It's called Graveheart, and is gonzo grimdark Sci-Fantasy setting, where you hunt rogue souls in a twisted far future version of Hades. Sort-of like if you smashed Dead Like Me or R.I.P.D. into Necromunda. A key design pillar during dev was "How can I use my 40k & DnD minis on the same table?"

[crashing cymbals] Working on final bits for GRAVEHEART, our gonzo grimdark Sci-Fantasy Daggerheart setting, hunting rogue souls in a twisted far future version of Hades, full of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. Here's a sneak peak at our work-in-progress world map. Still needs color-n-stuff.

Thanks! We're finishing up GRAVEHEART, our gonzo grimdark Sci-Fantasy setting, where you play as Reapers in service of Charon, hunting rogue souls in a twisted far future version of Hades, full of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. Mostly it's an excuse to use our 40K minis with Daggerheart.

In Graveheart, our Sci-Fantasy grimdark Daggerheart setting, you play characters that cannot die, because they're already dead! Each time your body is destroyed, you are reformed to continue your work. We've leaned into this, and changed Death Moves to make your choices more.. ..interesting.

Almost done working on GRAVEHEART, our gonzo grimdark Sci-Fantasy campaign setting, where you play as Reapers hunting Rogue Souls in the broken Underworld of the far future. We're adding some wild rules to handle the fact that you're playing folks who can't die, because they're already dead..

This weekend begins the Mapping of Hell for Graveheart, our upcoming Daggerheart SciFantasy Underworld setting. Will be taking inspiration from the Terræ Sanctæ map in the Klencke Atlas, furnished with an amazing set of ready-made brushes courtesy of @kmalexander.bsky.social's BLAEU series.

Working on items for GRAVEHEART, our gonzo-grimdark SciFantasy Daggerheart campaign, set in Hades circa 40k.. "Built by the infamous spacer Bouncy Bab out of spare parts, spite, and a genuine love for making a really big entrance. Bab never lost a fight while her and the Blaster were together."

Huzzah! Principle writing for Graveheart, our gonzo-grimdark post-apocalyptic campaign setting of spirits, super-science, and sorcery for Daggerheart is DONE! Also, I'm a little too pleased with myself for this Tier 4 Environment feature, Trial by Storm. Can't wait to try it out in playtests.

Babylon 5 is now a Youtube Stream. What even is this timeline? Fun fact, my first TTRPG job was 3D art for a Babylon 5 RPG. I spent way too much on a Dual Pentium 300 PC and Lightwave for the job, but the work later got me into videogames so ultimately paid itself off. My old AF art from 1997.

Oh hey, who left this workstation just laying here underneath 2 years of clutter I just cleaned up? Oh right, that was me. Time to get back to regular weekly therapy painting, for mandatory de-computerization time! Gonna start with custom figs for Halflight Halls, our campaign for Daggerheart.

Continuing work on our SciFi-Fantasy Campaign Frame, GRAVEHEART. Set in the dark far future of the galaxy's mythic Underworld. Hopefully just a few more weeks until it's ready to release, with luck. :-) Here's a sneak peek at some of the new gear we've cooked up.

Thanks gang! We're chugging along on the final touches for Graveheart, our upcoming Daggerheart Compatible SciFi Fantasy hope-punk mashup set in the mythic Underworld of humanity's dark far future. Should be out (with luck) in a few weeks.

You could reskin Pirates of Darkwater in space. The anime's Outlaw Star and Eden's Zero would also fit. An older one, Ulysses 31, puts greek mythology in space and was really a work of art for its time. We're also putting out a setting along those lines in a few weeks, minus the space travel.

Tweaked the cover to a Comic Book style, and punched the colors. Definitely fits the setting better. GRAVEHEART is an upcoming Daggerheart compatible post-apocalyptic setting of savagery, sorcery, & super-science set in the gamma-warped Underworld afterlife of humanity's distant far future.

How in the world did I miss the whole Godzilla Kei-Sei Era launch? This looks amazing, instantly ordered the series book. Now to resist ordering more.. Worse yet, now I'm craving either playing in or running a Pistolheart Drylands campaign in Daggerheart. I don't have time for this.. #nerdprobs

I'm having SO much fun working on this campaign frame! Been ages since I worked on Sci-Fi. The last one I worked on was the Babylon 5 RPG, way back in the late 90's. Here's another peak at GRAVEHEART, a Daggerheart compatible campaign, in the dark far future of the Underworld, land of Death!

Bumped into Dev Madan at Geek Fest West. He's a fellow veteran videogame industry artist in the Seattle area that I knew through shared friends. Him and some other local folks put on an annual art show called Muppet Rawks, that mash muppets with famous album covers. Stoked to finally have one!

Today we're out at Geek Fest West, a new local Seattle area convention serving up all things Geekly. About to join in a live Call and Response style audience participation DND adventure, called The Great Barnyard Blunder. Something tells me this'll be right up my alley..

Goat outa here! That's a wrap for The Last Round Table kickstarter, our off-beat little 50+ page Daggerheart adventure about rescuing deadbeat adventurers and a pet goat from the depths of a haunted brewery. Much more to come from our weird little fantasy land of Halflight Halls, stay tuned!

Hey all! It's time for sneak peek! Graveheart is a game of Savagery, Super Science, and Sorcery compatible with #Daggerheart. Set in the dark far future of Hade's Underworld, you play members of Charon's Reapers, hunting technomagic Rogue Spirits who wish to break the cycle of life and death.

WHEW! Went to the mail to pickup my Stonetop print copies, and the box was caved in.. Thankfully the Warehouse Warriors at @plusoneexp.bsky.social had packed well for battle, with hardened corner guards and double-wrapped padding. Viola, mint in wrap. Thanks PlusOne!

This had to have been the most insane thing I've seen in a while. Nobody I talked to at Vidcon had a clue who it was, or what it was for. What a schizophrenic convention..

Loading up the Adversaries, Allies, and other bits from our latest #Daggerheart compatible adventure into the @heartofdaggers.bsky.social tools is like icing on the game-dev cake. We'll be releasing these bits FREE to the public, ready to use, alongside the adventure when it's available on HoD.

Huzzah, principle layout pass is finished for The Last Round Table, an upcoming Daggerheart adventure we've been working on for a few months. We'll be putting it up on Kickstarter in a couple of weeks. Not gonna be a big splashy hyped-up campaign, it's just a silly little adventure after all.

My partner in crime worked up this crochet pattern while listening to heartfelt saga of @dodoborne.com season 1 Daggerheart podcast. So happy to send this little soft-of-rope dodo their way, along with their beefier cousin, the dodo everyone wants for Christmas.. #SoftofRope #dodopotimus

Spent most of Saturday battling ants which had invaded the greenhouse over winter. Feeling a strong need to make the fantasy ttrpg equivalent of Starship Troopers now. I know they're not the enemy, they can be helpers, but crawlies get outa mah house please.

Been in a mood to catch up on some gonzo 80's/90's movies lately. Tonight's viewing: Split Second, with Rutger Hauer and Kim Cattrall. A movie that felt exactly like how me and my friends would run it, if it was a Cyberpunk or Call of Cthulhu adventure.

Just finished up running two teams through back-2-back playtesting on our upcoming Tier 2 Daggerheart adventure, The Last Round Table. Absolutely fantastic teams, had a blast, and got so much valuable sweet sweet gameplay notes out of it. Can't wait to share this with more folks!

Another weekend of back-to-back games. First was more playtesting for the "haunted" tavern Halflight Halls Daggerheart adventure I'm working on. Followed by the 1+ year saga of my MotW/Public Access group, as they prep to head into the TV Odyssey studios. I think this TTRPG stuff might catch on..
