Code Monkey Publishing (and before January 2008 Zeitgeist Games) publish the Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting “Blackmoor.” Originally created by the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, Dave Arneson, the products are built to bring back the flavor of the old school of gaming.

Adventure Author
February 2006 - Summer 2009
My first adventure for Blackmoor, “Spirit of the Moon,” was an adaptation of an outline submitted by author Richard Pocklington. The adventure premiered at the home show for the campaign, MegaCon in Orlando, Florida. My second adventure “Communications Breakdown” premiered the following year at MegaCon. At GenCon 2009 I wrote three premier adventures which are currently in editing for potential general release.

Campaign Coordinator
Summer 2006 - Summer 2008
As a Campaign Coordinator I am one of a team who develops material for the campaign. In the past my responsibilities have included editing organizational documents to make them consistent for story, developing new items in the flavor of the campaign to make available for players and editing materials for rules balance and reviewing adventures for errors and issues.

Layout Artist

I was the layout artist for the Blackmoor product line’s premier product for
