Rogue Scroll: Swords Without Overplayer
/
Rogue Scroll is a little something I cooked up in my alchemical laboratory last week. A bare-bones version of Swords Without Master that fits on a single page.

It has almost been a fortnight since the super blood wolf moon ushered in the WolfspellKickstarter. Much has happened these past two weeks. We have funded! We revealed a work-in-progress mock-up of what the actual album jacket will look like. We were named one of Kickstarter’s “Projects We Love.” We were briefly mentioned in Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk podcast. And of course, featured over on Geek & Sundry!
We have also had a couple Wolfspell adventures over on the ActualPlay Twitch channel, which you can enjoy as well.

Still very much a work in progress, but a portent of things to come!
Shel Kahn has just given us our first glimpse at what the final Wolfspell will look like. The art on the cover is still a work in progress, but look at how it’s progressing! Imagine this beast standing before you, one foot tall and a powerful three feet long!
Join Shel and me this Sunday morning at 11 AM EST on the ActualPlay Twitch channel where we’ve been invited to play a swift, two-hour game of Wolfspell.
But also, look at that album jacket and rush over to the Kickstarter before time runs out!
