AGATHOK
GAME DESIGNER
The World of Agathok is a homebrew setting and major project that builds upon the rules of Dungeons & Dragons: 5th Edition. It is a high fantasy world with its own history, list of playable species, history, and more.


Narrative Design
Carefully crafted the plot and characters of every story (or "adventure") told in the world, and ensured it was flexible to the players' actions.
Designed every aspect of the world, including its history, locations, and species of people.
Wrote both deep lore unknown to most people but discoverable by players, and "surface-level" lore available to a number of characters.
Created multiple settlements complete with buildings of interest (like inns and temples) and shops with planned out inventories.
Aligned every story to the timeline in a way that allowed for the players' actions in one story to potentially affect the events occurring in another, separate story.

Systems Design
Created a large amount of playable options for players, ranging from new ancestries (or races) to subclasses.
Revised multiple pre-existing player options to bring them more in line with other options, balance-wise.
Modified or replaced pre-existing rules in the D&D: 5e system (i.e. Exhaustion), in addition to implementing new rules (i.e. Weapon Arts system).
Added 3 new Skills: Martial, Mercantile, and Linguistics, to better suit certain niches of the game.
Implemented a new "Tactics check" system to make encounters like Boss fights more thrilling and balanced to large player groups.
Designed several intricate boss fights that all proved a challenge for players.
Level Design
Designed many maps using the Inkarnate software and the assets it provides.
Created maps of varying sizes and themes, from small magic item shops to large scale dungeons and environments.
If an asset was needed but not available, I would create it in Photoshop and import it for use in the Inkarnate software.
Nearly all maps were created to fit a 5 ft. x 5 ft. grid, to ensure that it would be practical for use during any combat scenario.
