Hungry Hungry Horrors

Robin Bennett is a 52-year-old mall Santa who stumbles into the clans' hidden war. He survives on nerve, stage combat and a very persuasive Naughty & Nice talk, and the city starts keeping score.

Human Flavor is an urban fantasy horror LitRPG series planned across five books. Every character has attributes, skills and dice, and when things go wrong, the dice decide how badly. In Book Two, Snacks Against Humanity, Robin shares the story with Tara Danion.

Roll up a stranger

In Bigbad City every soul is measured in nine attributes, each one a die. A nobody might hold a d4. A legend can grow a die all the way to a d30.

Roll a newcomer and see what the city makes of them. When you want one of your own, forge a real character in Hex Forge and carry them into every game.
