Hey! I'm BoRyan—a reformed line cook and professional designer living in the PNW. I write words, draw pictures, and design layout for adventure games.
Gravy Press is just a fun name that I came up with. It stands for something cool, like: "Grand Respledent Arcana: Visions of the Yonderlands."
Well, actually it's my cat's name.
I write adventure modules for Old School tabletop games, like Cairn and Vaults of Vaarn. I endeavor to create engaging sandboxes that prioritize player agency, providing emergent gameplay in a dangerous environment.
My work tends towards a blend of whimsical and gruesome. Enjoy!

I'm always looking out for opportunities to cooperate and collaborate with other creators in the space. If you've got a need—developmental editing, writing, illustration, or layout—drop me a line.
It's Event Horizon on a boat, winner of the Liminal Horror Twisted Classics Game Jam.
