Play as outlaws in the wild west that never was, replete with chain-smoking mules, eldritch revolvers and suspicious tonics.

Saddle up, rascal.

Very sad news. Bud reviewed a few GO books some years ago and those made me a better game designer and publisher. Condolences to the family and close friends.

As the two-headed basilisks foretold, I have finished painting the algae-rot (aka Gator Joe) from the cover art for Putrescence Regnant, the Mörk Borg album/adventure. This was from one of the Westfalia Miniatures crowdfunding campaigns. I had a lot of fun doing […]

Fun fact about the ennies: you film your acceptance video (if you arent there in person) ahead of time, before knowing if you win. So there is a chance I am cleaning slime out of my ears for a video no one will see.

Go vote for Prismatic Wasteland and Prismatic Wisdom!
