Hi, my name is Kevin and, once upon a time, I thought I had one really good idea for a game. I worked really hard at it and it became a reality: a book I could hold in my hands, a game that other people were excited to play! I was extremely happy; but, much to my horror, I’d let the game design genie out of the bottle, and it wouldn’t go back in: more ideas began to bloom in my mind and they needed to get out! Role-playing and story games are probably my favorite hobby. I’ve loved playing them, running them, and now I’m excited to be creating them! My first really good idea: The Ward – a game of modern medical drama. This is an Apocalypse World hack where the characters are medical professionals dealing with life, death and stress. It’s currently available as an&nbsp;<a href="http://www.magpiegames.com/product/the-ward-acute-care-edition-print/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Acute Care Edition</a>&nbsp;ashcan from Magpie Games. (You can also get the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/222793/The-Ward-Acute-Care-Edition" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">.pdf</a>&nbsp;at DriveThruRPG.) My current great ideas: <a href="https://princessworld.info/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Princess World</a>&nbsp;- a game about girls that rule. My daughter asked me to make this game, so, I am. SemiGods – legendary heroes balance responsibility and rivalry while deciding who the story is really about. And there are more where these came from! When I’m not making up fantastical worlds, I’m a stay-at-home dad, which is its own kind of fantastical world; your patronage will help me to balance both worlds. Due to the real life constraints of juggling two kids (with help!) my output level varies considerably; subscription based patronage grants me some stability that my life may not. Thank you again! P.S. You may know me as “Chroma” on some forums. Yes, that’s me. P.P.S.&nbsp; If you'd like to just buy some of my games, without the commitment, you can find most of them here: https://kpetker.itch.io/ P.P.P.S. I also put out a little Lasers &amp; Feelings hack called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/222889/Magic--Mischief" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Magic &amp; Mischief</a>. You can find it here on DriveThruRPG.

You will get everything from Fully Entangled, plus: 
 
Once per year, starting in 2018, I will run a session of one of my games for you.  I prefer to play in person, and make myself available at many conventions in the New England and nearby area: DexCon, Dreamation, JiffyCon, PAX East being a list of cons I attended this past year.  It would be your responsibility to arrange attendance to the convention, but I would provide a three to four hour game session for you and any other Patrons at this level. 
 
In the event that it is impossible for us to meet in person and play together, alternate arrangements can be made.
