So I'm Scott Docherty, and have created The Chaos ttrpg for you. I can't thank you enough for showing an interest in the game. With your support in helping spread the word, hopefully in time it'll seep through into the brain juice of many more hardy victims souls, and start swishin'!
That support is kind of vital to what I do. I've been running Venger's Decks for a while, and it's the organic success of that and the map commission work I do that's really helped me create this little game & be able to chuck it out there for FREE into the wild.
a little about me
I began roleplaying as player and dungeon or game master in the 1980s, carving out an endless myriad of intricately woven tales in a dark, musty corner of the school playground, or inside rain-battered camping tents, or huddling in friends’ dusty attics, before moving up to fancier dinner tables and screens. Here were my first steps into the multiverse:
• Choose Your Own Adventure books
• Fighting Fantasy books
• Blood Sword books
• D&D B/X & BECMI Sets (Moldvay’s then Mentzer’s)
• Advanced D&D (mainly the 2nd edition)
and I also whiled away countless hours with the likes of Star Trek: The Role Playing Game, Warhammer FRP, Call of Cthulhu, Middle-earth Role Playing, HeroQuest, Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, amongst many, many others. Beyond that, in my local roleplaying club I helped playtest the first outstanding dystopian edition of SLA Industries released by Nightfall Games, and am always looking to bore the pants off anyone idiotic enough to listen to me about just how ground-breaking that game was. (...*coughs* check out the 2nd edition! *coughs again*...)
Aside from The Chaos, I now play, in the main, D&D and Star Wars FFG, running long-term games every week in Glasgow, Scotland, but also pop in and out of so many different games beyond those, from one-shots to mini-campaigns, inspired by the sheer myriad of choice there now is in this amazing tabletop roleplaying game space. And yeah, also I try to run Venger’s Decks whenever I get the chance, chucking out into the wild battlemaps and card decks to help you with encounters, loot, NPCs, critical hits & misses, and much more including Venger's Guide To Mastering Chaos At The Table, my book on how to get comfortable with not knowing what's about to happen in your sessions.
how can you help?
But I also have a couple of Patreons, one fantasy, one futuristic, where I lay out premium battlemaps as regularly as I can. So to grab a hold of them while supporting my development of the adventure zines for The Chaos ttrpg, and also of all the free battlemaps & the card decks you can use to enhance your enjoyment of it, you can do that here:

Thanks so much again for your interest, support, and inspiration, and I hope you're having a blast with the game! :)
Best,
Scott
