For Small Creatures Such As We

With For Small Creatures Such As We finally in print, I can celebrate the fact that we reached the coveted FSCSAW_final_final_FINAL(3).pdf stage of development and barring the appearance of some typos and potentially awkward wording, it is done.

So, to thank all of you lovely patrons I've updated the zip file and you can now get your hands on the PDF in both pages and spreads as well as a...

Apothecaria: Familiar Shelter - Completed!

Hey everyone, after more than a year since release I finally commissioned an artist to bring all the different familiars in the Familiar Shelter expansion to life! So a huge shoutout and thanks to Samisu for their work on this :)

You can grab the updated pages and spreads version of the file down below and collect your itch.io k...

For Small Creatures Such As We - Latest

Hey everyone, I just want to say thanks again to everyone who has been offering up feedback. With a few more days left before we get to print, I wanted to put up the latest version and ask once again for all your feedback.

If playtesting the mechanics sounds like too much work or you don't have time then even your help looking for typos, sentences getting cut off, image problems and thing...

For Small Creatures Such As We - Newest

As we're about 15 days away from going to print I'm calling upon everyone who has time and wants to be helpful to help me make sure that For Small Creatures Such As We is the best damn game it can be!

With such an open sandbox, I can't play through every variation of the game and there will be weird edge cases that break the game. I need your help to find where the game is clunky. Where ...

Dance of Seasons - Spring Early Access

Hey everyone!

Thank you for your patience. While I have been working hard to get my late Kickstarter project, For Small Creatures Such As We, edited and into print I have found it difficult to find time for my other projects.

Thankfully, I have an amazing community around me who have shown me incredible support while I tackle this mountain and as thanks, I have managed to put toget...

Quick Update

Hey everyone, not much to share just now but I thought I'd say something rather than continue the radio silence.

These past two weeks have been pretty slow. A combination of physical exhaustion, a bit of burnout, and just being really busy has meant I've got very little done outside of For Small Creatures Such As We.

I'm back at work again now and will hopefully have some Dance of S...

Dance of Seasons Update

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the patience while I've been toiling away at For Small Creatures Such As We. That has been such a massive project and while it's not done yet, I do finally have some breathing room to resume working on Dance of Seasons.

As a reminder, Dance of Seasons is the next Apothecaria Expansion and will introduce Seasonal Event Tables for each of the base game Loc...

For Small Creatures Such As We - BETA Access

As thanks for all your support I give you For Small Creatures Such As We!

This 250 page sci fi solo RPG puts you in the shoes of a human captain with an alien crew that you generate, learn about, and befriend over the course of your adventures. 

This is an incomplete Beta, some things are still in need of Art, Layout, and the Uncharted Worlds system isn't in place so the Explor...

December Discount Code

So apparently I have to put a bunch of text at the start of these posts to ensure the discount code itself doesn't appear in the text preview (: 

Hope you're all doing well and having a lovely old time of things. Excited for the holidays? Looking for a gift for friends and family? Well why not grab some of my games with a 25% off discount using this code: ZM6AE0EKG8D1

Quick Little Update

Hey everyone, 

Sorry about the silence over the past couple of months. I've been working hard on For Small Creatures Such As We in order to get it ready for a digital beta release on the 20th of December and unfortunately that has been taking up nearly all of my time.

I have been working on the Dance of Seasons expansion for Apothecaria but much like all my projects these days,...

Times Flies and Poll Results

It has been a quick couple weeks since I posted the poll asking what the next Patreon expansion should be. Mostly during that time I've been deep in the For Small Creatures mines or sorting out things around the house (who knew moving would be so drawn out).

But, I'm happy to announce that the winner of the poll by a clear landslide was Apothecaria!

The expansion I've started workin...

Next Patreon Offering

I have been focusing so much on For Small Creatures Such As We, Golf Quest, and Shirefolk this past month that I haven't had time to give thought to what my next Patreon offering shall be so I ask you, my wonderful patrons, what you would like :)

My offerings are:

A new DELVE Expansion!

A new Apothecaria Expansion!

or a small weird game.

Shirefolk Sneak Peek

Earlier this year I started working on a side project that I promised myself I would keep as a "for fun" project until For Small Creatures Such As We was finished and while I have been doing very well at keeping to that, today I spilled the beans that I have art for it and figured it was time to share!

Shirefolk is my not-so-secret project and it is a combination of DELVE, Apothecaria, an...

DELVE: Biomes Expansion

The world opens up beneath us Overseer. A wealth of new Biomes to explore, Rooms to Build, and Units to Hire as we continue our search for the fabled Void Crystal. But be warned, with new opportunity comes new danger and there are rumours among the loremasters and miners about terrible things lurking in the shadows.

This expansion is all about Biomes which are unique areas with t...

DELVE: Biomes - Sneak Peek

DELVE is evolving in this new expansion. Over the past few months I've been jotting down ideas for the eventual DELVE sequel (which is still way off in the future but I like thinking about it) and one of the big things that I've come up with is the concept of Biomes, unique areas with their own Gameplay Effects, ♣ and ♠ Events, Rooms, and Units.

This expansion introduces 14 unique Bio...

Apothecaria Novel

I have been kicking around the idea of writing and publishing an Apothecaria novel but I'm unsure if me putting out something "official" would make some people's own worlds feel somehow less valid. 

What do you lot think?

Apothecaria - The Cursed Coast Expansion

Heed now the siren song of The Cursed Coast, dear witch for it is a place that is in dire need of your services. 

This once beautiful place has become a dark and quiet shadow of itself thanks to the Three Curses placed upon it. It is up to you to break these foul magicks and return the coast to its once legendary heights.

The Three Curses are thus:

• The Curse O...
