Brendan is a designer from Key West, Florida, now living in Texas.

Brendan's games are interested in how mechanics reinforce narrative experiences and how creative twists can revitalize classic tropes. Tinged with a haze of surrealism, his stories aspire to dark sincerity without relying on ugly grit.

A perennial, ambitious GM, he also designs video games professionally and volunteers at a center for wildlife rehabilitation. He's also the host, GM, and producer of OATHSWORN, a Band of Blades actual play podcast.

Thirty players. Three Referees. A year-long voyage across the whale roads, seeking glory, power, and a place to call home.  WHALE ROADS chronicles the journey of the wandering flotilla, following their victories, challenges, and defeats across the Northern Isles.
