Savage Worlds
Here is a list of my publications for Savage Worlds, for both Pinnacle Entertainment Group and third-party publishers.
Sole or Primary Author
Deadlands: Abominable Northwest is a gazetteer for the Deadlands setting by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. It covers the three states/territories making up the Pacific Northwest: Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Each state has its own extensive chapter that explores major locations, then ends with ten Savage Tales taking place in that state or territory.
I had a blast writing this one. To this day it is my proudest achievement for Pinnacle.

Expedition: South Pacific is a mini-campaign for the Rippers Resurrected setting by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. It sends the Rippers deep into the South Pacific to track the protégé of one of the Rippers’ most notorious enemies, who seeks to revive his master’s insidious experiments. The adventure takes the heroes from San Francisco to exotic ports-of-call like Honolulu, Tahiti, and Rangiroa.

Major Contributor
The Savage Worlds Science Fiction Companion is a supplement for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, with a universe of new rules, character options, and creatures for expand on science fiction-themed Savage Worlds games. I was principally in charge of expanding the Bestiary to include whatever I could imagine, including several sample galactic empires. As with the other companions, my favorite contribution was the section on Science Fiction styles in the Setting Rules, where I expound on the ten most popular types of sci-fi, from Cyberpunk to Space Opera.

The Savage Worlds Horror Companion is a supplement for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, which is chock-full of rules and options to flesh out horror-themed Savage Worlds scenarios. While I didn’t contribute as much to this book (as I was writing the Abominable Northwest at the time) I did contribute several arcane items and creatures for the Bestiary. My greatest contribution, though, was the extensive section on Horror Styles in the Setting Rules chapter! It was fun tapping into my literary background to explore major genres of horror, just as I had done for the Fantasy Companion before.

The Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion is a supplement for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, offering a massive suite of new options to enhance your fantasy-themed Savage Worlds games. I worked extensively on this product, designing many of the new ancestries, character options, equipment (my favorite being the lifestyle and hirelings, and the poisons rules), traps, and the Stronghold rules example. I used the original Adventure Edition Fantasy Companion to massively flesh out the Bestiary. But my favorite contribution was the section on Fantasy Styles in the Setting Rules chapter! That was a blast to write.

Deadlands: Hell on the High Plains is a gazetteer for the Deadlands setting by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. It explores six states/territories in much greater detail: Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and The Dakotas. Each one has its own chapter which leads with an overview, then offers detailed entries for many of the most important sites to be found in that state/territory.
I wrote the Wyoming and Montana chapters, which include entries for Casper, Buute, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Helena, Laramie, and many more. At the end of each chapter I included a dozen or so Savage Tales taking place in and around those two states.

Islands of Fire: Islands of Fire is a mini-setting for Savage Worlds set in the fantasy world of Mokukai, a place of vast skies and dangerous oceans, used for crafting weapons in Mokukai. volcanic islands and treacherous reefs, dense jungles and warm lagoons. The world is infused with magic, tradition, and mystery. Voyagers sail by torchlight aboard double- hulled voyaging canoes, while wilderness guides ply the forests and seas. Priests beseech the gods for favors, while the sorcerers steal that power from the gods themselves. The most dedicated warriors even learn how to empower their martial skills with spiritual energy. But deep beneath the earth and in hidden pockets of the world, evil stirs — cruel devils, gods twisted by corruption, and worshippers of even darker powers threaten to upend the natural order and bring ruin to Mokukai.
