Alyur Efforts
Tabletop Role-Playing Game
2022-2024
This is a casual narrative TRPG system that I came up with to quickly set up and run improvised campaigns, designed to encourage players to be creative and solve problems in fun and oftentimes ridiculous ways! It uses a freeform pair of skill and effort point mechanics that allows players to build whatever character they want, and injects some chaos into battles with the bonus board system. Alyur Efforts is not tied to any setting, so GMs can set the game wherever they like!
This game requires a pen, paper, d4s, d6s, and d10s. Imagination and a calculator are also helpful.
MOT
Word Tile Puzzle Game
2023
A quick and simple game of forming short words. To score points, players must manipulate a 3x3 grid of letter tiles to create new words in a straight line in any direction. Test your strategy and your vocabulary against your friends!
Ego & Opus
Player vs Player vs Enemy Deckbuilding Card Game
2022
In this game, opposing players assemble rival teams of artists in order to defeat a common enemy: a team of self-operating Egos. To do this, artists must attack and perform creative works against their targets, taking turns executing their effects and results. However, works are queued up in secret and only revealed once the battling begins. Use careful planning and calculated (un)cooperation to be the first player to defeat enough dastardly Egos and win the game!
Designed for 2 players, but includes alternative rules that accommodate for 1-8 players. This game is mildly complex, featuring a handful of inter-connected gameplay systems and lasting about 60-80 minutes.
