MAFIA II

I participated on this game released by 2KCzech. It sets you in the American 1940's and 1950's in the role of a gangster who becomes Mafia mademan.

My job here resolved particularly around the story. For screenshots, videos
and more information about the game, see the official web page.

DREAM SHARDS

(Střepy snů)

In 2009 I published an independent
pen and paper RPG called “Strepy snu”.
In the game you become a character from a fictional movie with no screen-play written beforehand and you and your friends tell your own story just by playing. It's meant for mature audience since it is based
on moral decisions and difficult choices.

Its design and writing were really challenging and I learned a lot by forging every single piece of it together. I was focused here on application of film techniques into game mechanics.

THE BESTIARY

(Bestiář)

In July 2006, I've published “The Bestiary” supplement for Draci doupe Plus, a popular Czech pen and paper RPG. The Bestiary describes fantastical creatures and monsters, but is written in such a way as to inspire players to tell interesting stories.

It was my first whole book written. It took about a year and was definitely a good training for further projects.

CREATIVITY,

all naked

I spent about a year reading sources about creativity, investigating creative processes and observing how people work.
From these I put together a talk to share this knowledge with people who are interested in revealing their potential.
It is a trilogy of presentations, all presented in fall 2011:

Creativity, all naked
- motivational, personal creativity

Creativity, to the bones
- practical, creativity in team

Creativity, down to marrow
- theoretical, philosophy of creativity

DRAČÍ DOUPĚ PLUS

“Draci doupe Plus” is a role-playing game, the core rules of which were published in 2004. It is an adventure game of heroic fantasy, best compared to the famous Dungeons and Dragons franchise.

As a member of the development team,
I have worked on several handbooks
and supplements. My focus was on storytelling techniques and metagame dynamics between players.

FOR LIFE

(O Život)

I designed this story about 6 years ago
for a tournament in fantasy role-playing game on Gamecon in Czech Republic. About 200 players played it in one weekend.

It is slightly poetical and mythical story about characters who fight for lives
of others and even for their lives on the end. When their bodies die they get
an opportunity to find out what "life" actually means.

GAMECON

Last seven years I participated in organization of a convention for board,
role-play and larp game players.
Once a year in summer about 350 atendees arrive for four days of playing games, meeting friends and basically have fun.

The convention is organized by non-profit organization I was in for several years
and I lead it for one year. Being part of this was a LOT of fun and also valuable experience in management when there is no money to pay people for their valuable work.

I started with a new blog project by the end of 2011. It is about creativity, design, self development and philosophy. I try to share knowledge I gleaned together and was somehow usefull for me. I decided to show posibilities rather than criticizing stuff. But because I am not english native speaker the blog is only in Czech.
