Hi! I mostly make small, quick games (between 200-500 words) with an emphasis on simple rules and imaginative storytelling between the lines. Sometimes I just toy with layout or form-factor for free games by others.
The mechanics I tinker with are currently inspired by John Harper and Shawn Tomkin, among others. I try to spell out my inspirations, keep the prices low and I'm very open to feedback about my designs and how well they may (or may not) work at your table.
I hope you have fun with them and are inspired to hack something even better!
