Sorry for the late (for me) update. I just got access to my internet today. My entire weekend was spent quickly moving from a place sold out from under us and to my new home thanks to a fortuitous mixture of luck, goodwill, and connections.
My entire body is sore. I'm low-key anxious at every step I take in this place because I feel like a stranger. But I'm here and I can earnestly say ...
Friday Night Event Figure out which of your friends is the real king of the ring in this improv party game for 3-6 players. In Friday Night Event, take on the role of wacky randomly generated wrestlers with bizarre gimmicks as you try to break your opponents with comedy skill and might and gain heat. All you need is a pack of cards and some funny friends. *
I'm still getting use to patreon so I forgot to post it here, but incase you didn't know, last month we had a brand new release! Presenting the Exceptionals Expansion Line. That's right, not just Welcome to Reedsboro but something extra by a regular collaborator David Fernandez.

Just finished the text of Welcome To Reedsboro: An Exceptionals Expansion and the total page count is 139 pages! I still have some stuff to do (table of contents, replace page reference placeholders, cover, place in some art) but after that it should be ready to publish and send out free copies to those at huckleberry tier.
Last call for names you want to be credited under in the c...
This has been a weird, busy, stressful month and honestly not all of it is my fault. Some of you might know that I work as a volunteer medic in my area, which can mean a weird inconsistent schedule. We had some storms pass through, a couple of major car wrecks I had to work, and a grandma that ran herself over at a funeral among other things. Then you add in some big personal life things and so...

2022-06-29 17:18:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I'm getting ready to publish a new game which comes with your name in the credits. I know, exciting stuff. If you would like to be credited under a name that is not your Patreon account name, please e-mail me at: Bramblewolfbooks@gmail.com with both your patreon name and the name you wish to be credited as before June 13th, 2022.

I don't think I realize exactly how much I got done until I started writing it all up for the patreon post.
First things first, the manuscript for Welcome To Reedsboro: An Exceptionals Sourcebook is done. That's another book finished. A friend explained to me that meant I've written two books in a year, but I assure you It felt much longer. I...
I have to say, it's pretty exciting to see Exceptionals featured in a game list like this, especially right behind Masks. It's making me, an Indigenous game designer, VERY smug to be put on a list that says my game is officially better than the one the Deadlands guy made.
most of these games on the list are amazing and worth your time! I personally dig "Anyone Can Wear the Mask", "...
I finally finished that large giant chunk of content that makes up most of the last chapter. I ended up writing over twenty pages of just plain NPC's you can sprinkle into your campaigns. I'm finally done with making NPC's so I can start making...more npcs.
I kid, I'm finally out of filling out templates however and the rest of the content is pretty easy to make. And probably not 20 mor...
I have been working on NPC's for a couple months now and I still have an almost comical amount to go according to my outline. But slow and steady gets the book done and I'm busting out one or two entries a day at least. I just keep thinking about that part right at the beginning of The Phantom Tollb...
Welcome to a new, if irregular, type of content you can expect from me, Tablenotes. Tablenotes are a look of what is going on at my own personal table as I explore new games and mechanics. If I'm going to create games I want to make an effort to expand my toolbox of experiences and mechanics. Even if I'm doomed to be a forever GM.
All this content will be rougher t...
I took a bit of a break this month to work on some personal things. I've been working on superhero stuff for almost 3 years at this point and the rpg I picked up for my birthday provided a good excuse. I didn't realize how much I actually needed it until I did it. It felt good. I feel like I'm going to be able to come back to Welcome to Reedsboro feeling refreshed and invig...
2022-03-01 22:27:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt's my birthday today, a chance to celebrate making it another year. Something that feels more relevant given how many people I know that never made it to my age. It's honestly kinda lonely and covid only feels like it's exacerbating the whole thing.
But it's good to know I have folk that believe in what I'm doing. I finally seemed to find something I'm good at and I r...
I'm turning 30 on the 6th so I'm trying to get a bunch of work done before so I can take a break before feeling guilty. I am aware of how ridiculous that is, but if I don't I'm just going to be thinking about it the whole day as an intrusive thought. It's for my own sake.
But as such I've been going into overdrive. Expect an extra update on my birthday, no extra charge....
Last year, was a collection of milestones for me. I put out a book. I was a best seller for a whole weekend. People I never met were playing my game and complimenting me over how good it was and how much they liked it. It was a validation and relief that the 2 1/1 years I poured into the experience were not in vain.
And I hope, honestly, truly, that this these milestones are first rathe...
Been plodding away on the Exceptionals setting splat book. I have, at this point, the text for 2 out of the 5 chapters done and completed. It may be a bit before you see all of that, if only because I want to keep ahead of the curve when it comes to posting here. You'll see peaks though. I get so excited about the stuff I work on.
I have...a lot to show you when I start on my next...
Exceptionals has done well enough I think it's worth spending a little time on a small setting book. This setting book is taking place in the outer banks of NC and looks to contain (at least by my outline) location set pieces, npcs, plot hooks, and 4 new protocols to make make new kinds of characters with (and ease the burden on existent ones). Might do a map for funsies.
It will ...
I figure, if you're willing to pay for me to do work at at least owe it to you to say hello. I'm not sure what this place will hold in the future as just it's existence has opened up a lot of possibilities. There are so many games out there I want to make. But I can tell you it will be a place to be earnest. This is an act of vulnerability to show you something not ready for most ey...
