Welcome!

My name is Owen K.C. Stephens, and I am a 29-year veteran of ttRPG writing. I've worked on-staff as a game designer or developer for Green Ronin Publishing, Paizo Publishing, and Wizards of the Coast. I co-wrote the first edition Starfinder Roleplaying Game, and the d20 Saga Edition Star Wars Roleplaying Game. I'm also the publisher, founder, and co-owner of Rogue Genius Games.

(Yep, that's me... running a Starfinder game in 2017. I was such a sweet, summer child...)

This Patreon is where I post my thoughts on the game industry, tabletop Roleplaying Games in general, and Pathfinder First Edition, Starfinder First Edition, and Fantasy AGE in specific. I do a lot of game content, especially for those specific 20 Games, and some short fiction, some game theory. I also tend to post #AppendixO ideas here: bite-sized gameable concepts free of specific rules ranging from 101 uses for a Mimic to ideas for superhero characters (and sometimes bigger such items, like a whole slew of Tavern concepts).

You can also find me on Bluesky.

More than half of my Patreon content is available to people at the free membership tier, and I plan for that always to be the case, so sign up for free! The biggest thing Paid Patrons get regularly is access to Indexes of articles, so they can quickly and easily find the content they are looking for. (And they can bookmark this page if they want to use the indexes like a Table of Contents for a virtual game book.)

The most popular Content Indexes are:

Pathfinder First Edition IndexAn in-progress Index of my Pathfinder First Edition articles: classes, feats, combat tricks, monsters, adventure seeds, taverns, Horrifically Overpowered content no one should use, and much more!

Starfinder First Edition IndexAn in-progress Index of my Pathfinder First Edition articles: equipment, special materials, spells, feats, optional rules, monsters, and alternate play modes!

Writing a ttRPG - Wyverns & WarrensThis series of articles is my "How To" for designing a ttRPG from scratch, with detailed, step-by-step stages from concept to (hopefully!) final design. Ever wonder what a ttRPG designer's process is? Well, here's mine!

There's also a compiled Fiction page!

"Stalked and Stalker"I won a Dean Spencer story contest for one of his pieces of art. This is where my Paying Patrons can read the compiled (and slightly more edited) version of the Pulp Horror short story I am writing for that art, “Stalked and Stalker.”

So say hi, sign up for free for a taste, and remember this is where to find the links to all the Paying Patron Indexes!

To make this page easier to find with search, it's the ONLY page on my Patreon with the word "Antiquing!"
