Tales by Bob
Bob is an author, podcaster, and game designer from Southern Alabama. Most of his game design comes in the form of One Sheet RPGs, which range from the serious to the silly. For those interested in his podcasts, books, or line of nerdy shirts, check out his website. He is a firm believer that puns are the highest form of humor.
He tends to design games with simplistic rules that allow maximum creativity to fill the spaces in between. If you are a person who needs lots of definition and rules, then most of his games might not be for you. And that is ok!
