Services

Creative structure for complicated worlds.

Engagements can be focused and surgical or embedded and long-running. The common thread is turning complex narrative material into something coherent, usable, and easier to build on.

Narrative & World Architecture

Foundations, mature-world documentation, factions, institutions, history, culture, character systems, world bibles, and source-of-truth design.

Typical outputs

  • narrative architecture memo
  • world or lore bible structure
  • setting taxonomy
  • historical framework
  • source-of-truth model

Continuity & Canon Reconciliation

Contradictory development, renamed concepts, historical drafts, and campaign or franchise history that no longer agrees with itself.

Typical outputs

  • canon risk audit
  • continuity matrix
  • historical-version map
  • authority and provenance model
  • contradiction register

RPG & Adventure Development

Campaigns and adventures that need stronger structure, clearer reveals, better GM usability, and focused live-play iteration.

Typical outputs

  • adventure architecture
  • GM-facing run structure
  • player-facing reveal plan
  • puzzle and clue flow
  • playtest findings

Narrative Product Development

Turning campaign material into sourcebooks, digital products, readable structures, and usable supporting tools.

Typical outputs

  • product structure
  • Book / Run / Production information model
  • content-component map
  • product backlog
  • editorial and production-state framework

Creative Information Architecture

Large creative archives, multiple versions, provenance problems, and teams that cannot reliably find authoritative material.

Typical outputs

  • content inventory
  • taxonomy and metadata model
  • provenance and authority scheme
  • version-family model
  • retrieval architecture

Developmental Review & Consultation

Targeted expert review for worlds, adventures, RPGs, narrative systems, and product direction.

Typical outputs

  • review memo
  • annotated findings
  • prioritized recommendations
  • workshop or readout
  • follow-up implementation brief

Engagement shapes

Built around the problem, not a canned package.

  • focused consultation
  • developmental review
  • narrative architecture sprint
  • world or continuity audit
  • RPG or adventure development engagement
  • product-development engagement
  • embedded creative collaboration
  • workshop and team readout

Commercial terms, rates, rights, confidentiality, tool restrictions, schedule, and acceptance criteria are agreed per engagement.
