Ghost Dice Readings
Ghost Dice is a glow-based "fortune telling" system. While I don't personally believe in things like psychic powers, I do believe that systems that allow you to introspect and explore your inner world are benefitial to use, regardless of whether you think the reading is based on chance or fate. To that end, I designed the Ghost Dice system, a way to "read your energy" using a blacklight, glow material, and translucent dice.
When you shine a blacklight onto a glowing material, the material "charges" rapidly, making it glow brightly with as little as a second's light. By placing a piece of glow reactive paper inside of a small box, rolling translucent dice on the paper, and shining a blacklight into the box, the blacklight quickly charges the paper but leaves shadows, or "ghost dice," where the dice were rolled. You can see examples of Ghost Dice results in the images below.

To read about the full Ghost Dice system, the instructional zine is embedded in this page below for browsers that support it. If your browser does not support the embed, the zine can also be found here.
If you want a taste of Ghost Dice without constructing a full box, the printable minizine uses a single dice for a quick Fate reading. You can try get a digitally generated reading on the Digital Demo page.

Older Games
In another life I ran the solo game dev studio Starcap Games. While these projects are rather old, I am still proud of what I made during that time. The tiles below show various projects, some fully released and some still in development/playtesting when I left the game dev world. I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I did making them.
