TTRPG Game Designer

Jan 2024 - Present2 yrs 6 mos

Globally published tabletop roleplaying game designer, developing systems and settings from the ground up. Specialising in zine-size easy to learn TTRPGs and system design. I have created both multiplayer and solo/GMless TTRPGs, with themes varying from post-apocalyptic survival, tension building horror, explorative horror, and mental health betterment. As well as writing and designing my own games and systems, I've also created my own setting for Mörk Borg, working within the Borg system, with a quickstart guide currently available. I've also collaborated with the Stockholm Kartell in releasing a t-shirt with additional optional "hardcore" rules incorporated. Current Games/Releases: - Samurai Goths of the Apocalypse (gonzo apocalyptic survival) - SHH!! (tension building horror survival) - Escape the Domain of the Night Hag (solo/GMless survival horror) - A Short Rest (part mental health self-help guide / part TTRPG) - DETH METVL: Quickstart (dystopian 80s near-apocalypse, using Mörk Borg base rules) - Official MÖRK BORG Hardcore Rules (official collaboration with Stockholm Kartell/Johan Nohr) If you're looking for someone to assist with game, setting, or system development - I'm excited to help craft a fun and exciting game system which encapsulates the setting! If you need someone to share the wonderful burden of writing setting lore, places, histories, important people, within this world you're creating - I'd love to help you bring it to life! If you'd like someone to help with page/book layout and/or proofreading - lets deliver a layout vibe in keeping with the book's setting and themes, while ensuring that the rules, lore, and text are polished, consistent, and easy to run at the table!

Apparel Brand Owner - Uknite the Realm

Apr 2018 - Present8 yrs 3 mos

I own a clothing brand inspired by my passions for both heavy metal and tabletop gaming, in the form of Uknite the Realm. Whilst I do produce some artwork in-house, I generally work with other artists to bring concepts to life; my personal strengths are in design layout, text/logo placement and colourways/colour theory, all in Photoshop. I also create customised garments, including denim jackets and flannel shirts, with manner of embellishments from chains, spikes and additional fabrics, to patches, distressing, and hand-painted elements. If you're a start-up clothing brand who just needs some advice or help with any of the above, or you need help in honing your brand's voice, visual, and unique selling point to aid in realising your target audience, all the way through to narrowing down brand ambassadors who would be a good fit for your brand, and even the "boring" admin side like putting Tech Packs together for printers - I'm happy to help!

Dungeon Master / Game Master

Jan 2007 - Present19 yrs 6 mos

I've been playing, running, and creating TTRPGs for over two decades - it's my favourite past-time, which has also become a huge part of what I now do for a living. Am I a professional Dungeon Master / Game Master? No. Am I passionate about this hobby? Hell Yes! Dungeons & Dragons and Mörk Borg are my current most played titles, but I also have experience with Vampire the Masquerade and Shadowdark - as well as my own multiplayer games; Samurai Goths of the Apocalypse and SHH!! If you're a new group to the hobby and would like to play a session or two, to test the water and see if it's for you or not - I'd be more than happy to put something together for you and walk you through the basics, learning as you play. Equally, if you're an existing group looking to try a new system and play a one-shot, or have a forever GM just wanting to play a couple of sessions for a change (it's OK, I feel you!), I'd be excited to provide you with some locations to explore and some monsters to slay!
