welcome to the house of gaming storytellers

We write books and build RPGs around them. There's nothing better than that if you're that kind of artist who enjoys creating stories that pierce your readers' imagination.

See how we merge Poker decks with Role-Playing Games.

We don't like to play with dice. They lie. We want to play our hand.

poker decks

Some of us played our first RPG in high school, others in college. Some even waited until their hair turned grey.

Regardless of when and how we started, there was always one staple: dice.

Enter the poker deck, or blackjack deck, as we like to call it.

Why give fate so much control over your game nights? Let's add a twist. Let's play our hand instead.

All the games we design will be played with a custom-styled, French-suited deck, uniquely hand-drawn in Italy.

Funding can be a problem, so smarter-than-average people created crowdfunding. It wasn't us.

Grim Fronteira, our first attempt at begging for money with class, is already in its pre-launch phase.

While we look forward to the day when lead finally hits paper, we’re already working on the next project, which will be a deck of poker cards.

Another one? Yes, The Trader God, and you're going to like this one if you're into physics-accurate books, just like the rest of us.

authors

We're not a community, nor do we aim to become one. There are already enough of those out there, so we'll leave that to them.

We aim to gather a literary group of sorts. Bukowski lovers sitting down with Robert E. Howard clanspeople feels like a good start.

Clearly. Obviously. No Gen AI. Some of us use AI for grammar checks, and that's fine, but all art and stories are made by people we love and respect.

Join us, and let's get to work on your book. We already love it.

Our worlds weren't born in a boardroom; they bled out in a garage over crispy Calabrian pizza and Italian beers with a preposterous German name.
