Centrochelys

I'm Brendan McLeod, a writer and game designer from Florida.

I'm a tabletop designer who loves making, playing, and publishing roleplaying games. I've created a variety of games and adventures, all of which are available on my itch.io page.

I'm also a podcast creator. Right now I'm making:

• OATHSWORN, a weekly actual-play fantasy adventure.
• THE PRISONER'S DILEMMA, a biweekly show watching and analyzing the 1960s surreal spy show The Prisoner.
• PAPER LABYRINTHS, a monthly conversation with other game designers.

I've spent the past twenty years as a game designer in the video games industry, where I've worked on a wide variety of projects, big and small. If you're here looking for information about that part of my life, you might have better luck with my portfolio.
