Wretches & Rewards - Kickstarter Spotlight Bonus Post

One aspect of RPGs I particulary enjoy is what I like to call the '“trinkets”… Swords of Infinite Sharpness… Rings of Psionic Power… a staff that turns everything it touches into rice pudding… I love it all. As the late poet Notorious B.I.G. once said, “Gimme the loot”

Well, all you Loot Lovers out there are in for a real treat. Wretches & Rewards by Anthony Woods and Co. is the big box of trinkets you’ve been waiting for.

Alice is Missing - Kickstarter Spotlight

The number one question I ask myself when considering a Kickstarter campaign for a spotlight article is What’s unique about this? I’ve browsed over plenty of games and source books that look quite fun and well-made, but didn’t seem to offer anything we all haven’t seen before. The absolute opposite end of that spectrum is Alice is Missing by Hunters Books. This campaign punches you right in the face with a fistful of inventive and original ideas.

There are many possible reasons as to why a particular RPG funding campaign catches your eye. Some of those reasons are quite tangible such as a new DM resource that helps you run your games or a new original character class that you absolutely HAVE to play. And then there are those times when it’s not glaringly blatant as to why you’re drawn to a new piece of RPG content. All you know is that you want it. You must have it. You can’t wait to play it.

Video Book Review by 'The Art and Making of' YouTube Channel!

It fills me with great pride to share this newly released The Last Amazon Book Review by the YouTube channel 'The Art and Making of'! As an artist, it is one's hope to have their art seen and appreciated on its own merits. We took a lot of risks with The Last Amazon and tried something wildly different and innovative in the field of graphic novel storytelling. 'The Art and Making of' truly grokked what we were trying to do, and seemed to appreciate it greatly. This is a wonderful feeling and would have been impossible without all of you!
