A little reading before tonight’s festivities. Or a backup plan if the snow gets bad. In fact if I have family staying longer than planes I may run this! On theme! #ttrpg #thelastcaravan

Triangle Agency (no spoilers)

Ich habe in 2023 zwei Rollengespiele per Crowdfunding unterstützt, weil sie super interessant schienen:

The Last Caravan

von Ted Bushman (Mythworks)

Ein Roadtrip in einer Welt, in der ein Krieg zwischen Aliens und Menschen beide Seiten in den Ruin getrieben hat: Niemand hat gewonnen, und die Charaktere sind auf der Suche nach einem sicheren Ort. Dabei liegt der Reiz in der menschlichen Komponente: Die Figuren sind nicht heldenhaft, sondern ganz normale Leute die jetzt klarkommen […]

Anyone already played #TheLastCaravan ? Idea and setting looking promising but to be honest, I don't want to do a road trip through the US and my question is how easy it would be to move the campaign to Europe? Do I need to rewrite everything? #ttRPGdesign #TTRPG

Visited the game store this morning and picked up this wallet game from ButtonShy Games (I don’t think this one was Kickstarted) and ordered a copy of The Last Caravan RPG, which will arrive next week. And no, I didn’t get the sourdough at the game store, but that would be cool…

A hand holds a black cardholder featuring the text "Xavier Davidson's REVOLVER NOIR" in a stylized white font. The background shows a blurred corridor.

I'm pretty happy with this VTT landing page for #TheLastCaravan #TTRPG. I originally wanted to put all kinds of things like binoculars, a radio, a pistol, etc., but it was getting too crowded, and I wanted the map to be the focus.

A stylized map of the United States from The Last Caravan is against a wood background, surrounded by a compass, a hunting knife in a sheath, an open blank-lined journal, and a glowing green white sphere shot through with glowing green cracks.

Come play #TheLastCaravan with me at
#GameholeCon! I’m running a late-game one-shot set in Yellowstone. Cars, alien ruins, rival factions. Gonna be great.

This weekend, for every 3 copies sold, we'll throw up another free community copy. Get 'em while they're hot!

Excited to say that @mythworkshq will be publishing #TheLastCaravan!

In addition to being on sale in many more places starting in 2024, this means the book is upgrading to hardcover for all backers! #ttrpg

A test print of The Last Caravan by Ted Bushman resting on a wooden table. The cover depicts a rural highway blanketed with snow, a lone car driving toward us--away from an ominous alien spaceship on the horizon. Three travelers stand side by side in the sky: a woman with a baby and a sniper rifle, a man with a woodcutting axe, and a resolute dobermann pinscher.

A hand opening the book to a page with the header “Wrench.” An image of a Black woman holding a lug wrench backed by a highway map. The facing page shows rules for the playing a Wrench in The Last Caravan.

The Region design for Snake River Ruin, formatted like a park ranger’s guidebook with a map of the post-invasion Rocky Mountain Regions.

Character sheets for the Lookout and Stargazer at the back of The Last Caravan.

My profound thanks to everyone who backed and playtested #TheLastCaravan, and for the wonderful collaborators who made the process fun and rewarding, even as we pulled long hours getting everything ready for winter.

For those interested, the game will soon be available digitally and in print!

I also want to thank Mari Murdock and @that_deangelo for their thoughtful and exciting designs for the setting of The Last Caravan. Both brought rich ideas that broadened and deepened the America we depicted--and wrapped it all in excitement and creativity. #TheLastCaravan

The character sheets Carson Wright made are a thing of beauty! What an enhancement to the game. I'll be thinking about how cleverly he laid out the visual references and traveler tracking every time I play. #TheLastCaravan

@tedbushman is a creative genius and a joy to work with.

Artists Jeff Langevin, Hayden Davis, James Firnhaber, Spencer Hawkes, and Galen Pejeau added so much to the visual identity of the book. I was and am constantly in awe of the art in this game.

#TheLastCaravan pdf is out to backers today!

This has been one of the hardest, most intense periods of creative work I've had. I'm so thrilled for creator/designer @TedBushman, and incredibly proud of my work as editor, designer, and layout artist. This game's amazing! #ttrpg

If anyone is considering guests for podcasts, YouTube, or convention panels, I’m looking to book more of this in 2024!

I’m a GM for hire, content manager at @ghostlightrpgs, #ttrpg designer/editor on #TheLastCaravan, #Darkplane, @dnd_advleague, and more coming in 2024! I’m a great guest!
