Zombie Apocalypse


So, another option is to use The Mutant Epoch TTRPG hub rules to play a Walking Dead style game, set in the far future, or tomorrow morning. Use moaners as zombies, but slow them to half and any successful bite attack means the victim must make a willpower based hazards check or become infected and slowly turn.

Survivalist Mode



One of the setting options in The Mutant Epoch hub rules book is to play a modern survivalist scenario. You’d strip out the sci-fi relics, robots, androids, cyborgs and mutants and play ‘The Road’ , Mad Max, the postman, or The Book of Eli, as examples.

The Mutant Epoch cover art revisited



Here’s the cover to the game’s hub rules. I haven’t shown this in quite awhile and many of you haven’t seen it yet on this platform. This was digitally painted one character at a time over pencil drawings. I’ll show these wonderful freaks here individually over the next few days. I’m currently working on the part two to this 246 page book called TME Expansion Rules.

Mecha Invasion!


From our core rule book, the Post Apocalyptic Setting and Time Frame.  In this case, robots are to blame.

Grass Leech



These damn things don’t even need to lurk in water, and love nothing more than to mass together and latch onto sleeping travelers. They inject a lethargy inducing toxin into those they bite, and feed in peace before detaching once bloated.

The Mall of Doom ad

 Ad for The Mall of Doom from the back of an Excavator Monthly Magazine. I always liked this one. Wish I had 36 hour days instead of these 24 hour rotations and could get back to these magazines. Maybe an Excavator Quarterly?

Gliding Spider


Sure, an adult human can probably cope with one bite from these arachnids, but these things swarm large targets and can deliver multiple bites, cause their victims to drop into a coma, and possible death.

Razor Tailed Skink


At only 50 cm long, with 30cm of that being it’s dreaded, razor sharp bone tail, these tiny terrors can open up a person’s leg and cause a real bleeder. Worse, once these lizards make a hit, they will cough loudly and attract more of their kind to the impending feast.

RPG Overviews, check it out

Just recovering from camping, doing some freelance stuff to pay the bills today and back to editing on the Expansion Rules again tonight. While I'm doing some maps for Goodman Games, I'm listing to our friend Brandon 's youtube channel RPG Overviews. He's a member here and the guy who started the One Day Digs and has some wicked content in the upcoming XR rules. 

He's got a series of vids on drivethrurpg freebies that are great, short little vids as well as longer deep dives. Check it out and give him some Epochian support! WM

Fireside Drawing

Another shot from this weekend’s first camp trip. At this point the others had gone to bed, and it was just me, the sketchbook, the fire, and the tiny critters moving about the first floor. More art for the upcoming TME Expansion Rules

This is no way to treat my drawing hand!


We were camping at Scotch Creek British Columbia this weekend, our first trip of the year and it was fantastic. No bugs, yet. I did mess up my hand a few times, but still managed to do about a dozen pencils for The mutant Epoch Expansion Rules book, and ride bikes, eat smokies and drink cider.

Scavengers and Excavators: What’s the Difference?


A one page article on how ruin exploring excavators, also called ‘diggers’ are team based, get -rich-quick minded operators, while scavs tend to be loners, and survive off low grade salvaging at the outskirts of larger ruin areas.

Survival Pistol



While it’s magazine only takes ten rounds, this widely issued concealed carry sidearm was very popular among civilians in the pre-collapse era, and even more popular after things went to hell. It has a built in flashlight, compass, fire starter, knife and other items, and does accept standard 20 round mags.

Saw Jawed Newt

Attacking from shallow water, packs of these half meter long ambush predators will latch onto prey and use their serrated teeth to thrust from side to side to saw into the flesh of their victims.
