Table Top Role Playing Games
A site to resource tools and documents relating to a variety of games and created ideas for their worlds. Including Excel sheets with random names of people (by country) shops, taverns, villages and more. Modules or brief outlines of ideas for games within the When Worlds Collide game system or campaign books, and a companion mobile app, all designed and built by the same person behind BlackTor's technical work.
Independent creative work, published under my own name.
Unlike the consulting work described elsewhere on this site, the material relating to TTRPGs here is developed independently of client engagements. It sits here because designing and building a campaign line and the software around them draws on the same systems-building skills as BlackTor's technical disciplines, not because it is confidential client work. Work presented here is part of a hobby, and relevant only to those who partake. Some of it, including the WWC modules for The Tomb of Ashnan, is published work under the name Jay Knox-Crichton, available from DriveThru.
