Domnio Fantasy Roleplaying

Domnio is a quick-and-dirty fantasy roleplaying game. It’s a lot like that big brand-name game with the dragons and the dungeons but more freewheeling and free-form. The assumption is that you already understand the basics, and are just looking for a rough-and-tumble “lite” game that suits your needs, whatever they may be.

Aristotle’s Alignment

Aristotle’s Alignment isn’t your typical alignment system dissection, nor is it a regurgitation of tired debates about Good versus Evil or Law versus Chaos. Nope, this is a weird little book that takes the nine-point alignment grid of classic fantasy roleplaying and smashes it against Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. Why? Because I could. And because someone should.

Christmas Fantasy

Christmas Fantasy

Let’s face it, most attempts to bring Christmas into roleplaying either lean too hard into cheesy monster encounters or drown in pun-filled gags that aren’t nearly as charming as the creators think. If you've had enough of that and want something that truly captures the spirit of Christmas without getting bogged down in the usual tropes, then Christmas Fantasy might just be what you’ve been waiting for.

This book isn’t about Santa or reindeer, or any other religious iconography, for that matter (I’m sure we all can guess why). Instead, it's focused on the heart and soul of secular and cultural celebrations that surround the holiday. Forget the overdone clichés. What Christmas Fantasy brings to the table is a fresh take on the season that’s still unmistakably festive. It's about that special vibe: the glow of the season, the warmth of shared traditions, and the simple joy of coming together. And I’m doing it without hitting you over the head with garish decorations or tiresome jokes.

Redeeming Alignment
New Releases Lightspress New Releases Lightspress

Redeeming Alignment

This book tackles the beast head-on by taking alignment and tying it directly to mechanics, finally making it more than an abstract thought exercise. The goal isn’t to throw out the baby with the bathwater but to give the system a reason to exist beyond its historical baggage. Concepts like Good, Evil, order, and Chaos are hugely subjective, shaped by cultural biases and misinterpretations. Too often, alignment has been wielded not as a tool for roleplaying but as a blunt instrument to justify bad behavior or reinforce tired stereotypes. This book aims to redeem it, literally and figuratively.

Alignment & Intention

Alignment & Intention

This book isn’t just for roleplayers. It’s for anyone who’s ever wrestled with questions of intention, morality, or the blurry line between "good" and "evil." The structure is flexible, letting you pick and choose what’s useful without committing to the whole thing. Want to explore how magickal philosophy can inspire your storytelling? Skip to those chapters. Interested in how alignment can serve as a lens for self-reflection? There’s a section for that, too.

If you’re a roleplayer, use this book to craft characters with more depth and nuance. The alignment grid isn’t a cage, it’s a starting point for understanding your character’s motivations and moral conflicts. Magickal philosophy can add layers to those motivations, helping you create characters with believable, intention-driven actions.

For storytellers, this book is a tool for worldbuilding and narrative design. Magickal philosophy can inspire conflict, drive character arcs, and shape the metaphysics of your setting. Alignment, meanwhile, provides a framework for exploring moral dilemmas and character relationships.

If you’re here for philosophical exploration, treat this book as a jumping-off point. The connections between magick and alignment might spark insights into your own beliefs and behaviors. Use it to question how your intentions shape your actions, and how those actions shape the world around you.

In the end, this is a book about stories, the ones we tell ourselves, the ones we create with others, and the ones that shape the worlds we live in. Whether you’re casting spells, rolling dice, or just trying to make sense of it all, the intersection of magick and alignment is fertile ground for exploration.
