about

blacktide is where hyperfixations become creative projects. Some end up as pen-and-paper RPGs. Others unfold as short stories, lore fragments, or narratives from elsewhere.

This is a solo-led project focused on storytelling, game design, and experimental worldbuilding. There’s no fixed genre or medium. Just prototypes, stories, systems, and unfinished thoughts.
