You may also be aware of the d6•d6 CORE RPG rules I’ve been building online, with a wide variety of genre setting chapters as add-ons—including several by other industry folk (and more to be revealed soon). A few new card games are waiting attention, too.

It’s a novel, each chapter a sonnet, conflating Wells’ and Dante’s themes, in the spirit of Byron’s Don Juan, with some Midsummer Night’s Dream and Poetic Edda tossed in, professionally edited by a college buddy of mine, with illustrations from one of my favorite line artists, potentially colorized by her art partner (if funding provides).
More news soonish!
