Soul Weavers
Soul Weavers is a Roll and Write Board Game crossed with a GMless RPG, for 1-4 players (or 5 with an optional GM) that takes place in a Fantasy world called The Realm where you as the ‘Hero’ characters are those that have magically bonded with a soul of adventurers past. This connection, called the Soul Weave, forms as a magical tattoo that can move around your body to augment your abilities or protect you. The Soul Weave creates your “class” and enables soul amplifying (exploding dice). Throughout this game, you will explore fantasy-based stories in The Realm with your created characters. As you complete stories your characters can train, developing abilities to use: the Soul Weave, Weapons, Armour or build up your Soul Resilience allowing you to use the weave more often.

Use it as a warm up for your TCG (Magic, Pokemon, Yugi-oh) Tournament, as a break from heavier games or try to get into the psyche of your opponents and use your best bluffing skills to beat the opposing dragons.
Kaiju vs. The MMM
An RPG created in 48 hours for a GameJam. This was the only game to not only cover the theme but also every bonus objective.
Rifts in the sea floor nucleated the water and mutated through rift energies created a cascade of power rippling through the oceans. Through these growing rifts giant monsters came forth. Humans attempted to fight the Kaiju but were wiped out. Little known to the humans, the first energy waves that radiated out from the rifts alerted and transformed the previous rival marine mammals across the earth. As a new consciousness flowed through them a meeting of the mammals was formed. The first scouting mammals were sent out: otters riding dolphins found derelict cargo ships. The Otters jumping on board were searching through a section when an explosion erupted scattering a shipment of cumin across the otters. Their minds opened to the powers of the universe and by collecting this spice they were able to ingest it and form magical abilities from healing others through to sending beams of energy.
The rupture of the ship from the explosion scattered dahlia flowers into the ocean. The inquisitive dolphins ate them and found their already warped minds were joined by their bodies growing to a massive size and adapting to new abilities. Using this newly discovered knowledge the alliance was informed and the mammals raided human strongholds for these new resources. An alliance formed from mammals that used to eat or be eaten began an unlikely resistance against the Kaiju.
