Durandal is nearly ready

Durandal: A Game of Mythic Chivalry is approaching the finish line. I plan to release it on DriveThruRPG in November. This book took more work than I expected, in the best possible way. I rewrote entire chapters to capture the true tone of a mythic chivalry Carolingian setting. I focused the voice, honed the vows and oaths, and tuned the rules to carry that sacred weight of duty and glory. I cannot wait to place this blade in your hands.

Surprise release in November, American Dread

I have a second release lined up for November. American Dread is a street level, gritty hero punk TTRPG set in a current day dystopian America. The game is a call to stand together against oppression, a toolbox for crews who want to push back. Expect quick character creation, sharp choices under pressure, and play that moves like a march that will not stop. More details soon, but you can take a first look at the working cover.

Holoverse playtest two, shining moments

We ran the second Holoverse playtest at the second encounter of the Grupo de Roleplayers de Almada. I had the chance to play, to observe, and to take detailed notes for improvements. The game is shining for Pedro and Telmo, which makes me very happy. The new Passions and the projection moves are landing well, pacing and clarity improved, and the emotional beats are hitting with real presence. Thank you to everyone who joined, your feedback matters.

See you at EJEU

I will give a short pep talk at EJEU, Pavilhão Multiusos da Amadora, Saturday 25 October at 13h45. If you are around, come say hello. I will talk about building tension in diceless play, the craft behind tone, how to keep pace and emotion in front, and especially how diceless gaming can be as fun (or more!) as rolling a natural 20.
