Just before the holidays, PDF, softcover, and hardcover versions of Thousand Suns Rulebook are now available. I did the cover and interior design on this project, and all the production. It’s been interesting working on a sci-fi game that is so different from Eclipse Phase, and also working on such a setting-light game. I think […]

One of the chapters that I spent a lot of time tinkering with was the Skills chapter. Here’s the fundamental problem with […]
Early Sunday morning I released the second episode of Dirty Words Design; covering a file cleanup technique that you can use to get a handle on unruly projects. This was a fun episode to record, and I’m already looking forward to sitting down and recording the next one! You can also Subscribe to the Dirty […]
InDesign Wish List, Item #1: Groups of items inside the Links palette. It would be very nice to subdivide different types of linked resources without having to rename the files to have standard prefixes. There are a few other palettes that could be brought up to the CS3 standard in such a way, as well, […]
