sulcata | Brendan McLeod
Brendan is a designer from Key West, Florida, now living in Texas.
Brendan's games are interested in how mechanics reinforce narrative experiences and how creative twists can revitalize classic tropes. Tinged with a haze of surrealism, his stories aspire to dark sincerity without relying on ugly grit.
A perennial, ambitious GM, he also designs video games professionally and volunteers at a center for wildlife rehabilitation. He's also the host, GM, and producer of OATHSWORN, a Band of Blades actual play podcast.
A jailbreak! A murder mystery party! A public surgery! A fancy funeral! All this and more awaits you in SPIRE. Play as dark elf revolutionaries working to subvert the rule of their oppressors. Get into trouble and have fun doing it.
