Welcome to Tangent Zero, my game design corner where I create games, solo tools, and various random generators and gizmos that I call web toys.


2022-12-08: Major revamp of the site, after ten years, we can safely say that the time stamp blog thing did not work. I never really got into a regular schedule with updating the main page.  So, let's break the site down into several sections; hosting the Renegade Legion page, providing a page for my free stuff, and maintaining my web toys.  
 


Work in progress edits...


SGAM Story Seeds are game setting and adventure prompts.

MapGen 3D is star map generator for assorted role playing games or strategic war games. Flick Tanks is a quirky shooter puzzle thing.

If you want to download the files and play with them, I created a couple of archives. [Flick Tanks] and [MapGen 3d]

McRandom NPC a trait based (system agnostic) NPC generator.
The Zach Bestiary is a compilation of 36 NPCs for your games.

And even earlier, I worked on an idea for GameChef 2017, Another Border Crossing
 

2016-11-29: Created a free 3d model just for kicks. In Traveller, the classic game map for a world is an icosahedron (d20) but sometimes you want to see that map as a planet. For you game designer types, here is a copyright free 3d model of a sphere but UV mapped to Traveller style world maps. [trav_world.zip]




2015-4-22: Yeah, I'm terrible with the updates, but there are good things in the works. Zero Dice has been updated to include Fate and regular dice. I created a one page version of The Trouble with Rose, and I made a 15mm Type S Scout ship for paper crafting. HERE


 HymenopTerra.pdf and my play test of it.

2013-08-07: I created an editor entry for RPGenesis 2013. I was fortunate enough to get permission from John Harper to re-edit Ghost/Echo. You can check out my entry here: GHOST-REVERB.pdf

2013-05-26: Woot! I finished my entry for Game Chef 2013 in time. You can check out my entries here:
Road to Ruin (in docx format - 12,310 kb) Road to Ruin (in Word97 format - 13,971 kb)


2012-10-12: Uploaded an older project I did for making 3D terrain suitablefor a Space Hulk game if you're into papercraft. [spacehulk_3d.zip]
