Here's our book cover, art by Adrian Regalado.

It's a wraparound image to the back for small scale print copies, but will initially release at PDF when complete.
Official book cover for The Ballad of Heroes, a solo-funded TTRPG is progress by Armen-Legg Games, Ltd. It shows 5 characters of different clothing and cultural styles riding through a dark winter forest toward a distant town, with the title 'The Ballad of Heroes: Tabletop Roleplaying'in gold and red on the top. In smaller white side text is the phrase 'common folk with uncommon daring found in rare times'. The entire cover is styled to look like a classic fantasy adventure novel of the 1980s or early 1990s. Art by Adrian Regalado, who is amazing.

Hail Heroes!

Much thanks to @joestrela.bsky.social for his glorious work on Isabet Fleethaven of the Quick-Wit Shadowsails! Careful if she tells you a story, as she's probably picking your pocket with a smile! And if you catch her out, well, those blades aren't just for show!

An image of a young adult woman with blonde hair laughing and motioning to herself. She is wearing a duelist's half-cape with a sword sheathed on one hip and a dagger on the other. She is dressed in a light cotton blouse with leathered bodice and a metallic spaulder on her right shoulder. She is also wearing leather breeches and knee-high leather boots. She looks like a garrulous swordswoman.

Hail Heroes!

Ready your coinsacks and wallets! Niklaus Harbargin, Merchant-Caravanner of Wakare has arrived! Much thanks to @joestrela.bsky.social for another great character! Check his #art out at www.artstation.com/joestrela !

"Harbargin and Associates never make a deal they can't win! 🧵👇 #ttrpg
A short, stocky man in merchant finery showcasing Vardare's famed Black Dragon Ale from the Wakare Brewery. It has been specially bottled in an alchemical decanter as personal branding. The man has an average build, but notably larger-than-expected hands and feet; instead of a beard, he has braided dreads looped forward and tied into an ascot. He wears an early medieval cap and looks quite happy with his offered wares and style. Behind him, lounging, is his faithful pack donkey. It is named Associates and is a very good boy.

Hail Heroes!

Speak softly and listen well, as the sermon of Thaddeus Ombrefeu, Priest-Emissary of Holy Paran approaches! Easygoing and humble, he holds terrible power inside his very soul.

Thanks to @joestrela.bsky.social for bringing this old priest to life!

Meet Asavellana-Mithika, or "Silent Hazel Tree in the Garden." She is a young apothecary apprentice with strong Tokar blood in her veins and hails from the Ylvari Garden of Asa, deep in the Emerald Sea to the east of Vardare.

She is newly-wed and getting settled in her new home.
