“Necropolis”
Ms. Lilian Trevithick, lady adventurer and radical steam technician, has come to the infamous Necropolis of Ao in search of adventure and the treasures that are rumored to lurk beneath the earth. She will find fiendish traps as well as useful equipment to help her survive. Can she make it past level 25 with her life intact?
“Necropolis” features procedurally generated dungeons that are never the same twice and a light-hearted steampunk aesthetic. Few games offer the opportunity to wear a Shiny Monocle of Science!

The Bryant Collection

It is interactive fiction, which means that the player types commands in text, and the game responds with text descriptions.

My tabletop system, the Lightweight Omnipotent Roleplaying Engine, and its first sourcebook, Belief. This world is not as it should be.

Did the fairy brighten the humans’ lives, or curse them with poisons and spoiled food? Only you can decide.

I put it off until the last minute, but it’s finally done.

Looming
This game is about two lovers named January and September.
No, wait; it’s about a group of people who don’t believe in the sky.
No, it’s about a pantheon of scientific disciplines.
Or maybe it’s about an ancient beast who knew exactly when it was going to die, and how.
It’s about a place. A place called Looming.

After a long journey, you will reach the Narthex, the waiting place before the oracle. There you must wait until your time. Then you will be given the answer to a single question. This game has two endings. The second is not worth getting.
