New Together in Battle review:
"Wish more TTRPG's had telepath system's range of tactical options when it comes to positioning, shifting positions and terrain!...Easy recommend if you're at all into tactics, be glad to see this game get more attention."

Man. I've received *so many* key request scam emails over the past 9 days (26 of them over the past 48 hours alone), but this one is my favorite: the guy pretending to be Hasan Piker--of all people--while quietly hoping that I don't notice the extra "i" in his email address. Lol. Nice try, bro.

Accidentally sent half my team off on a caravan mission right before a scheduled match. Outnumbered 6-4, I still managed to pull off a win by taking advantage of the terrain and playing to my characters' strengths! 🙂

Fun thing about Together in Battle: you can make custom characters! Design them with a name, portrait, personality, growths, even dialogue: the game will bring them into the world to fight, level up, and develop relationships with your other units! 😃

It's been more than a decade since I last created a world map for inclusion in one of my games, but I felt inspired to create one for Together in Battle. Here's the isle of Dese, where Together in Battle takes place!

Occasionally, I run across fan art of Telepath characters--as a developer, these are some of my very favorite things! 😀 In that vein, here are some awesome drawings of Arman from 2012's Telepath RPG: Servants of God I was just sent today. [Artist: Tisbore]

All done! I'm quite happy with how this one turned out; you have to race the shop owner to a room in the back of the map and keep him from destroying key evidence while groups of guards stand in your way. (You can't just kill him, either--you need to capture him alive for questioning. 😉)
