Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a mid-30s guy who loves games of all kinds. I play tabletop far less than I'd like to, and I think about it far more than I ought to.
This is a home for my rpg thoughts. Not all of them are good or original, but they're all I've got.
All-Out Apocalypse
I have written a game called All-Out Apocalypse. It's a send up of the Fallout franchise (and other pop culture post apocalypse settings) using a simple d6 dice pool system.
Mutant Grinder (1d20 Down The Line)
I am working on a game provisionally called Mutant Grinder. It's a pretty bug standard d20 system, but you roll your stats in order using a single d20 roll for each. You also get two weird mutations based on your stats.
The Party
(I've stolen this concept from my brother, who is also the only person in this list at the time I wrote this).
Christian Hendriks - My brother, mentioned in Games I Hope To Run Someday, All Stones Left Unturned: Ruminating on the death of my West Marches campaign, and Problem: How to inject more roleplaying into your West Marches Hexcrawl?.
