GIRL [in] TANKTOP

GIRL [in] TANKTOP is a card-based solo survival horror ttrpg, all about a gal surviving a space alien monster doing its classice space alien monster thing: killing people!

Draw cards as you fight for survival, adjusting your ending scores until you draw the Queen Of Spades and finally confront the monster itself! Multiple different outcomes can happen, fight for survival, look for ways to kill the monster, hope it doesn't find a way to escape, or perhaps find another side to the monster, one that you never thought you would consider...

Originally made for the 2026 Queer Game Jam over on itch!

Your Honour Is As Dirt

Let's play a game. You imagine a knight.

They are noble, gallant, honourable, and above all, chivalrous?

Alas, for that is the fiction we have made of them.

YOUR HONOUR IS AS DIRT is a solo ttrpg about playing a more grounded knight, a member of the landed nobility. It is about playing as someone who is empowered to do whatever they want with to their foes in battle, and how so-called honour is but a drop in a bucket compared to their violence. You will be faced with objectionable circumstances, awful choices, and for little reward.

All this, and it fits on a postcard, and is FREE for the taking. Grab it on itch.io here.

For Steel You Are - A Romance Journaling Game

For steel you are, And stone you hold, Your long beams stretch, And your deep pipes bring.

Inside you I am home, Inside you I am safe.

You guide me everywhere I go, Down walkways, and corridors, Expanses, and stairways.

Can I join you? Could I love you? Will you love me too?

What Is This ?

For Steel You Are is a solo journaling game about a robot who falls in love with an unfathomable megastructure. To play, you will need a place to write your responses, a d8 to roll, and a yearning deep inside for concrete, steel, and being like a mote of dust inside something beyond comprehension.

Every step you take within the Structure fills you with a sense of love and wonder that will soon render you unrecognizable. Love the Strucutre, and maybe it will love you too.

Inspired by BLAME!, NaissanceE, and The Ground Itself.

Made for the Faggot Game Jam!

The Core - A Setting Guide

The Core is a place deep, deep underground. Some might say impossibly deep.

While its societies may look familiar, dig a little deeper and one will find they differ greatly. Every person here is part of a rich tapestry, a blending of many species and constructs and their cultures.

Hey there, as part of the Tiny Worlds TTRPG Jam, I've assembled some of my worldbuilding into a 7 page setting guide! Get down to the Core for some pulpy retro-future sci-fi adventure and intrigue!

Within, you'll find information on:

The Core overall

DownTown, a place of tinkering and adventure

The Haydrian Mass Foundries, a city-factory of industry and spirituality

The Shattered Pillar, a place where reality itself has fallen apart

The Nexus, a secluded machine hivemind

The Core - A Setting Guide by Deric Bindel

A pulpy retro-future sci-fi setting for action, mystery, and adventure!

I had a lot of fun working on this, and making the section marker art! Here are all five collected together:

My Hands In The Fates Of Gods

My Hands In The Fates Of Gods is a solo journaling game about the final chapter in a coming-of-age adventure of a young woman. 

It is about the hard choices that must be made, and the sacrifices that happen because you can’t be everywhere all at once. It is about the horrors of the past being dredged up to bring forth some new terrible regime. It is about the duty we have to nature and to others in times when we have the power to help.

Write about the world and the forces fighting for their futures, and then make many hard choices about how the final confrontation plays out, charting each step in the fight. And then, once the dust is settled,  you will write about how the world moves on.

This tale is a tragedy, but one in which you, the sole person able to challenge the Fates, have the power to steer.

This game is inspired by Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind, Princess Mononoke, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, and a blog post by Thought Punks.
