My 5e campaign rips off a lot of stuff but none so much as the Ultraviolet Grasslands.
The Chromatic Pilgrimage, Part 1
Star Dust, a Fiasco Playset
My followup to Insomniacs this week is a space opera meets office politics playset for the excellent new edition of Fiasco.
Insomniacs, a Cryoship Road Trip
Insomniacs is out! The journey through its design has ironically mirrored an Insomniacs campaign - an incredibly long odyssey punctuated by false hope, mistakes, research projects, and self-discovery.
The Final Countdown
Insomniacs has been part of my game design thoughts since May 2017. It's come a long way and I've struggled with a lot of existential crises about what this roleplaying game should actually be. It's laid out and I'm in the final art push.
Green Screens are Cosplay for Online Gaming

Exercise During the Time of Nurgle
We're stuck at home with our two daughters and have had to adopt a different routine. So far it feels like it might be better for us as a family.
D&D 5e, Zardoz, and Getting A Head

Teaching a Spaceman to Spacefish
I've got maybe a year or so of my Insomniacs playtest campaign under my belt, but I'm struggling with how to put that into actionable content in the book. I don't think I've ever used a setting or module verbatim, and I don't know how other GMs adapt canned material for their own campaigns. I have a couple paths forward I can take, however, trails blazed by other designers that have inspired me.
