Miscreated Creatures in Hardback (Lulu)
Miscreated Creatures in PDF (DriveThruRPG)
If we lived in a world without adventure games, I think I’d still have written a catalog of monsters. It’s something I’ve been doing all my life. At six I would challenge friends to give me letters or numbers so I could transform those shapes into monsters. At ten I absentmindedly doodled a creature on a worksheet, and the devoutly religious kid I was partnered with got scared because I had invited a demon into our schoolwork. When I was twelve I wrote and illustrated a series of superhero comics, but spent more time drafting a massive codex of colorful bad guys than I did writing stories. My creative energies are perpetually drawn towards horrible creatures, and now I’ve finally turned that preoccupation into 45 pages of the best writing I’ve ever managed to produce.
The book’s cover is another gorgeous piece from Ian Hagan. Each of the twenty monsters within are illustrated by Blake Holland, and laid out in a two page spread designed to maximize the book’s usefulness at the game table. The PDF version is available both in portrait format similar to the print book, and in a landscape format which fits each full spread on a single screen, or sheet of paper if printed out.
With regards to the print edition, please note: Lulu does not have the systems in place that would allow me to provide a free PDF with every physical purchase. I will happily provide complimentary PDFs to anyone who contacts me directly with their Lulu order ID.
What people are saying about Miscreated Creatures:
“I haven’t been that into RPGs in 2020 – imaginary peril is less appealing to me with this much real peril, I guess? But I just read that cover-to-cover.”

Go Die in a Hole was so good!
Can you make more? Your analysis of B1 was great and you can see the impact of the convo in your later work!
I’m touched that you enjoyed Go Die in a Hole. Unfortunately it was Arnold’s project more than mine, and Arnold hasn’t yet been interested in pursuing it further. He’s a busy guy with a lot on his plate, and making podcasts is time consuming work. It is sad, because I can see how we had a lot of room to grow and develop that project into something special, but sometimes that’s just the nature of independent creative work. There’s only so much time in a day, and I sometimes things just don’t fit. I don’t know if there will ever be more of Go Die in a Hole, but I’d certainly be happy to participate if there is.
