Regency: Jane Austen Never Thought About Math
I have had a tremendous amount of fun making Regency. Thinking out all the various tropes, planning the mini games, and digging in to a time period that I find to be so much fun.

“Vampire: The Masquerade – Pathogens” or “Some Resources and Things From my Recent V5 Game(s)”
