We're back! With a new player, discussing our characters, digging into the rules of the game, and generally preparing for the first stream, which we *think* will be on January 24th. Stay tuned!

The West is known for it's rough-and-tumble types. The sorta sons of guns that are tough as nails and just as hammered. But even amongst the worst of the rabble-rousers and trouble-makers that find themselves skulking about the dusty old mining town of Southpaw, not a one has the guts to pick a fight with the grizzled old wolverine what comes down from the mountain at the end of each ...
Toaster and Kah have been working their asses off on this surprise for the last few months! A visual novel adaptation of Cape Escape that fleshes out the story in several directions, adds more perspectives, and even gives us more of those Bad Ends that never quite happened in our horror TTRPG!
(many visuals in the teaser are placeholders)
Stay tuned for more news in the coming months! Your support on Patreon helps make something like this possible!

"The frontier is no place for a learned man" Conrad's colleagues warned him before his survey team set out westward. They held such small-minded ideals for big-city academics. They viewed the people out here as lawless lowlifes, hootin' and hollerin' and carrying on in ways most unbecoming. They saw the necessity in teams like his to docume...

You'd be hard pressed to find folk in this corner of the West that ain't heard the exploits of the villainous 'Boxcar Beck'. While it's tough to sort out fact from fib in the many tales of his wicked crimes, damn near everyone seems to be in agreement that he was one mean sonofabitch, and the frontier's been safer since his fiery death in Obsidian during the Fire at P...
2023-12-15 01:38:01 +0000 UTC View PostKeith: Hey all, I was looking at an old story of mine and thought it would make for some good Deadlaws lore, actually, so I rewrote most of it. It's told nonlinearly because I'm an asshole, and the prose is overdone because I'm just like this. I don't know if it's good writing, but it's certainly more of it!

Even heroes got something to run from, and this here 'Hero of Southpaw', as they call him, well let's just say there's a reason he don't stick in one place too long.
Argo Martindale, 'Fastest paw in the West', he's been called. Perhaps a bit of a generous sobriquet, but one he's more than happy to sow. Indeed, he's become something of a local fixture at the sal...
2023-12-07 03:46:16 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Keith first invited me to join the as-of-yet-unnamed TTRPG, I was on the fence. I’d never played an actual roleplaying game like D&D before, despite growing up with some D&D lite board games like Hero Quest and DragonStrike. Not really knowing what to expect, and worrying I might drag the group down as an inexperienced newbie, the idea felt a little overwhelming at first. Of course, I’m thankful I decided to join! The Cape Escape campaign was a blast and I was super impressed...

Hey everyone, Keith here! My brain was cooking a prequel story for Jet in the background and I finally put it down on paper. This story makes a bit more sense if you've made it through at least part 9 of Cape Escape.
Hope ya'll enjoy!

Today we're very excited to reveal the second Gnollplaying Games campaign we'll be running - a look into the Otherside first glimpsed in Cape Escape now being explored by a group of desperate desperados back in the old west. With death and decay closing in on the destitute town of Southpaw, the townsfolks' only hope to escape the Otherside is with the aid of our band of unlikely heroes, the Deadlaws.
Look forward to additional previews in the lead-up to the premiere of Deadlaws, coming...
Toaster wrote a short story about Sandals that takes place after the events of Cape Escape, but before whatever comes next.
