Tuesday Tabletop Tips:

Remember that wilderness isn't empty. Create interesting landmarks and locations that the characters see or experience along their journey to their next adventure location.

What's an easy go-to for you when describing the wilderness?

Tuesday Tabletop Tips:

Let players fail forward. A failed roll should advance the story, not stop it.

We have something coming down the pipeline that focuses heavily on this concept! Stay Tuned!

How have your players failed forward?

But we’re always looking for more artists to add to our contact list for future gigs.

Fuck AI Art!

We're on the hunt for a REAL comic cover artist who can nail a Mad Max meets TMNT vibe

Think rust, rage, mutants, and mayhem on the open road.

If that's you (or know someone), drop portfolio or tag them!
