Canvas
In Canvas, you play as a painter competing in an art competition. Players will collect art cards, layering 3 of them together to create their own unique Painting. Each card contains a piece of artwork as well as a set of icons used during scoring. Icons will be revealed or hidden based on the way players choose to layer the cards making for an exciting puzzle. Paintings are scored based on a set of Scoring cards which will change each game.
A copy of the game is $28 and upgrades are available.
NPC Portraits Decks for RPGs
Each card is a character, with a portrait on one side and suggestions for playing the NPC on the other. The portrait on the front of the card can inspire the GM and spark the imagination of the players. Our NPC Portraits decks have been popular for years.
These decks increase the art quality and provide consistent top-notch writing by Andrew Shields. He packs the back of every card with the character’s personality, suggests a strength, quirk, quote, etc. (depending on the character) for portraying the NPC, and provides background to enrich your game with ideas for working the character into your adventures. All character cards have a “Leverage” section that suggests how the character reacts to deception, intimidation, and persuasion.
We plan to make at least three new decks, each with 52 NPCs.
A 1 deck physical with digital bundle is $12, other options are available.
Wickedness – Narrative RPG
Welcome to Wickedness, a fantasy RPG by M Veselak about the resilience and power of queer community. Form a coven between three mystical archetypes (the innocent and gentle Pure Heart, the volatile, revelrous Wild Spirit, and the uptight, scholarly Old Soul) and try to keep your world of magic and mystery in balance with the mundane world, in spite of its ignorance, poverty and violence.
Wickedness is a peculiar tabletop game written for exactly three players and one tarot deck, with no dice and no GM. It uses a bespoke tarot-drawing system loosely inspired by Jay Dragon’s Sleepaway, but is itself a departure from the Belonging Outside Belonging framework developed by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum.
A PDF is $5 and a zine bundle is $22 – there’s an opportunity to donate community copies, as well.
