#tabletop game dev

Been a bit since i did anything, do i participated in the Game Jam for Riley Hopkins' Interstitial 2e. I'm really proud with how this came out and think I did a good job filling out the character archetype I was going for.

hey so i just spontaneously generated a tabletop game. check out this blurb:

"Girl Time is a roleplaying game set in an unknown era of Ooo from the show “Adventure Time” in which girls are a noble class of adventurers who quest through the land in search of dames to rescue and treasure to find. Girl Time is more focused on narrative and fun than rules and combat. Situations can change from one moment to the next, and women can do anything."

rules-light, shenanigans-heavy, 20 righteous pages, get your girls (lesbians) together and answer the call of adventure!

Ska's the Limit is a card game where you and your friends compete to build the best Ska band.  Each player builds up a group by playing up to 5 "Band Cards" that can increase the band's Fame, Talent or have other effects.  Each Round, there will be multiple "Venue Cards" dealt to the table which offer a different number of Points.  However, each Venue can only hold one Band at a time and may have special requirements on who can play.  There are also "Song Cards" which have instant effects on the game and "Favors" which can be traded freely between my players or spent towards Venues.

Candy Valley is a Powered By The Apocalypse game in which the players become heroes of the titular Valley.  In a world on the brink of great change, it is up heroes like Seeryups,  Confectionists, Jestirs and more to protect The Valley and its peoples.  To do so, they must prove themselves worthy to the 5 Candeities, earn their Blessings and then return to The Great Plain to revitalize The Valley.

This game is a work-in-progress, currently going through heavy revision.  A prototype version can be found at

Welcome to Warmshade Games!  I’m Patrick, an amateur tabletop game developer looking to share my work. 

I’ve been playing tabletop games since my friend introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons in Middle School and a few years back decided to give a go at designing some things of my own. 

First Playtest of Wizard Crawl Co-operative mechanics worked well, but were thrown to the side to play a more competitive player v. player game. Dice and cards mechanics mostly work as planned. 

Scribbles on cards are due to balancing between playing rounds.  Monsters need a lot of evening out. At the moment they’re either too easy or too hard. Needs to have a more gradual progression.  Finishing the game was near impossible on the first round.
