Gravlin has evolved into Gemlin!! A diet of rocks and pebbles has allowed it to cultivate precious gemstones and It often uses its favorite gem to keep the hair out of its eyes.

Halfway through the kickstarter! Consider backing today!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

It’s time.
Come join us for the beginning of the end.

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 1d

WE ARE LIVE WITH OUR PREMIERE!

The armies of the Dark Tree are on the move. Middle-earth will fall. And all that stands between the Reunited Kingdom and its ruin is a fellowship of six. But in the face of such shadow, is hope enough...?

WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

See you in chat!

Aerlind, a tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. He stands against a wide and warm coastline.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter One: What May Be Preserved.”

Meet Gravlin, a gemstone fae type Domeskai! This gentle creature burrows underground and uses stone and pebbles caught in its fur as a protective coat.

Tame him and more Domeskai in my new TTRPG now on kickstarter!

This is quite literally one of the coolest art pieces I've ever seen and have the honor of being a part of — I love this fellowship SO MUCH and it's gonna hurt when it all comes to an end.

But look how far we've come. It all comes down to this.

ALSO PEEP THE NEW CLOTHES FOR MY BOY! AAAAAH!

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 2d

Tomorrow, The Fourth Age comes to an end...

The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. And all that stand between this ancient evil and the ruination of Middle-earth are six heroes: a fellowship.

Our third and final season begins tomorrow, 12:30pm Pacific.

Six individuals stood together, looking down into a cloudy valley:

- Theodas. A muscular Elf with strong dark features, framed by a thick, greying beard, wearing a grey cloak over a dull golden chestpiece.
- Iairen. A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, wearing a dark blue robe. He holds a spherical seeing-stone in his hands.
- Mistiel. An Elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour.
- Eona. A woman with tanned features and long black hair, intertwined with golden scales, wearing heavy brown leather armour and a single steel pauldron with fur lining.
- Chicory Taproot. A Hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron.
- Aerlind. A tall and handsome Elf with deep black, straight hair and elven robes in shades of sea blues and greens. In his hand he carries a golden astrolabe.

Above them are the words "The Fourth Age: Book Three" and below them "An original The One Ring adventure. October 7th, 12:30pm Pacific."

When you go to print your #TTRPG remember that you need to charge at least about 6x the cost to print for sustainability.

Small to midsize publishers can take advantage of scale & you can't.

You are not Wizards, Evil Hat, Exalted Funeral, or Modiphius.

Ideally charge 10x an pay a bill.

A split evolution! Amperrier can evolve into the super fast Zippit or the sturdy Voltastiff. Which would you choose?
