Ran a great game at Pure Panic Comics and Games today!

Happy May Day

It's TLRA Tuesday! THE LONG ROAD AHEAD is about Great Journeys and Great Sacrifices. Take on the role of wanderers embarking on an epic quest. The Road along which you travel cuts through a world of miraculous wonders, ancient mystery, unrelenting terrors & quiet beauty. A world worth saving.

USERNAME UPDATE! Arcana-TTRPG ➡️ Level-Zero-Gaming Because Arcana is not the only game I've written and released, I'm going to be updating this profile to reflect that! I have been making games and game add-ons under the name Level Zero since 2016, so that's the name I'll use here from now onward!

For the purposes of not annoying everyone, I'm only going to repost this once (for now), but I want to repost it way more than that.
