Updates On Projects

 

Hi and welcome to my blog! I’ve been quite busy lately juggling multiple projects. I’m still working on typing up my Starforged: Colossus playthroughs and posting them on the blog, but I’ve also begun making TTRPGs again.

Let’s get this out of the way first: I’ve played a LOT of Ironsworn: Starforged, mostly in settings of my own. I want to post all of my finished playthroughs on the blog. It’s just slow-going typing them all up. I’ll get around to it, I promise!

At the same time, I’ve developed a new game system for TTRPGs called MMUGS (Mighty Marvelous Universal Game System). I’ll go over it in more detail in a future article.

Currently, I’ve got a few TTRPG books formatted into Microsoft Publisher. I’m not sure what I’m going to do when Publisher closes out in October of this year. If you know of any good alternatives to Publisher with a short learning curve, let me know in the comments.

Before I can publish my new TTRPGs, I need cover art. I’m currently awaiting the final version of the cover art for my game, Mighty Marvelous. I’ve seen the drafts of the cover art and so far, it looks spectacular!

Playing games like Loner and Ironsworn have really allowed me to focus on what I love about playing solo TTRPGs. I like the creativity of designing my own characters in my own unique worlds. I like using the game systems as an outline for the narrative. I like rolling on vague tables and following surprising results to conclusions I might not have reached just using my own imagination.

Most of my TTRPGs that I’ve written in the past have been rather procedural, but I really think I’m turning over a new leaf in that I’ve really fallen in love with the creative journaling aspect of solo RPGs.

What else do I have in mind for the future? Well, I’d really like to return to the world of Monster Heroes at some point. It’s one of my favorite settings. I also plan to release MMUGS books in different genres so that you can play with my system in different settings. I have some zines for Mighty Marvelous that I’m working on. I would also like to post a playthrough of Mighty Marvelous when I finish a full story. I’ve been vigorously playtesting it, but it’s very spotty and not appropriate to post as a finished tale.

I’m also always interested in trying out new solo TTRPGs or trying out TTRPGs as a solo game. I was really into Mork Borg for a while. I highly recommend Mork Borg solo. Fabula Ultima has been great solo, as well. I’m super excited about the Fabula Ultima Bestiary that should be coming in my mailbox soon from Kickstarter! I just know I’ll be spending dozens of hours in my Fabula Ultima world again when I receive it.

I’m excited to be getting back into writing and creating again, and I feel like I have Ironsworn and Loner and Mork Borg and all the other TTRPGs I’ve been playing solo to thank for it. Writing is a big part of who I am. Whether I’m writing fiction or a game system, I’m giving it my all and constantly thinking about: Is this fun? Is this exciting? Will people connect with this? Importantly, do I connect with this?

Stay tuned to my blog for more Starforged: Colossus playthroughs, as well as updates on my new projects.
