Latest review: Tome of Adventure Design
I’m working through Matt Finch’s book of random tables chapter by chapter, rolling dice on camera to see how far random tables can get you toward a real adventure. Each part has a video and a write-up you can use at your own table.
On the workbench
Right now I’m defining the setting for an upcoming Halloween-flavored one-shot. Newsletter subscribers see each piece as it comes together, and help decide which game systems get statblocks.

Who’s behind Jickoby
I’m Brian. I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs since 1986. My first experience started when my stepbrother and a neighbor handed me a character sheet of a dwarf with a warhammer. I’ve been hooked ever since.
Jickoby is where I share the resources I create and use at my table and invite you to bring them to yours.
