If you're reading this, maybe you're wondering who I am and what I plan to do from here. So here is a guide to all that.

Who Am I?

I've been playing tabletop roleplaying games since I was 5. You should have seen what my cousin and I did to red box D&D. No pastime has ever appealed to me more. Now that I'm older, I want to put something out there for real. You know, before I die. I've made my share of elaborate homebrew systems, mods and scenarios for other games. The Village Secret is the first game I've published in any significant way. I'm guessing it has, like most indie RPGs, a 1% chance of being commercially successful. And since I have no love for social media or marketing, let's revise that to 0.5%. It doesn't matter. My goal is to put something out there that might, for someone, spark the same enthusiasm in gaming that I have. There might be many people outside my social circle is looking for a game like The Village Secret. So many people. Like, at least 4 people. As a publisher, I just want to improve the odds of reaching those people.

What's the Plan?

1. A printed version of The Village Secret is on the way through Indie Press Revolution.

2. I'll be running this game at Big Bad Con and a few venues around the Bay Area.

3. Supplements! I might need a little encouragement from my fans, but here are some that I'm already working on:

• More ready-to-play settings (hit me up if, for some reason, you'd like to write one)
• The Travelers' Secret - a supplement that lets you take The Village Secret on the road
• Down to Earth - a supplement that lets you play The Village Secret in a low magic setting

4. Getting other people to run this game seems pretty important. Anyone who wants to run this game can count on my full support (i.e., I'll give you a free copy of the game or whatever else you might need)

5. Social media... Kind of a necessity in this day and age, right? I'll do my best to find some way to do it that sparks joy for me.

6. Getting a "RbaV" game out there. If anyone ever mods this game, they have my blessing to say it's "Raised by a Village."

7. More games! I have ideas for more games (The Visitors, Unbelievable, The Impostors, an unnamed urban fantasy board/story game). One of them is already drafted, others are in a more preliminary form. Again, with some encouragement, I might put them out there someday.

That's it for now. If you're a Village Person I'd love to hear from you. Throw me a comment!
