreation of the Twin Cities gaming style from 1972
- The Mage’s Companion and other supplements for old-school gaming

Similar to 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, I would like to take a few moments to reflect on the books that I have read. However, this year was devoted to personal losses, and rediscovering an old hobby in a new form. Here are the titles I read / took notes on during 2022. My final count was 24, down from 2021 when I completed 29.

Similar to 2017, 2018, and 2019, I would like to take a few moments to reflect on my effort to continue my education. Here are the titles I read / took notes on during 2020. This does not count the many of the presentations, webinars, and documentaries consumed as part of my daily work. My final count was 31, down from 2019 when I completed 42; however, I did also read 59 Kindle samples and I’ve skimmed or read in detail another 64 items off DriveThruRPG. By way of comparison, in 2018 I completed 28 titles and in 2017 I completed 29. There is a thing as too much reading and I think I reached my saturation point this year.

Similar to 2017 and 2018, I would like to take a few moments to reflect on my effort to continue my education. Here are the titles I read / took notes on during 2019. This does not count the many of the presentations, webinars, and documentaries consumed as part of my daily work, though I am counting the many lectures of Dr. Alan Watts and Terrence McKenna as at least two audiobooks. My final count was 42, which is more than 2018 when I completed 28 titles and 2017 when I completed 29. The audio books really helped boost my total.
