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.

Coming soon: Wizard Mind Palace: Solo Journaling Roleplaying Game
You are a wizard that must repair their corrupted memories in order to complete an epic quest.

Clayton makes a great point here that I think a lot of people dont realize. People pay attention when all you have to say is negative. You are digging yourself a grave made of your own discontent- the internet isn't actually a good place to complain.

Everytime I decide to illustrate anything I end up respecting illustrators more. It's great to have a nice map for my hexcrawl solo game, but, boy, it takes time to make it look good even in an amateur way.

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?
Mockup of a poster advertising Eledine Exolife's Low Stable Orbit Community #1, along with technical details on Eledine Space Port and Eledine Exolife Launch Vehicle 3 and instructions on how to enroll in the exolife program.

I’ve been into indie comics for a long time, but somehow the don’t think I’ve been to a reading before. It added a whole dimension to the comics—like a poetry reading, heating the author/artists own voice, perspective and interjections on their own work.

I played through my solo adventure yesterday in about 30-40 minutes. It was really fun!! Even though I wrote it, I was surprised and delighted. I used dice, pencils, and Cairn Barebones Editions (at the park). Play report: I died, but the captive I was trying to rescue escaped!!
This adventure: https://jamie-douglas.itch.io/ink-stained-coffin
Printed and spread out on a picnic table with dice, pencils, a sketchbook, a fanny pack full of art supplies and a bike helmet. There are notes and drawings scribbled on the 1 page dungeon, and dice being used to mark the PC and NPCs.

Due to some specifics on player prep, FOUL is exactly a perfect fit (3 PCs per player funnel for MB)! I'll report back with how it goes. 8-9 players including a few kids! Should be chaotic fun, if nothing else. m-allen-hall.itch.io/foul
