Crime, Sin: A Spire Sourcebook for Spire: The City Must Fall, by Rowan Rook and Decard
Gangster Knights, fantasy heelies, an entire page of mucky pub names and Rob, the god of mugging. Sin expanded Spire with new adventures and sections on Religion, Order and Crime; the latter of which I was given the opportunity to write.Powderkeg, Shadow Operations: A Spire One-Shots Book for Spire: The City Must Fall by Rowan, Rook and Decard
Rowan, Rook and Decard gave me the opportunity to run with the concept of two gangs of gangster knights at each other's throats. The result is true to its name; a one-shot that is simply a bomb waiting to blow up in the player's faces.The Slasher & The Witch, Disposable Bags of Meat by Ex Stasis Games
There's a great joy in finding a way to marry an expected trope to a game's mechanics in a way that feels right. Here Ex Stasis gave me the chance to play around with their system to create something I am very proud of; a pair of killers it will take all of your Luck and Grit to overcome.

Tianlei Dollwerx for Lancer by Massif Press DOC
The second most important thing to load into your mech game is gender*. Tianlei Dollwerx was a faction and player background written for my Lancer home game which channels some of the spirit of the mechsploitation genre and the conformity demanded by the military machine.GRAVETAKER , a one page fantasy heartbreaker by JP Bradley Ashcan Version: PDF DOC
At some point everyone must try and fix Dungeons & Dragons. This is my attempt. For the sanity of everyone involved I stripped it down to one page and focused on a single mechanic; are you with your friends or not?The Caged Hack (WiP) DOC
A hack of The Black Hack set in Sigil in Dungeons & Dragon’s Planescape setting. The Caged Hack was something for a home game that I simply kept writing as practice.
*Massed LRMs are the first.
