About

Hi Folks! I'm Marcus (he/they), a TTRPG enthusiast hailing from Germany who's been rolling dice since 1988. What started as a hobby has turned me into a small publisher.Since that first roll, I've been hooked on the hobby. For nearly two decades, I enjoyed face-to-face gaming with my friends from school. But as often happens, life took us in different directions, and the group disbanded. When Google+ launched in 2011, I transitioned to online play, sparking a new challenge: crafting games streamlined enough for virtual tabletops, yet rich enough to spark imagination. This pursuit led me from player to designer and publisher, always chasing that ideal balance of simplicity and depth.I'm constantly tinkering with game mechanics, from elegant and interesting conflict resolution to compact character creation. And I love weaving implied settings through evocative class names, flavourful abilities, and inspiring random tables - giving players and game masters just enough to fuel their own world-building creativity. Rather than writing fully explored worlds, I prefer to share this process with the players while we play.This approach has shaped my games, which span various genres, from post-apocalyptic wastelands to deep-sea adventures and mythical fantasy. But I also like genre agnostic rules to craft your own worlds with. I gravitate towards flexible frameworks that support fast-paced play. It's not just about simplicity for its own sake - complex dice mechanics can be cumbersome in the virtual tabletop environment. By keeping things straightforward, I aim to make games more accessible regardless of technical setup. This lets groups dive into diverse worlds quickly, focusing on story and characters rather than wrestling with digital dice rollers.It's a design philosophy born from practical needs that's grown into a genuine passion. Through my games, I hope to contribute something meaningful to the TTRPG community while sustaining my small publishing efforts. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the hobby, I'd love to hear about your experiences and ideas. Feel free to reach out through Discord or check out my games at Itch.io.
