Gravity's Folly

Gravity's Folly is a campaign setting for D&D 5e that takes place in a sci-fi world where technology has advanced enough as to be indistinguishable from magic! As such, the mechanical rules of magic are completely unchanged from the basic D&D ruleset, but the flavor is entirely grounded in science and technology

Here's a blog post about it, and look for more in the future as it gets more and more fleshed out as my friends and I play through it!

Catharicosa

Catharicosa will be a suite of platform agnostic tools for TTRPGs to make your game easier as both DM and player.

Catharicosa Notes and Starship Console are already in the bag, but look for more to come!
