A downloadable collection

A catch-all collection of free extras that used to have their own pages until I corralled them all here. Mostly pretty lo-fi or unpolished (or both), but there's one or two gems in here. They're ordered oldest to newest, mostly TTRPGs at the top and fonts at the bottom.


Pockets full of Stars

A cozy duo role-playing and world-building game about tiny people living on tiny planets, and humble giants living on cozy stars.

Letter Bearer

A short solo role-playing and world-building game: carry letters through the Forest you call home for the mighty, regal Powers that command your life, take detours where you can, and weather your lords' cruelties before you can break free.

You in Me

An in-person epistolary game for two, written on both sides of an index card. You're soldiers in a terrible war, writing letters to one another as the fighting rages on. You know each other so well that as you write, you can hear their voice in your mind.

Angels of the Railway Stations

An epistolary game for 2+ players in which you play a liminal community of lonely angels. Help lonely travellers in a world undergoing a great upheaval, then write about what you see and do to pass it on to the next angel down the line.

This Christmas, Give 'Em Hell

An action-heist-revenge-ghost movie hybrid role-playing game hacked from John Harper's Lasers & Feelings in which you have two stats: Christmas and Ghost. Are you a bad enough Ghost to save Christmas?

From Sea to Shining Sea

Fear and loathing on the moon—a GM-less tabletop role-playing game for 2–4 players who're ready to open the dark heart of the shitty future.

Dirty Papers

A GM-less game of archaeology and the light and dark sides of academia. Dig through ancient ruins, sift the dirt for precious finds, and slowly piece together how you think the people here once lived.

Banned From Argo

A sci-fi parody role-playing of hapless havoc and reckless R&R by Space-Fleet's finest crew, inspired by the (in)famous filk song of the very same name. Hacked from John Harper's Lasers & Feelings. You have two stats: A Little Fun and Too Much Fun.

Bodyworks

A mis-adventure mini-zine game for two players, specifically of the sort who want to roleplay body snatchers in a grim, bizarre, alternate London, using the board game Operation.

hOwdy

A dingbat typeface of weird, unusually happy faces. Ultra-niche and not particularly useful, but if it helps, great.

The Eldritch Ecstasy of Detective Dog

A GM-less cosmic horror/kids' TV/millennial burnout role-playing game, inspired by British childrens' television and the absolute state of things.

Contact from Unknown

A 2-player game of dark lunar mysteries, esoteric chatroom weirdos, and gut-feel horror that's designed for play via online messaging apps. Both players are paranormal investigators living in the same town who've realised there's something terribly wrong with not only their town, but the moon itself.

Drowns the Sky

You are colonists on an alien planet. The End is coming. You know it’s coming, and you know there’s no way to escape, but you still have some time left to do what you will. To experience the world, preserve what you can, reflect on your past, build for the future, and answer whatever questions remain.

timeTo

A set of fonts that let you turn digital times into analog clocks. You just type in a time from 00:00 to 11:59 and timeTo converts it into a clock. There's a few dozen styles, including one themed after the grandfather clock from Super Mario 64.

LilMrkr

A dense, marker-pen, hand-drawn font with pseudo-randomisation and multilingual support. It cycles through up to 12 versions of each glyph to make the font look sketchier (unfortunately, this randomisation doesn't work online).

Minitic

A tiny 4x4/3x3 pixel font with some calligraphic styling. As much as you can fit into that space, anyway. It's also got a decent amount of multilingual support.

Zenimini

a pixel-ish floppypunk typeface inspired by some headings from the 1988 British superhero/cosmic horror comic, Zenith. It's dense and heavy and comes in four styles: Pixel, Flat, Round, and Rough.

Scryptic

An italic handwriting pixel font. It does a lot with a little, with the goal of looking decently readable even at small font sizes without sacrificing the script style. Note: this font relies heavily on kerning to get the letters to fit together right, so it won't look as good if you have kerning switched off or can't switch kerning on.

Buried Future

An unfinished font of heavy geometric characters. The theme was “post-apocalyptic monoliths”. Maybe 90% of the way there in terms of design, but the remaining 10% would make it sing (it's also missing kerning and a few other basic features).

Is "Contact from Unknown" going to be added here?

I ask because I bought it four years back and I don't know where to download a copy now.

(+1)

I've added this now!

Thank you kindly!

It's always interesting to see a different spin off of your own design and one day, I'll be back with a review and a story once I play a good game from it

Hey there! I was recommended your work for some awesome templates for more writing-focused games, but I can't seem to find them on your page anywhere! If you've gotten rid of them, no problemo, but thought I'd ask about it here. :)

You make such compelling games! <3

Was it an Affinity Publisher template or an HTML file template (called "Write Skyscrapers")?

Hi--actually looking for this right now! I've heard of it and was kinda curious but couldn't find it anywhere, are you editing it?

Really loved how you layouted and organized all in one catch-all collection!

Thank you!
