Hello Stranger,

I'm Epidiah Ravachol. You may have heard of my #ttrpg work, like Dread, the horror game that uses Jenga; or Swords Without Master, which can be found in Worlds Without Master, issue 3.

I've been at this indie truly-true role-playing game publishing gig for about a quarter century.

Bluesky has suspended my bro @Gorangligovic.bsky.social, who’s an amazing artist that would always share Palestinian and other mutual aids while speaking against Bluesky’s mods which would delete these accounts.

Fuck Bluesky.

Alright, okay, little preview announcement: I am setting up shop in the Danforth Arts Market this winter!

I can't believe how excited I am to have a local storefront location! Still lots more art and books to come, but if you've been looking to grab a playmap, Toronto friends, you are IN LUCK!
a photograph of a dark green wall in a shop, with a hanging hand painted sign in the top left showing three candles, and walnut half height bookshelf on which there are comics, and folded blankets, and on the wall itself is a basket of art prints, and an array of signage explaining that this belongs to the sorcerer's catalog, plus a lot of details that are a little too small to read in the photo.

“How did you get into ttrpgs”

After receiving a full pardon from the governor I found a great deal on a trailer in Malibu and just haven’t had a good reason to get a real job yet.

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

the three spirits:
Three men in a mobile home. One stands, wearing a red shirt. Two sit, facing each other across a chess board. The men are, left to right, Jim Rockford, Angel Martin, and Rocky (Jim's dad). Jim and Rocky are playing chess. Rocky's face betrays frustration. Angel looks skeptical. Jim has his back to the camera, so we cannot judge his expression.

Listen, I'm still relatively new to coding. I think I can still say that, at least until January. I've learn quite a bit these last 5 years, especially these last two.

Sometimes, though, the simplest thing will strike me as elegant and beautiful in a way I feel like I need to share. BUT...

The Iron Barge Black Friday deal begins now!

Starting today, you can read the complete first chapter from Book 1 at www.ironbargecomic.com absolutely free!

(We were never charging to read it, it's just that today's the day we put up the final page of Chapter One.)
