This #WIPWednesday, trying out a layout design test for my #TrophyRPG Gold incursion: A Stranger Sun.

Layout is definitely my worst skill when it comes to publishing #TTRPGs, so I'm open to anyone's secret tips or tricks! (Beyond "Read Explorers Design," which I already do.)

We are running a mini season of Cthulhu Dark inspired games, based on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Games will be run consecutively from 8-14 April, UK evenings on The Raspy Raven, see link in my profile.

Just a few more days left to back The Wassailing of Claus Manor, a holly jolly horror game for the holidays

All the writing, graphics, and layout looks incredible — I'm holding out hope it hits the $7k mark so we get the design deep dive!
