In the new Last Caravan expansions we're diving more deeply into our weird world, fleshing out the aliens and their culture. Nothing is more emblematic of that than THE VERDANT, our new alien biologist playbook! Be an alien! Have a backpack with a lil guy in it!

I really, really want to get the Last Caravan #TTRPG running again. Playing in a game would be perfectly acceptable, too.

Huzzah! You all get to see the composition that took soo long to figure out. You can't really find a good model photo for "giant crab man getting danger kisses from a dog" on the old interwebs.

Whoo boy. A large red crab alien, with two huge outer arms, and four smaller torso arms, is carrying three dogs. Two puppies, one on its shell barking at pursuers, and another in one huge claw. The last dog is the mother? Cradled in the smaller arms, and licking the crab-alien on its mouthparts. The crab is wincing slightly with all six eyes. Three drones, alien in origin, are pursuing the group through a winter woods scene.

I have spent an extremely satisfying amount of time putting my ideas for my The Last Caravan (@tedbushman.bsky.social) play through. Using Obsidian to not only keep track of faction rapport and NPCs, but I'm also going to do a lot of Odyssey references. (Which fits into the written lore so well)

Our second stretch goal for THE LAST CARAVAN has been passed, unlocking two new dog archetypes: the button-pressing GIZMO and the little-but-fierce LAPDOG.

Next up: a secret solo journalling game called HOMEWORLD SONG hidden inside our hardcover expansion book!

I considered a master stroke to include a dog (like a literal, regular dog) as a playable character in a road-movie style game.
In this expansion your whole party can be composed of good boys (and a cat), so...
Yeah, count me in 100%!

Wasn't planning on this but it appears we've bashed through our funding goal and first stretch goal in less than 8 hours! We're so delighted to get this game out to all of you.
