Within the realm of tabletop RPGs, such as Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder 2e, I've actively engaged in the intricate process of game design. These endeavors encompassed a diverse array of projects, each thoughtfully crafted and licensed under the Open Game License (OGL). 

My journey as a game designer involved several critical stages, including:

Conceptualization: At the outset, I delved into the intricacies of world-building, storytelling, and mechanics. This involved brainstorming sessions, research, and idea generation to create unique and engaging gameplay experiences.

Mechanics and Balancing: I meticulously fine-tuned game mechanics, ensuring a harmonious blend of player interaction, challenges, and strategic choices. Balance between character abilities, environmental factors, and in-game resources played a pivotal role.

Playtesting: Rigorous playtesting sessions allowed me to refine and validate the game's rules and mechanics. This phase involved working with dedicated playtesters who provided valuable feedback and helped me identify areas for improvement.

Art and Aesthetics: Collaboration with artists and illustrators was essential to bring the game world to life. Choosing the right art style and imagery added depth to the storytelling, making the game visually captivating.

Narrative Design: Crafting compelling narratives and story arcs was integral to immersing players in the game's universe. This encompassed creating intricate plotlines, memorable characters, and world lore that would resonate with players.

Rulebook and Documentation: I meticulously documented the rules, abilities, and lore in rulebooks and guides, ensuring clarity for both players and game masters. This step was crucial to facilitate smooth gameplay and reference.

Digital Tools and Resources: I also developed digital resources, such as maps and pre-made character sheets, to enhance the overall gameplay experience. These tools streamlined character management and made the game more accessible to a broader audience.

Community Engagement: Interacting with the player community, gathering feedback, and addressing concerns were ongoing processes. This allowed for continuous improvement and fostering a sense of community around the games.

These projects demanded a blend of creativity, analytical thinking, and a deep appreciation for the tabletop RPG culture.
