My adventure Dark Waters Rising for Raging Swan Press came out last July, and was quite well-received. Raging Swan has only a few print products; nearly are all pdf-only, with a distinctive simple white-on-black color style. For Raging Swan's third birthday last month (congrats on three years!), they put three of their popular products out in print. One of these was Dark Waters Rising, which I was very proud to hear!Creighton Broadhurst at Raging Swan was kind enough to send me his print versi... Continue reading ...
My third freelance project for Paizo Publishing, the Pathfinder Society scenario 4-07 Severing Ties, was released several days ago. It received surprisingly few changes in development, which I take to mean that I've turned over solid work that needed little by way of rewriting--good news, as I love working for Paizo and look to do more of it.
One observation about my Paizo adventures: I've already run Severing Ties more than my other two Paizo adventures. I ran my first adventure, Tide of Twil... Continue reading ...
I had someone point out just the other day that my “Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment” for Paizo Publishing http://paizo.com/products/btpy8qq1?Pathfinder-Society-Scenario-321-The-Temple-of-Empyreal-Enlightenment is the highest-rated Pathfinder Society Scenario ever—it currently has 10 five-star reviews. Other PFS scenarios have had exclusively-five-star reviews, but none have so many. The Paizo forums have given an awful lot of praise for this adventure, for which I’m very grateful and...

My adventure "Dark Waters Rising" for Raging Swan is now available here: http://paizo.com/products/btpy8tga?Dark-Waters-Rising. Creighton Broadhurst of Raging Swan has been great to work with, and a real exemplar of third party publisher interaction. He was open to my pitch of an adventure idea, suggested tie-ins to his existing products that I could use, and provided clear direction for how he wanted the final product to look. Creighton gave me a document template with the appropriate styles... Continue reading ...
I've been fortunate to do a lot of work for Headless Hydra Games already, but a big project that's been in the works for a while is now coming to the surface. The Viridian Legacy adventure path will soon be released in its installments, and the Viridian Legacy Player's Guide is now available at RPGNow.com and Paizo.com. I put together the skeleton of the adventure path and wrote the player's guide and GM's guide, but it's neat to see how Axel at Headless Hydra Games has really put a professio... Continue reading ...
Now available is my second Pathfinder Society adventure, "The Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment," which you can get at http://paizo.com/products/btpy8qq1. This is a creepy Stepford Wives-type investigation adventure, where all is not as it seems in an isolated temple to a benign god. Check it out! Continue reading ...
I've been working with Headless Hydra Games quite a bit, and most recently in connection with developing an adventure path for them. This adventure path has about a dozen chapters, a few of which I'm writing. I just turned in the final updates to Chapter 1--which was begun by the talented Tom Baumbach--so that should be available in the near future. Continue reading ...
Rite Publishing just released the next issue of their free Pathfinder RPG 'zine, Pathways, which includes the first part of a three-part adventure I've written for them. Called "Scattered Sheaves," this adventure details the PCs' quest for stolen pages from a magical tome. In each of the three parts, the PCs investigate a different location to recover the missing pages. The three parts and be run in order. This is very tight location adventure design for me, and is a good exercise in packing ... Continue reading ...
I've been juggling several products for other publishers that should see print in the next few months. I've written another Pathfinder Society adventure, "The Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment" for Paizo Publishing (no, not *that* ToEE), and I'm writing a tense rescue-type adventure called "Dark Waters Rising" for Raging Swan. Look for these soon! Continue reading ...
I developed a new mechanic for an adventure I wrote for Headless Hydra Games ( Wreck of the Keening Crone) called "Haste Points." The adventure is fundamentally a race, and the faster the PCs hustle in early encounters, the easier they find the later encounters to be. I thought this mechanic could be generalized as a useful tool for GMs designing time-pressure adventures. I proposed it as an article to Open Design and they accepted it for their Kobold Quarterly magazine. It's called "Make Has... Continue reading ...
I've just been published in Pathways #10 magazine from Rite Publishing. I provided them with a short article called "The Fleshgrafter's Foe" that introduces a helpful NPC, a gruesome new magic item based on Rite Publishing's "30 Fleshgrafts" product, and a combat encounter. Quite a lot to pack into a short article, and worth checking out. Continue reading ...
