I can assist you in the following ways:
Consulting
- I offer 1-hour consultation in video for free.
- I can give you a perspective on the market, advise you on your audience, review your crowdfunding copy, and suggest your next steps.
- I can provide constructive comments on your game’s mechanics, how to tweak them so that they create the experience you’re aiming for.
Design
- I understand that experience is created by people following rules, and I consider every aspect of the product as part of the rules (more here).
- I give special attention to the multiple kinds of mechanics and texts: for GMs, for players, to be read before the game, to be read during, etc.
- I always come back to the table: What is happening in the real world? How is this piece of mechanics/worldbuilding/plot directly useful in creating a gaming experience around the table?
Editing
- I’m easy to talk with and great with providing constructive feedback.
- I’ll keep your terminology, formatting and world-building consistent.
- I’ll make sure your text expresses the abstract concept you’re going for, and help you define it. I’m excellent with clear phrasing and concise explanations.
- I can handle a project. I’m goal-focused and work well within constraints such as a budget, target audiences, and deadlines.
Writing
- I specialise in humour, in the style of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, solid characterisation, and fun dialogue.
- I love creating big-picture metaphysics, and extrapolate from it to the daily and mundane.
My main passion is turning more people into players, and then give those players the tools that’ll help them enjoy their games more.
I’ve been part of the industry since 2002, as a writer, editor, translator, designer, shop owner, publisher, event organizer, and more. I’m immersed in tabletop games of all forms, role-playing, miniatures or board, and I’m good with, and worked with, video games as well. I’m a 3-times ENnie nominee, one time Silver winner.
I use industry-standard rates, usually per hour.
I also know how to drive a tank, if that helps.
