D&D 4e for Zeitgeist Games

Blackmoor Campaign Setting

Credits: Writing portions of Chapters 6 and 7, partial development of Chapters 4 and 5.

Notes: Writing and development on this one. Blackmoor was created by Dave Arneson, co-creator of D&D, and was the first D&D campaign setting ever published. In addition to the portions I wrote, I’ve read through much of the new D20 version, and I think it’s got a really cool combination of old-style and new material.

Wizards Cabal

Credits: Chapter 1.

Dungeons &Dragons 4E for Expeditious Retreat Press

Advanced Player’s Guide

Credits: The entirety of the book, save for the Craft’s system and a few tweaks by Owen K. C. Stephens.

Notes: An enormous undertaking, intended to bring a lot of past-edition options into 4E. This includes variants on old races and classes, designed to work with WotC’s upcoming plans (so far as I know them), rather than against them. A tough project, but one I’m immensely proud of.

Counsel of Primogen

Counsel of Primogen was published by White Wolf for Vampire: the Masquerade.

Credits: Introduction, first half of Chapter One: Hallowed Halls of Power

State of Grace

State of Grace was published by White Wolf for Vampire: the Masquerade.

Credits: Introduction: Mysterious Ways; "The Twisted Cross" section of Chapter Two: Tainted by the Blood; first half of Chapter Three: Beyond the Ken of Mortals; "First Blood" and "The Patmostine Order" in Chapter Four: The Faces of Faith; Chapter Five: Storytelling

Notes: Man, I had my fingers all over that book, didn’t I? Might be because I proposed it (though it did, of course, go through many transformations from concept to Justin’s outline). To date, it’s the only White Wolf project I’ve worked on that I personally proposed.
