War on the Relic Frontier - Boots in Mud

A Game About War and the People in it.Boots in Mud has a bit of a . . . strange history as some may call it, but this is the latest ineration of a long line of games bearing similar names. Take the role of a solider, a cog in a large wheel of war, as you and your company struggle against the harsh reality of conflict. This isn't a game about the glorification of war, but the depravity it causes normal people to committ and the pain that results from it.
There are no heroes in war. Just the dead.

A Conquisto-Mech Game About Civilization.By Blade and Cross is another step in what's been now dubbed "The Golem Cycle" which has its brother-project of the Saga of King Arthur and the Men of Metal. Take the reigns of an Expedition of the Barcengozan people, exploring a brand new land for king and country in puruit of glory and gold. It's a game about civilizations clashing together, with the unfortunate side effect of them rarely coming into conflict kindly.
This is all punctuated by the use of massive Golems, animated machines piloted by brave Captains using a simplistic D6 System and unique Roll-and-Keep Combat method.

How does one De-Loli the Loli Game?Nechronica is a favorite of mine, a near perfect blend of mechanics, story, and rhythm to make the game a joy to play. I am however one of the few people who actively pitch it to people due to it being incredibly difficult due to Ryo Kamiya (the writer) being an odd duck.This is an extensive set of tweaks, changes, and edits to allow you to play Nechronica in different ways or to simply pitch it to your friends a bit easier.The EN "Community" still dislikes me for it.

Road Redemption: Red Mist Running

HEY BABE IT'S TIME FOR HIGHRISE!Road Redemption was a fun little rougelite bike racing combat game in the vein of the Road Rash, a Sega Genesis game. I converted it into a bloody fight across Australis as the biker gangs wage war and race one another on the open road.Overall, the game was a proof of concept of converting the F-Zero RPG into a different setting, allowing it to be further created into ANY racing game.

Hearts of the Valkyria

A Roleplaying Game About Anime Belgia-Switzerland against Russo-GermaniaHearts of the Valkyria was a hack of Hearts of Darkness (what would later be known as Boots in Mud) about the popular Playstation franchise "Valkyria Chronicles." I enjoy the game, but the middle entries are a bit . . . wonky.
However, the story of "soldiers in war" with an anime set dressing does help sell a certain kind of game, something that Hearts of Darkness's subject matter was difficult to pull off.
I guess this is also the last major version of everything in the original HoD. Huh.

The Unofficial Elona TTRPG

Everybody Loves Shena's AssElona is Japanese Nethack, a roguelike, but in traditional Japanese fashion it’s a special kind of odd that makes it unique. Namely it’s open world, and that’s not just some buzzword that’s used to justify something where you can go anywhere but advance on the set path. This monster is the “Do Whatever You Want” Variety of open worlds. It’s a special blend of strangeness when you roll up on a dungeon and after being there for a bit you realize you’ve been killing street performers and hermit crabs, and then one drops a assault rifle, or a longsword made of paper, or some cursed armor that kills you instantly because that’s funny.

The CENTER System

Aligned With CenterThe Center System SRD is a System Reference Document for creating Tabletop Roleplaying Games, TTRPGs / TRPGs, and similar products. The core foundation of the Center System is based on a Player (henceforth referred to as a PL) attempting to reach the "CENTER" of an odd-numbered die for the Character (henceforth referred to as a PC) to succeed in actions. All actions of the world are guided by the Archon, a PL who is running, narrating, and refereeing the game.
Ideally, the Center System is built around 2 to 5 PL, with one being the Archon.

The Notepad Narrative Framework

Narrated By NotepadThe Notepad Narrative Framework (N2F) is a Tabletop Roleplaying System designed to be a fiction-forward method of telling stories at the table for a group of players. Each of the Players will take the role of an Avatar, allowing them to interact with the world and act out their desires. Each Avatar is a unique individual with their own story to be told and problems to solve. One Player will play the Arbiter. The Arbiter's job is to both judge and mediate conflicts with the Avatar's and the game world. In other systems they may be referred to as a Dungeon Master or Game Master, but here they act as mostly a judge for the actions of the Avatars and the situation.

Why are all the links to Google Docs?

Ease of use mostly. Not only am I able to quickly and easily make edits, but YOU(!) the audience member can comment if you see something wrong or doesn't make sense. This does make most of my games "Living Documents."
If there was another method to allow me to make on the fly documents, access them from anywhere, and allow collaboration between anyone who has the link, then I'd take it. As of now, Google is the only one that does that reliably.

What's with the "Notepad Anon" thing?

Notepad Anon emerged on 4Chan /tg/ in a one-off post when I first uploaded my "fix" to the Green Ronin A Song of Ice and Fire RPG, which would later become Blood, Coin, and Steel. Some dude called me Notepad Anon and the name stuck. It's also easy to make on the fly edits by slapping a Notepad png on its head.

What's your favorite TTRPG?

RIFTS by Palladium. It satisfies my numbers brain, my inner thespian, and my rampant desire to see laser raptors fighting wizards in Florida.I still want to pick Uncle Kev's brain one day.

Why do you make so many games?

Masochism It's fun.

Are you gay?

No. Bara is just easy to edit. Gachimuchi is also a lifestyle thank you very much.

You insulted X game! How could you!

It was my opinion on the matter. I subscribe to a K and S on the KNS scale of things, narrative games require quite a bit to impress me. Usually I just hate people being lazy with design and trying to get away by peddling low-quality products to people. It makes everyone look bad.
And I still hate Daniel Fox.

Can you write me a game!

I'm not called a Game Design Mercenary for nothing!
If you're a business seeking me to freelance, feel free to contact me and I'll be more than happy to assist. If you're an individual wanting to pay me for their pet project, go to Other Things That Are Important.

Do I have to subscribe to your Patreon?

No! The Plutocrats will recieve exclusive PDFs for awhile and be able to influence the current development cycle through the power of NOTOCRACY. Either way, it's a method for people to change the course of development as well as support me if they wish.
More Plutocrats, means more benefits, means more domination over the Proles.

Why do you stream game development?

In the IT world there is a practice called "Rubber Ducking" where you explain your code to a rubber duck and it'll help you find the issues. I decided to do that with streaming because I could.And COVID-19 locked me down and I got bored.

How many Commissions have you done?

A couple at this point, all have been well received by their requestor. I would like to get picked up more formally by others and released in a prettier state.However, this is the TTRPG industry and that's fighting a bucket of crabs while surrounded by crabs.

Wait, which of these names are correct? You have like fiv-

Do not question the thought cabinet.

Originally I had a point in this to make sure people understood that I like their artwork and I use it in my games to represernt a point. I try to cite, blah, blah, blah.
If you notice a piece of artwork in my game and you don't want it there, contact me and I will remove it.Now for the elephant in the room.I use AI Art quite a bit, I'm no artist and I will never claim to be one. I use a combination of Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to get games to look good. There's a very long conversation to have about ethics, business intent, and other boring things you are free to contact me about. However, I believe AI Art is fine because I'm not selling you that artwork, I'm selling you a game (usually for free). If you take issue with it, apologies for your feelings, but I will not relent.
