​Distilled & Focused is my latest initiative, an anthology RPG zine for new and underrepresented creators in the RPG space.

Volume I.I is about ready to physically release!

You can pre-order a physical copy here. These will ship in April.

PDF copies are already available at my site or at itch.io.

I am super excited about this first volume. The entries range from 1-4+ players, are RPGs and LARPs, are meditative and insightful, and bring stories I could never bring. These are so neat.

This volume contains 8 works. You can read my explanation of them here.​

• Starseeker. An RPG by Marren J. T. MacAdam

• Ritual Terzanelle. A Ritual by Samuel J. Mendez

• Photo Witches. An RPG y Mark Gerrits

• Sigil. Original art by Arin Kaplan

• On that Misty Winded Midnight I Called Out to You. An RPG/LARP by Justin Joyce

• Today is a Sacred Day. An RPG Supplement by Maik Malaik

• Cthulic Love. Original art by A. M. Filiatreault

• Simple Pleasure, Heart's Desire. An RPG/LARP by Emma Larkins

Volume II submissions will open up in May with a theme TBD. It will be super rad.

RPGs returning in stock soon

The inventory of all my zines is dangerously low, like fewer than 10 copies of almost everything. But now that it looks like the A6 paper shortage has been rectified, I will probably do some bulk ordering of RPGs in another month or so.

That involves: Portal at Hill House, this world is not yours, Our Innermost Thoughts, RITE, and the reworked Reunification. If you want to get notified when I order more, you can go here and sign up for any of them that are currently out of stock.

And as always, you can grab the PDFs on my itch store.

Travis was on Coffee Talk

The super awesome Spencer Campbell (Gila RPGs) had me on for Coffee Talk this past Sunday. It's his weekly discussion with indie RPG designers. We discussed coffee, train games, and RPGs! It was fun.

You can check it out here.

That's what I got for now. Lots of stuff almost ready to go, including: a solo journaling RPG, Distilled & Focused Vol II submission window opening, the reprint of all the RPGs, the inevitable return of train gaming, some possible cool news for my RPG Humans., and more. Now if only I can get through this systematic literature review over these next 8 weeks...

Thanks for everything, all!

Travis
