The Challenge

When Covid shut down in-person gaming, Privateer Press returned to its roots—reviving its classic RPG for a new, remote-friendly era. I led the redesign of the packaging and books, adapting the system to align with the familiar 5e ruleset (you know the one), ensuring a smooth transition for players.

To support rapid production, I created a full set of style sheets for consistent, streamlined layouts under tight deadlines. I also developed new branding and a custom "5e" logo that became the face of Privateer’s RPG line for years.

The initial Kickstarter crushed expectations—nearly 600% funded—and kicked off a successful run of 3-book campaigns that I designed every six months for nearly three years.
