About Me

Carson smiles and slightly squints at the camera, wearing a yellow touque, blue windbreaker, and glasses. A wide view of autumn leaves fills the landscape behind; vivid orange, yellow, red, and green leaves stretch out to a view of Lac Blue Sea in Gatineau, Quebec.

Hi. I'm Carson Brown, the person behind Single Stage to Orbit Press. I create tabletop RPG supplements and tools that often start with something I'm running at one of my own tables.

I'm a big sci-fi fan, and something that's common to stories told in space is the way they get there. From Alien to Star Wars, Dune to Flash Gordon, the method to travel off-world involves a craft simply taking off and leaving. Space travel of today always involves multi-stage vertical rockets; SSTO travel remains in the realm of fiction.

I make TTRPG things out of my potentially haunted house in Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦
