Flying Ship.

Excerpt from Fantastic Figureheads...And Where To Find Them on kickstarter. Reads "...and where to find them.Stronghold of the Lofty Scholar
A cove discovered a few years ago by Captain Arlo Von Brussel, a retired British naval officer who sought westward fortunes. Within the nearby ruins, he found fortune enough to recruit men to his self-serving cause and the means for his ship (The Lofty Scholar) to take to the skies.
The crew of the Lofty Scholar prowl the Dark Caribbean stealing from both pirate and merchant alike. Those seeking revenge, his treasure, or something else from the Captain will likely find him in his newly built stronghold or ship."

Last year I was on 24 separate ttrpg publications in some capacity. Some were self published, many were not.

There was a lot of writing, some proofreading, and some editing. I’m really proud of this, 2025 was awesome.

I’m still learning to be a better writer and this year bumped it up by tackling a Kickstarter. I might even do two more. I’ve also gotten into more self publishing on DriveThruRPG.

While I am not the most talented by a long shot, I am really proud of the work I am putting in to become better. And that wouldn’t be possible without the support of my friends and family.

Thank you so much.
