Cover Art, Upcoming Events, and More
Hey buds!
We’ve got a busy calendar over the next two months! The February 20th Kickstarter launch is rapidly approaching! We’ve got several events taking place, including demos, podcasts, and more leading up to and during the campaign.
But first! We have our cover art!!! We’re so incredibly ecstatic about how this turned out and so grateful we’ve got Max Bare doing all of the illustrations for this game.

This insane action packed scene will wrap around the front and back of the book.Max even snuck all of the Buds (our affectionate name for our team) into the cover as a little easter egg!

Tabletop Journeys
We met the guys from Tabletop Journeys at AcadeCon last year. They playtested a fun combat scenario, which we’ve now developed into a starter adventure to be included in the book. We’re calling it “Bad Hair Day: Styles and Tribulations.”
Lewanika, Josh, and Glen make a rambunctious group with tons of experience playing various tabletop rpg’s. You can expect plenty of banter from them. They’ll be building their own heroes, playing an adventure we’re calling Frigid Lair of Doom, joined by Smiley from our team and GM’ed by Spencer. They’ll also be interviewing Spencer about the game.
This will be a four part series, with episodes released weekly, starting Friday, 2/16/2024.

Who Needs Heroes
This group of guys has been with us since we first started putting our game out there into the universe!
Who Needs Heroes is releasing a four-part series of their We Can Be Heroes mini adventure next week on 1/31/2024 We’ll link to it These guys are a lot of fun and have a play style very similar to how we play. You can expect lots of goofing around in their roleplaying and combat play. They’re very fun to listen to.
Please note, this series was played on an older version of the game. Several versions ago. Expect there to be plenty of technical changes since this was recorded, especially balancing of powers. The game itself is still the same at its core, though, and these guys are worth the listen.
Game Demos
We have demos scheduled at a few game stores and game cafes/bars around the greater Cleveland area (listed below). Come out if you’re in the area and want to try our award winning game!
