Freaky Friday!

Hello friends,

5 days left in the Kickstarter! If you haven’t yet, this is the time to share it with friends: 

Today, please meet our cartographer and cover artist:

Gabriel Brouillard is half illustrator, half game designer, half author and half accountant. Yeah, that many halves! He’s also a self-proclaimed encyclopedia of (more or less) useless knowledge, with 2 awards to back it up. When he’s not switching hats between the aforementioned roles, he professes that arrogance is a great virtue and that he’s the world’s most awesome humble man. Aside from saving the world for the fourth time without notice, he dabbles in hunting, martial arts and bronze-casting with his backyard foundry.

Ken Duquet is a Basic Tier Peasant, making the most of his ‘More Work?’ and ‘Supernatural Paranoia’ Talents. When he’s not working, you can find him farting with open derision in his squat hut, moss-coated and rocky, brooding eternally over his portfolio in the lee of great granite ledges.

Have a great All Hallows' Eve!

Coming soon to Twitch - Designhänder 2, the UX design for FLAMES OF FREEDOM character sheets
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 09:20:46 AM

Hello friends,

One thing we've promised to do for all our future tabletop RPGs is to hyperfocus on usability of the book at the table. UX is oftentimes overlooked, particularly when it comes to the cornerstone of gameplay - the character sheet.

Earlier this year, UX expert Amber Seger ran Designhänder, a Twitch show where she refactored the character sheets to follow character creation flow. Due to its success, her Zweihänder RPG character sheets have been incorporated into our next print run. This is also the reason why we hired her to do the layout design for FLAMES OF FREEDOM.

This is why I am excited to announce that Amber will continue her work by developing the FLAMES OF FREEDOM character sheets live on Twitch! This will be an interactive experience over several weeks, where she'll share out tips, tricks and insights as she designs the sheet.

Rejoice, New Shipping Rates for US and International!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Oct 29, 2020 at 09:13:53 AM

Hello friends,

We have been working diligently on a new international shipping matrix to address as many of your questions and concerns as possible. (Please do note that of course, rates remain subject to change.)

This matrix is even more detailed than our previous version. You will find that it breaks out taxes, reflects shipping for different pledge levels as well as Add-Ons, and includes two additional regions, South Korea and Iceland. 

To further clarify, these are complete rates from our fulfillment partner. They ensure your packages will be carefully packed with your items shrink-wrapped (including corner protection where applicable), shipped with transparent tracking details, and that they will arrive hassle-free with taxes and duties paid:

Do you have additional questions? Let us know in the comments! We are happy to help.

Cheers,
