Hi, I write RPGs both as a freelancer and my own material for self-publication. My biggest game is Base Raiders, a FATE superhero RPG about claiming superpowers for yourself and dungeon crawling abandoned superhero and villain bases. I set up a website here http://www.baseraiders.com/about/ I've also done a bunch of freelancing over the years - Eclipse Phase, Monsters and Other Childish Things, and a bunch of d20 stuff - my writing credits are http://www.slangdesign.com/portfolio/ I do a tabletop RPG podcast called Role Playing Public Radio. If you're interested in game design, we do a series called Game Design Workshop - it started with my friend's journey to create a full RPG. He wound up publishing Red Markets, which began here http://slangdesign.com/rppr/2013/09/game-designer-workshop/game-designer-workshop-episode-1-concept/ I'm currently working on a horror RPG called Ruin The theme is architectural horror - think House of Leaves, Silent Hill and Control.

Len posted:Tell me more I've talked about it on some of the podcasts - I can dig up links. Basic idea is every PC is a traveler who checks into a hotel and walks up in a labyrinth that looks like the hotel at first. They can't leave the structure and doors will open up to pocket universes. Everyone is there for a reason and the key to escape is figuring out why. Some features: Character creation during game play - you just start the game and the first scenes set up who you are and why you're traveling. You progress from there. Collaborative narrative creation - vignette scenes allow flashbacks to flesh out PC backgrounds and set up found document back stories. Crafting mechanics to build supernatural weapons and tools Newest feature is architectural conflict resolution - the Structure is a bit like Inception/Dr. Strange - you can shape the labyrinth to a degree but so can the monsters. I haven't gotten too far on this yet but it's going to be a map-making system - trap your opponent in impossible architecture while they try to do the same to you.
