Writing for Role Playing Games
Since 2021 I have had the pleasure of being a writer and contributing writer to the games systems produced by Cubicle 7, one of the leading designers of tabletop role playing games. I have produced content for both Doctor Who: The Official Roleplaying Game and Vault 5e, Cubicle 7’s content for Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition as well their upcoming setting for Fifth Edition, Broken Weave.
The titles I have worked upon are listed below with links of where to purchase them. If you want some quality ace times at the table top, please consider buying one or lots of my work!

Broken Weave: Corebook
The weave unravels. The gods are dead, the lands are shattered, and the world has begun to forget what it once was. Time and distance have lost their meaning, and the knowledge of how things once were crumbles like ash. Those who remain struggle to survive in a shattered world overcome by Decay — an entropic force which eats at our memories, reshapes the world, and twists people into nightmarish abominations.
Broken Weave is a new tragic fantasy setting for 5e from Cubicle 7, where hope and community are the only path to creating something new. The book includes: 6 unique character classes fit for a strange and ever-changing world where magic is broken and God-corpses litter the land, a complete system for founding, growing, and protecting your community over generations, and a host of nightmarish creatures to defend against.

Another, then another. Who is cloning the universally renowned scientist, and what fate is befalling all of these clones?
