Feng Shui. Tynes wrote the adventure "Three Days to Kill" (2000) for the Atlas d20 brand, Penumbra, and the adventure was the first printed d20 product ever offered for sale. Tynes designed the board game The Hills Rise Wild! On January 1, 2001, Tynes announced to his partners that he was leaving the role-playing game industry, expecting to be done with the field by 2002, and Adam Scott Glancy was named the new president of Pagan. Wizards of the Coast contacted him with an offer to write the background material for the d20 version of Call of Cthulhu, which he accepted, and he produced the material with the help of writers from Pagan. The book was completed in 2002. Following the end of Unknown Armies in 2003, Tynes withdrew from the tabletop gaming industry in order to pursue other interests, particularly film and video games. He was the producer of Pirates of the Burning Sea, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Flying Lab Software, and published in 2008 by Sony Online Entertainment. After its launch, he joined Microsoft Game Studios to work on various Xbox Live Arcade titles including South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play!, Toy Soldiers, and Full House Poker as a producer and game designer. Tynes has written about games for Salon, The Escapist, Pyramid, X360 UK, and The Stranger.
