​

• Wrote and ran two adventures:

  • A two-part Kindred of the East adventure ("Scions of Heaven and Hell"), about a group of dhampyrs who save Boshin War-era Japan from demonic corruption in Part One, then must save the entire world in Part Two when the first part's main villain returns as the Demon Emperor and ushers in the apocalypse. The Gen Con players particularly enjoyed the adventure, especially the epic final battle against the Demon Emperor.

  • A Shadow of the Demon Lord adventure ("The Darkest Day"), about a motley group of adventurers who must save a town from being sacrificed as part of a bitter orc wizard's personal vengeance crusade against the world. The players, most of whom were new to the game system and world, enjoyed their first experiences with the game.
