About Therabyd

Right now I'm leading the design of Dark Deeds in Freeport, an all-new PFRPG Freeport adventure from Open Design. Sharpen your cutlass and join us for demons, ancient artifacts, impossible crimes, and dark deeds!

My published work:

Halls of the Mountain-King, an adventure with 3e/OGL and 4e versions from Open Design, with Wolfgang Baur, Tim & Eileen Connors, Brandon Hodge, Ben McFarland, and Dan Voyce. I wrote The Eye of Grajava chapter. You can follow an excellent PbP of the 4e version here.

Zobeck Gazetteer: Dwarves of the Ironcrags, a 3e/OGL sourcebook from Open Design, with Wolfgang Baur, Adam Daigle, Brandon Hodge, Joshua Stevens, Dan Voyce, and Open Design patrons. It's available here.

Inspiring Terrains, a series of 4e articles on koboldquarterly.com focused on making terrain a more interesting part of encounters. The five installments cover snowy mountain peaks, underground mines, soggy fens, playas, and alleyways.

Courts of the Shadow Fey, a 4e paragon-tier adventure by Wolfgang Baur from Open Design. It's available here. I designed two of the early encounters (no spoilers, but one may remind you of Coney Island and the other has a mathematical inspiration) and some of the powers.

Hoard Magic: Tapping the Power of Treasure, a 4e article about tapping the magical power of treasure, in Kobold Quarterly 14. A 3e/PFRPG web enhancement is available at koboldquarterly.com in parts 1 and 2.

Tales of the Old Margreve, a PFRPG adventure anthology from Open Design, with Tim & Eileen Connors, Jonathan McAnulty, Ben McFarland, Richard Pett, Steven Robert, and Dan Voyce. I wrote The Griffon Hatchling Heist adventure. You can pick it up here.

Memorable Factions, a series of 4e articles on koboldquarterly.com focused on plug-and-play factions. Each organization has one set of mechanical powers but three different motivations, so the same group can be an ally, a foe, or simply working at cross-purposes. The first two installments are here and here.

Upcoming work:

The Red Eye of Azathoth, a Call of Cthulhu scenario anthology from Open Design with Chad Bowser, Tim and Eileen Connors, Andi Newton, and Ted Reed. Print preorders are available here. I wrote a scenario set in Kamakura Japan.

The Lost City, a 4e sandbox adventure anthology from Open Design, with Logan Bonner, Tracy Hurley, Quinn Murphy, and Jobe Bittman. Print preorders are available here. I wrote the Hanging Gardens of Kadralhu location.
