Finishing up my Tanks for the Apocalypse tank battle game set (Snarling Badger Games) with a post apocalypse T-34 Soviet tank... I know... not the best camouflage... Looks like it is from a Wes Anderson movie #tanks

TGIF, but you don't want to be this guy, out of time and being dragged away by the Reclamation Society. In the Zero Punk setting in the Book of Z every moment counts, spend 10 minutes to get a deluxe tofu burger and you might regret that choice later! #ttrpg #art

The Reclamation Society takes a Zero Punk off the streets. The clock on his arm reads 00:00. The Reclamation goons are heavily armored, carry firearms, and rove about in tank like vehicle.

What do folks think of Doc Saw? I'd hesitate before I'd go to them for help. Check out the Book of Z's Zany West setting. Prelaunch page now on KS. #ttrpg #art

Tonight I'll be running the BURN 2d6 Myth & Magic setting. A classic tale of dragons burning the kingdom with malice. In come the dragonslayers....

Zombie Roads is a setting for the upcoming Book of Z ttrpg book, a revision and advanced version of BURN 2d6. In this zombie apocalypse, stick to the roads or face being mobbed. The Toll Sisters sit along I-95 with their crew blocking your way. Turn around? Or, go through? Can you pay?
An alternative cover for the book of Z featuring three panels with a glimpse of the Zombie Roads, Zany West, and Zero Punk settings.

Had the chance to speak with @briancolin.com at PaxEast and picked up Vast Grimm. Also, pretty curious about Sqwurmish, the skirmish minis game.
Vast Grimm core rules open to a title page with Brian Colin's signature.

This weekend I'll be playtesting the travel mechanics of The Zombie Road at PaxEast. With 28 years later coming out soon, appropriate timing. #ttrpg

Had a ton of fun at Rising Phoenix from playing in BURN 2d6 Hardy Boys (yes, my game but somebody else running it) and WHPA 13, to Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland with Ed Murphy, great time!

A local youth and adult gaming club produced their own club hat. They play a lot of BURN 2d6 in their own homebrew world called ALT 255... Love the logo.
