My latest game, Lost in the Fantasy World (LitFW) , is on Kickstarter right now! Go check it out and help us make the best out of it! This is a Visitation Fantasy Minimalist RPG with a Narrative Bent. What does that mean? First, Visitation Fantasy is that kind of fiction which puts real people, from our world, into fantasy settings. In LitFW, you play as kids and teens who were transported to a fantasy world and now are trying to get back home with the help of the Mentor (the GM in this game that also assumes a role in the campaign) and magical artifacts given to them. It’s obviously influenced by the classic D&D cartoon, Chronicles of Narnia and Neverending Story. It’s also a game about friendship, finding your true home and the meaning of being a hero. The characters will have to form bonds and help each other to be able to overcome their challenges. They will also try to get back home and maybe find their true place might be elsewhere and make sacrifices to become a true hero. ...

Some of you may already know my game Lost in the Fantasy World. I released it in a very condensed format at a RPG Pamphlet a few months ago. It’s a game inspired by those stories of kids and teenagers that get into a Fantasy World and receive great power and importance in there, while also trying to find their way back home but get stuck in that setting for many different reasons. I created a minimalistic narrative system for it inspired amongst other games (it’s hard to keep track of all influences) by Alan Bahr’s Tiny D6 and Evil Hat’s FATE (it is however its own thing). Now I am going to publish what I am calling the Deluxe Version, which expands the game, keeping its simplicity, but offering some more rules options, tools to generate Characters, Monsters, Locations, Adventures and much more. It also has sections with guidance and good practices for playing it, introducing kids into the hobby and helping them run their own games. Finally, the book also comes with a section cont...

Nathan Treme is a freaking genius and started this magnificent Dungeon Pamphlet Jam over itch.io (although I can’t use it because it does not accept PayPal). He has been created some great small adventures and dungeons in pamphlet format and sending it to backers of his patreon and selling the PDFs over DriveThruRPG. I, obviously, wanted to join this jam and do something with this charming format. So I did something I’ve been wanting to make for a long time. An RPG inspired by a cartoon that was inspired by an RPG, the classic Dungeons & Dragons series of the 80s! So using the things I was designing for my kid’s RPG and some other gaming influences I made a quick and simple system that offer enough options to be interesting to more mature players but that still fit in a single pamphlet. The game is called Lost in the Fantasy World ! In it, you play as a kid or teenager who was teleported to this fantastic world of adventure and been give a powerful magical artifact by this ...
