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
• Trouble Aboard Station Brown - A Braunstein-style science fiction game with three factions: Earthlings, Martians, and Uranians (name your own price on itch.io)
• The Mage’s Companion and other supplements for old-school gaming

Yes, work continues in the background

The catalog of things that I have published for Dragons Beyond is considerable. No print on demand yet though. If any of you have any feedback, please leave a review, join the community and post, or hop on my discord. I am likely to publish The Usual Monsters soon which will cover all of the monsters referenced in OD&D (plus its supplements). The Usual Monsters also has some additional magic items, combat options, and fully revised wilderness and underground encounter tables. I’ve recently used both Dragons Beyond and The Usual Monsters to help prep for a solo campaign for a game called Aketon.

All the good news around this wargame

Men in Metal is a restatement of the Wargames Research Group miniature wargaming rules from 1969 - 1970 (plus their Medieval Supplement). Men in Metal is available on WargameVault, DriveThruRPG, and Amazon.

The catalog of things that I have published, am in the process of getting polished or playtested, and my social media usage around Men in Metal is considerable. If any of you have any feedback, please leave a review, join the community and post, or hop on my discord. I am likely to publish army lists soon based on the WRG version 6 sets for the dark ages / medieval period. Click here for a flip through of this book of army lists.

Look at these beautiful dice. The black and red twenty-siders are actually 0 - 9 twice over (once with filled in numbers and once open). The original percentile dice rolled in the Blackmoor and Greyhawk campaigns were likely of this type. I prefer the way these roll compared to the standard d10 which is not a platonic solid. Much like I prefer rolling a twelve-sided die that is actually numbered I, II, III, IV thrice over.

Naval gazing at naval warfare in D&D. Also, the fastest way to mop up excess liquidity in your campaign.

Introduction

In August 2022 I went down quite a rabbit hole trying to reconcile the OSE, Cook Expert, 1st edition DMG + PHB, 2nd edition DMG + PHB, CHAINMAIL, and original Dungeons & Dragons descriptions and pricing for all of the various ships, land transport types, and troop types….then boil it down to something simple, usable, and somewhat tied to historical references. I did make good progress, but then stopped developing this product (Heroes in Hulks) as other projects caught my interest.
