I’m just starting my foray into publishing my own games and look forward to the journey! Most of my freelance published work can be found at Gamenomicon for the Party First! system.

Updates & Ramblings
I am a freelance technical writer, editor, and game designer. After 30 years of playing dozens of role-playing games I decided to finally produce the thing that makes me happiest!
ABOUT ME
Entrepreneur to Writer to Publisher
My name is Jerod Leupold and I have been an avid tabletop gamer and advocate for over 30 years. I cut my teeth on the business side by founding and running Critical Hit Games in Iowa City for eight years before selling to excellent stewards. Now I use my English degree from the University of Iowa to write, edit, and create role-playing games, articles, and novels!
Goblyn Market is my first long form published ttrpg available on itch.io and rpgdrivethru. You can fine several of my other short form projects there as well! I have been published under the Gamenomicon franchise for Party First ttrpg sourcebooks and adventures. Besides raising the greatest daughter in the world and playing frisbee golf, for fun I play and write about Ashes Reborn, an expandable card game by Plaid Hat.
