Nth Dimension Games
Hi, I'm Emperor Dryden, sole owner and developer of NthDimensionGames.
With over 30 years in TTRPGs, starting at age 12 with D&D 2nd Edition, I've long been passionate about tabletop storytelling, even after years in MMORPGs. Six years ago I transitioned into game design and founded NthDimensionGames as my LLC to create ambitious, thoughtful RPGs.
My flagship project is Borderline Chaos, a deep reimagining of core TTRPG systems. I've written over 250 pages focused on combat, skills, character development, and roleplaying mechanics, plus the underlying metaphysical philosophy that supports them. World-building comes later, right now the project is nearing alpha testing for the core rules.
The game's philosophy centers on creating emotionally resonant, memorable stories rather than chasing loot. Systems are designed to evoke real emotion, make combat feel consequential and dreaded, and remain flexible for almost any setting, with a thematic lean toward the mythic Pre-Fantasy Era.
Currently working solo, I'm reaching out to the TTRPG design community for motivating discussions on systems, theory, and design philosophy. If you're interested in innovative mechanics or storytelling-first design, I'd love to connect and exchange ideas.
Thanks for reading. Looking forward to building something memorable together.
