You direct the construction, deployment and use of a variety of Assets including Rockets, Satellites, Probes and a range of transportable Modules for Colonizing & Terraforming remote Planets & Moons in the Universe.

Wildlife Explorer – Birds of North America

I created this PC Bird Watching Simulation Game in 2019 when I started Indigo Games after leaving Microsoft, prior to joining The Creative Assembly.

I released it via a number of 3rd Party Web-Sites, and it got very positive reviews.

You can download the .exe file using the link below.

It requires any PC running MS-Windows 7 or later, with a DirectX9-capable GPU.

Enjoy!

Dungeons & Dragons

I’ve been running D&D Games for the last 45 years, since a friend of mine at school introduced me to D&D with the iconic “Bar Room Brawl” Scenario released in the White Dwarf Magazine – Issue#11.

Here’s a link to some D&D Resources related to my current “Adventures in Saltmarsh” Campaign…

Knights of Valour

Days of Thunder

I’ve been working on a new Medieval-themed Table-top Role Playing Game (TTRPG) for the last year.

In Knights of Valour (“KoV”) a group of players work together as descendants of an Ancient Order of Knights, The Knights of Valour, who are tasked with completing Quests dictated by their Order.

The goal for this Project is to release a new RPG that is Simple, Accessible, Concise & Free.

Simple:

Back to Basics with 6 Distinct Medieval Character Roles harking back to the early days of Fantasy Role-Playing: Fighter, Wizard, Ranger, Thief, Bard & Monk.

Each of the 6 Roles has a distinct play-style, with each having a Role-specific Game Mechanic to Master, & Role-specific Buffs (a.k.a. Feats) that makes each Role play very differently.

There are no Character Levels in KoV. Instead you earn Valour Points as a result of note-worthy role-playing and defeating Monsters, and you spend Valour Points to purchase Buffs for your character. You can increase your Physical Stats, or you can purchase Role-specific Buffs that increase the effectiveness of your Character in the Party.

Accessible:

The Rules for Character Creation are less than 20 Pages long. In addition there’s a short Appendix for each Role that contains the Role-Specific Rules.

You can import & use D&D5e Items & Spells for use in KoV – guidelines for doing so are outlined in the Rules manuals.

Concise:

There are 6 Physical Stats for all Characters: Agility, Strength, Health, Intelligence, Empathy & Wisdom. These are expressed as simple +/- dice modifiers.

Instead of rolling dice to determine your character’s initial Stats, you assign your 6 initial Physical Stats a number from +3 to -3, ensuring that, after assigning all Stats, the Sum of all 6 Stat Modifiers is Zero.

This means that you can create a Character that is specific to your Role in the Party, balanced by virtue of the zero-sum rule, and you never have to deal with the fallout from a set of unlucky dice rolls during character creation!
