Exclusion Zone Botanist Epsilon Unpub character sheet

Exclusion Zone Botanist Epsilon Unpub character sheet

Exclusion Zone Botanist: Epsilon (although it’s a solo game) might be getting some playtests at Unpub next week. Whipped up a quick character sheet to use.

This is just for testing and the final may look nothing like this.

My Dungeon Design Process and the February update.

This is a very cool peek-at-process by @mallenhall.com . I love getting to see the notebook pages and maps-under construction!

Unguided just means the tester received the rulebook and nothing else. As opposed to a test where the game designer either participates in some way or at least verbally explains the game in addition to what’s in the rulebook (β€œguiding” the play).

TUMULUS 06

TUMULUS 06

Tumulus 06 "Hammer a nail in the coffin." is all about vampires and the dangerous dead. Couldn't pass up a chance to explore Blood Borg and do a mini interview (3 questions) with @worldchamp.bsky.social!

This issue will begin shipping in March 2026 which is just a few weeks away!

Oh god, there’s a scene where a girl says good night to her dad, he turns off the light, and when she rolls over the monster is in bed next to her. That RUINED me at 7 years old.
