I got to playtest an early version of this, and it is so cool. MAH has a banger on his hands.

After two years of writing adventure modules, I'm jumping back into journaling games! Wizard Mind Palace is a game about preparing for an epic quest, meant to capture the vibe of Gandalf sipping tea while poring over dusty tomes and scrolls. Coming to Kickstarter next month.

Studio 2 Publishing does most of the distro for my games. They are just fine working with small games/zines (and small publishers), which is awesome.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I played this with a group of 5 and had a blast. Probably more talkative than the game expected, with one player drawing the map and another keeping the journal. Perfect cozy storytelling game.

Yeah a tech tree could be really cool. At the moment it’s in v2 testing purgatory. Currency is gone, and I’m trying to balance the components so they can all just cost “1 unit”. Also getting rid of the hex grid, making it pure pvp skirmish, etc. etc.

M. Allen Hall @mallenhall.com · 27/08/2026

Yeah I was pretty happy with how it played. The currency was the biggest drawback from that version of the game. Too much math/tracking. And no, I didnt. Probably because I locked onto the “charges” theming pretty early, which doesn’t lend itself to having different types.

Another: Bernpyle Revisited. 75/25 two-column split gives more room for the main column, allowing for more indentation on the bullets to establish hierarchy, but the narrower side column can't hold much more than some very small-font text.

M. Allen Hall @mallenhall.com · 23/08/2026

Next: The Mall Remastered. True 2-column layout this time means we are skimping a bit with the margins, especially in this half-letter trim size (which is narrower than A5). Still, 1-2 rooms per page gives space for details, and hierarchy within the room descriptions (subheaders, bullets, etc.)

120

M. Allen Hall @mallenhall.com · 23/08/2026

First up: Rotblack Sludge. The 60/40 split gives plenty of room in the side column for mini map and stat blocks while still allowing ample margins and gutter. 1-2 rooms per page means it's not too crowded. Johan's layout has been replicated throughout and beyond the BORG scene.

Poster explorations for a CY_BORG project. Coming soon-ish. Why would your players go to Eledine Space Port? To find a missing person? To raid the warehouse of used cybertech? Or to steal Eledine Exolife Launch Vehicle 3 for...something?

Oh that should be great! You planning to drop character count to 2/player or something like that? Or keep it big and be a little more aggressive with the encounters?
