Game Design
Games are about having fun. I just happen to have more fun making them than playing them.

Mutants & Mystics is a long-term project that I’ve been working on periodically since 2019. It has grown and evolved from its first incarnation, and there's still a long way to go before I’m completely satisfied with it. A limited playtest was conducted in 2023, offering valuable insights that reassured me I’m on the right path to creating a fun game.
The project began with a poem, which inspired a short story that became the foundation for the game’s setting.
Mutants & Mystics takes place along the Glass Dunes, a desolate wasteland of iridescent sand teeming with all manner of terrible beasts. The inhabitants of this broken world struggle to survive after a calamity that caused earth-shattering destruction.
Yet, there is rebirth. New peoples rise from the ashes of the old world, their strange powers colliding with those who cling to the ever-shrinking remnants of society.
