#AprilTTRPGMaker No.1: My name is Jeremy Puckett, and I'm an academic librarian from Kentucky. I'm the sole owner and writer for Blackwing Productions, an indie imprint that publishes through @DriveThruRPG, as well as a participant in the community content program.
Nº5: My favorite game to work on is always the one I'm working on *right now*. (That happens to be the modern horror-action setting Children of the Dark.) System-wise, I love designing for #CortexPrime as much as I enjoyed Cortex Plus. It's just fun to work with!
Nº6: I've been in love with Balsera-style initiative ever since I got introduced to it in #MarvelHeroicRoleplaying, but I'm just generally in favor of meta-currency. So bennies from #SavageWorlds, fate points from #FateCore, that sort of thing. It's a toss-up.
Nº10: There's something immensely satisfying about just breaking out the soda and pretzels over a game of #SavageWorlds. I tend to contemplate more when I'm running #CortexPlus or #CortexPrime, so it's a different kind of enjoyment, but they're the games that give me peace of mind.
Nº11: Socially conscious, feminist, LGTB+ friendly, sex-positive, self-deprecating, and self-aware humor. There was an author a while back that said "Being an asshole gets more sales," or words to that effect. My brand is an effort to prove that wrong each and every day.
More directly, my brand is Blackwing Productions, an imprint on DTRPG that makes Savage Worlds and Cortex stuff. My logo is a black circle with black wing outlines.
Nº13: @boymonster is someone who inspires me, without and whom I probably never would have had the motivation to start my own imprint. I'm generally influenced by authors like Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, and Diane Duane. Alice in Wonderland hit me at a formative age too.
Nº19: #CortexPrime, without question. I'm writing and designing for Cortex primarily these days. #SavageWorlds is a close second.
Nº22: I keep a bunch of Google Docs with ideas and notes, then struggle to name them so that I can keep track of what's in each one. I also have bunches of Word documents with half-written games and adventures that I sometimes open up to see if I've got anything for them.
Nº27: There are so many good ones out there. I could mention TK Nyarlathotep or Deanna Gilbert or @Epidiah or @boymonster among many, many others. What about Tim Bannock and Monica Valentinelli and Fred Hicks? I can't pick just one! And anyone I missed, I'm sorry!
Nº29: I don't belong to just one community. I'm a writer, a librarian, a designer, a member of the human race. If I had to pick which ones I belong to the most, I'd say RPG.net, the social justice movement, the #SavageWorlds fandom, and the #CortexPrime design community.
Nº23: Can I just keep saying @boymonster? Also, a huge shoutout to Pinnacle Entertainment Group, and especially Jodi Black, who was so gracious when I approached them about a #SavageWorlds license. Same with Monica Valentinelli, who was amazing to work with through Margaret Weis Productions.
