My Current Projects

Alright, I figure talking about what I am working on is a perfect opening post for here so let's talk about what I'm up to.

[Art By Kanesha Bryant] First up and the biggest one is I am co-writing the next expansion for Thirsty Sword Lesbians with April. Thirsty Sword Lesbians: Falling Deeper has been something I was working on from when I first read Thirsty Sword Lesbians basically starting with one simple mechanic addition I had an idea for and now expanding into a much bigger project focused on long term relationships, long term play and engaging with topics that weren't fitting for the core book like Mind Control mechanics. It's going to be an amazing package with new settings, mechanics, playbooks and more.

Next up is another Storysynth project, after making my first The Polycule's Grand Multiverse Adventure I decided to pitch another. Pitch Harder! s a party game where you and your friends can get together to make fake pitches competing to get your art published under whatever ridiculous trends the company your pitching to wants it to fill. Balance your artistic satisfaction with the idea you'll starve if you can't sell a story. It's a silly and played up to 11 version of life as a writer. This is super early on but i'll be co-designing with one of my girlfriends and my Fiancé so I expect it to be like out end of the year or early next year.

I've been working on my long term project of designing a card game, Soul Of The Hero, this game is about bringing gayme design to card games. With a focus on 2v2 play instead of the standard 1v1 style to add even more unique interactions to a TCG format type game. My goal is to release this game eventually as boxed products, no gambling for cards, you get every card in the set and play a dramatic card game that feels like your Yugioh, Magic, Shadowverse, Pokemon TC, etc but with none of the exploitative business models and an explict focus on representing sapphic women. It's redesign is going well with one deck of my goal of four test decks finished and another almost done.

[Art by Remus Jackson] Trueselves is another longer term project from me that I started working on years ago, like 4 or 5ish years ago, maybe 6. It's my own TTRPG project co-designed with one of my girlfriends about fighting oppression by unleashing a representation of yourself to fight. Taking inspiration from Persona, Jojo, Gundam, and a lot more my aims with this system is to make a game that helps teach people game design, focuses on relationships, and brings a unique and new twist to systems inspired by Powered By The Apocalypse. The game is playable in it's current state but I want it to be perfect and the goal for the system is to eventually pitch it to a publisher so it can have all the art and room to breath. This redesign is going to bring it to it's full potential and I look forward to having it in people's hands in the future.

There is even more I am working on but these are the main four that are self directed projects that I am developing at my own pace. I am always open to taking gigs to work on projects and always looking for chances to work in writing in new fields or ones I previously worked in like comics.
