A Little History...
I was, like many during that dark 4th age of role-playing, in search for something different. I had grown up under my Father's wing playing the 1st and 2nd editions of Dungeons & Dragons, but didn't just want to go back to that. I never got into 3rd edition or Mathfinder and the less said about the 4th rendition the better.
That's when I stumbled upon the OSR! Here are like minded individuals that wanna play RPGs the old school way. A crazy concept to be sure! I devoured the blogs and posting within G+ communities and it was then by chance, or fate, Goodman Games Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG came to mine eyes. I've been enthralled ever since! I had to play it, had to roll up characters and monsters, but most importantly I had to do it now!

That was about two years ago. Since then I've judged many a game and drawn many a dungeon and thought it was time I'd share these adventures with others. OKP is the means by which I will do it!
Why an Owl Knight?
As they say in Twin Peaks, "The owls are not what they seem..." Owls are my spirit animal (if you believe in such things.) I've had a couple of strange encounters with owls just swooping down and landing by a branch or fence near me, staring into my soul and then taking flight again. Dreams of owls flutter through the brain and the trees around my house. You can find Owl totems scattered throughout my room and in my pockets. I guess I've just always been fascinated with them and maybe they with me.
Owl was also my favorite character from Winnie the Pooh.

And since I'll be writing mainly fantasy adventures this owl of mine (who still needs a name) most certainly needs to be a knight, right?
What's your writing background?
I have a background in film, writing, editing, directing, acting, all on a low-level. I've written several screenplays and have even gotten one produced. A real no budget b-movie called Portrait for Hell. (You can search for it or it's other edit entitled Oil & Blood.)
Currently I've been working on a cartoon show with my writing partner that is slowly moving forward into the next stages of development.

Having always been into RPGs and board games I feel I've been destined to write gaming material. For the past couple of years my Father and I have been working on a war game called Assault on Fortress Moon and while we wait to play-test some new ideas on that I figured I'd not sit idle and wait.
Publishing is new to me, but I'm a crazy perfectionist and so I'm going to try my damnedest to make this material look as good as it can.
What's first on the list?
For the past several weeks I've been working on a zero-level funnel tentatively titled Red Flame Resurrection, based off the very first adventure I ever ran for DCCRPG.
I have another 3rd Level adventure and another adventure (for what level I don't know) and finally a quarterly zine I'd like to develop.
So there's lots of ideas and I hope that I can get them off the ground sooner rather than later.
Now that you know HOO! Owl Knight Publishing is I hope you keep in touch and I look forward to sharing more ideas and adventures with you in the near future.
