As Above is a storytelling and role playing game for two to six players. The stories of the game are inspired by fairy tales, myths and legends. They take place in a fictional world, inspired by but not meant to represent any particular place or tradition on Earth. As Above is inspired by Russian Matroyshka dolls. These beautifully painted dolls nest one inside another, as the stories are intended to do in As Above.

Who are you in this story? If you're the Girl... God chose you to save the world. Congrats. Here's the thing: Nobody gave you any superpowers. You get no Slayer strength, no kung-fu grip, no costume. You're just you. |

Crisis is a story game of escalating stakes racing against disaster to tell a story. Players define the margins and color in the major points at the beginning of the session, and explore those plots, people, and places in detail during the scenes themselves. Each scene features a player character designated the Protagonist whose story is told for that scene. Another player is their Foil, putting obstacles in their way to test them and show all of us what they are capable of. |

A free-form, story-oriented, rules-lite, GM-less roleplaying game. It’s a bit like a highly simplified version of Universalis. I designed it to play with my kids, hence the use of Silliness as a constrained resource to keep the stories from getting out of hand.
