Julian Kay's Mutants & Co. @arbco - Tumblr Blog

Queer author and game designer. Creator of Hulks & Horrors and Arcana Rising.

Alright folks, I'm going to put this plainly: I'm broke.

Savings run dry this month, I'm still no closer to finding work, and now I'm too short to even afford to flee. I'm fucked without help.

Setting a goal to keep my rent paid but any amount over and above will just be covering the rest of the bills and feeding me and the cat.

Look at her, she's such a precious beastie.

Cloud Empress Rulebook FOR FREE!

Several months ago, I did development work on Cloud Empress, a standalone, Nausicaa-inspired TTRPG by worlds of watt. It's full, beautiful rulebook recently went up on DriveThruRPG FOR FREE so I think folks should check it out. I'm really proud to have taken part in the project and think the end result is tremendous! Plus, there's so much more coming for it in the near future!

Time to wake up this Tumblr and put it to work! I'm Julian Kay, and I used this account mostly to post my cool characters commissioned by awesome artists in the past, but I'm an indie game writer these days, and I lead with Mutants in the Now, my main game line right now! It's the retro-modern, mutant-animal, role-playing game that recreates the mutant animal role-playing of the '80s and '90s, but with modern mechanics and progressive themes. It's time to mutate all over again! Seen above is the original cover of Mutants in the Now, with art by @fontesdev. Take a look at j/k! Games!
