WE design things for RPGs

We’ve been playing RPGs together since we were kids. We'd draw and write and build adventures together, learning how to create with each other and for one another. We like to draw and write — well, we love it — but we design for RPGs because we know what we make can bring people together and help build lifelong friendships.

We started this journey a handful of years ago because we love telling stories and we love rolling dice!

We wanted to share our passion with players and GM’s, bring our ideas to print, and with any luck find enough enthusiasm to keep us imagining and creating together… And we found it because you're here. We’ve had successes we thought were pipe dreams — we’re honored and humbled by the support we’ve been gifted from you and this community.

Amongst those successes; the ENNIE nods, the growing downloads, the funding to print, the kind words, the player testimonials, and community events, we never really found the critical mass to make this a profitable venture… And that is totally OK!

We spent a lot of time asking ourselves why we do this and the answer was never money. We do it because we love it and because of your engagement. So we decided to release the collective body of our work and our world 100% FREE!

This past year we completed the trilogy we began with our first book, Nolan Locke’s Exquisite Corpse. It brings closure to a huge chapter for us and ties our world-building and system neutral Exquisite Corpse series to our unique TTRPG system Dreadnought. We want you to have it, to use it, to play it, to be inspired by it. To come together with your friends and play a game.
