Nine Worlds is a story-driven game with a unique system. It uses playing cards and a mechanic called Muses that helps groups create dramatic stories during play. The setting is a modern day fantasy where the gods and creatures of Greek myth are locked in a cold war among an astrological universe. Earth is at the center, cloaked in the illusion of modernity, but all around it are other worlds ruled by the gods and titans in a covert and sometimes overt battle or control of reality.

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.

A science fiction roleplaying game about adventurers, outlaws, and guns for hire making their fortune on the rough end of the galaxy. It is designed to be straightforward enough to pick up and be ready to play in just a few minutes as a one-off game, but with enough meat to play a short campaign as well. |
