My quick, light card game, Picky Packrats is now available on The Game Crafter.

Special thanks to Brian Phongluangtham for the fantastic artwork.

Picky Packrats is a tableau building, set collection card game for 1-3 players.

Overview and how-to-play videos are available on my YouTube channel.

Since the cost of print-on-demand is higher than mass production, I have also made a cards-only version available as an economical alternative. For this version, you need to download the rulebook and find 9 tokens per player from around your place. Coins, buttons, tokens from other games, whatever is fine.

Follow the provided links to see the full game or watch the videos.

I am pleased to announce my contribution to DestinyQuest: The Roleplaying Game, which is coming to Kickstarter in early 2022. DQRPG expands the fast, intense, hack and slash combat of the popular gamebook series by Michael J. Ward into a multiplayer tabletop roleplaying game that is easy to learn and run. Visit the RPG website for more information and sign up for the newsletter to keep updated and to get periodic sneak peeks into the RPG content. The initial release will include the core system, campaign setting, lore, and an introductory adventure.

In Yuletide: An Uninvited Guest

The heroes find more excitement than expected while fetching a tree for the Yuletide celebration. They must rescue the woodcutter, who has been captured by a witch, and are followed home by another young hero from an alpine village who has become lost and has been running from timber wolves. When the Yuletide festivities are disrupted and the tree destroyed, some suspect the alpine visitor, but the real uninvited guest is the witch’s familiar, sent to get even with the meddlesome heroes.

Through the adventure, the heroes learn to defend someone unlike them and gain understanding for those who can be unkind because they are under too much pressure, rather than being a bad person.
