"Runner of the Wastelands" reached its first goal of 20 dollars!!

Between this week and the next one I will be deciding what one more thing I will make for the game. I will probably create some solo tools and/or spark tables, as I want to use them myself :)

New post! I'm turning “No Peace for the Heathen” into a setting zine for OSR games. Also, I might make a companion wargame/skirmish zine in the same setting. 😌

"Runner of the Wastelands": soloTTRPG actual play, episode 3.
This time with music!
Also, we gave a goal to our runner and more narrative weight to their journey.

Practicing with ink pens. Maybe I'll end up drawing something for my new one-page RPG “Runner of the Wasteland”.

Hey! I'm making a game for the #1pRPGjam.
It's about a courier who transports packages between the last remaining cities in a wasteland.
It's part exploration game, part skirmish game, and part journaling game. #WIP
