Other games

This is an index of the other games I published.
The projects I'm more proud of, have a dedicated page:
- The Black Dogs 'zine (a fanzine dedicated mostly to LotFP but compatible with OSR in general)
The Crying Blades (an OSR full game, two manuals as of now)
The Crying Hack (a short version of the Crying Blades, based on the Black Hack)
A few OSR adventures (The Village and the Witch / Tukram's Tomb / The Tall Witch)
City of Judas (a PbtA game about mercenaries in the holy land)

As for the other games, here they are, divided in a couple of sections (PbtA and other games).

Powered by the Apocalypse

A Land of Ice and Blades
A game about intrigue and adventures, about the deeds of single characters and the struggles of entire populations, about the fate of lonely heroes and the destinies of nations and tribes.
A Land of Ice and Blades was born to try to emulate epic grand stories (ASOIAF?) by using the engine of Apocalypse World (and its S&S/dark hacks such as Dark Age and Fallen Empires and A Storm Eternal).
It starts with some world-building done all together at the table, then the game runs with a set of "table moves" that dictate the times of scenes, episodes and seasons, and with a rotating Game Master.

XPANDABLES is an RPG about violence and tough choices and about the peaceful lives of those around you who are not fighting. It's a game about the sound of battles and the silence among the stars.
It's a game about blood, stress and trauma, and how these affect the lives of the characters when they're back home. And it's a game fighting with remote controlled cyborgs, about apocalypse and technology, relationships and space stations. Is this enough for you?

The Giant is a freak of nature, and a war machine. But he needs this Little Kid to tell him what to do, all the time. The Little Kid is... just a little kid? No, he has more to offer.

Maelstrom Dreamers
Maelstrom Dreamers is a slow, exprimental game - a simple role playing game for two players, revolving around your dreams.
It requires many sessions to be completed, but these sessions can be of a short duration - it can even be played as filler while you wait for other players, or at the end of the session of another game.
It is a game for two players who are prepared to face a game with a peculiar rhythm and willing to respect its rules without taking shortcuts.
It demands patience so that its story arc can reach its natural ending.
It is a game about the apocalypse and the world that came after, and about Dreamers, those who answered the peculiar call of the Maelstrom.
Maelstrom Dreamers is a game to be played using two books, the Dreamer Book and the Maelstrom Book.

Fate Of Heroes is an hack of Fate Accelerated, suited to play the role of adventurers forced to become heroes to fight some dark evil threat.
The game is built on the foundation of Fate Accelerated (an Evil Hat product), with several influences also from Apocalypse World (by Vincent Baker).
The game contains 22 pages with a brief introduction to the setting, a set of short rules for players and GM, additional instructions for the GM to run the game.
You play to:
* Do amazing things, live incredible adventures
* See the characters struggle, together, for a greater good
* Explore and discover within the Eternal City and the wild outer regions
The Artwork is by Dwayne Scott, who was so kind to let me use his sketches for this product.

A bunch of unlikely heroes
The game is a fantasy framework that allows you to play adventures in a remote corner of an imaginary land.
Part of the setting is determined during characters creation. Players have the chance to bring into the game for example certain non-human species like elfs, dwarfs or half-ogres. Magic or divine powers are also probably present and hinted at, again during the characters creation process.
There is some inspirational material available for the GM, but the best approach to the game is to come to the table ready to do a lot of improvisation.

The BioMet Infection is a cyberpunk RPG for 4 players and a Master, inspired by John Harper's Lady Blackbird, based on mechanics vaguely resembling Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World.
Each player will receive one of the four pregenerated characters: Dan Nabot (philosopher and former priest), Eric Hooper (detective and former cop), Lysa K. (hacker and former fraudster), Adam Newborn (mutant and former military).
In just fourteen pages, the game contains the background setting, in classic cyberpunk style, the adventure seed, the characters' sheets to play with, and the instruction for the Master. This is all you need for a few sessions of play.
