The Challenge

When Covid hit, Privateer Press pivoted from concentrating on in-person war games to role-playing games (to be played remotely), which is what the company was founded on 20 years before.

We refreshed the game, giving new details of the setting, and updated the system to adhere to the 5e rules of the world’s most popular role-playing game (which can't be named for legal reasons).

My design adheres to the 5e system that players are familiar with. A complete series of style sheets meant everything was formatted as players expect, and allowed me to quickly lay out the books to meet compressed deadlines.

I created branding, and designed a new "5e" logo, which was used with all of Privateer Press's RPG product line for several years.

After the highly successful initial Kickstarter campaign (nearly 600% funded), I managed and designed several 3-book KS campaigns every six months for nearly three years
