Crawler | A fantasy RPG about extraction, extinction, and blowing up pipelines.
In a fantasy world where raw magic is extracted from the earth like a fossil fuel—unsustainably, dangerously, and for the profit of billionaire death cultists—you are a member of the Black Shields: an order of anti-extractionist resistance fighters.
The Shields aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. You've blown up a pipeline before, and you'd gladly do it again because you care about the future. It's not a question of if raw magic will spill from pipelines and freighters to transform local wildlife into bloodthirsty abominations—it’s a question of when.
A percentage of all zine sales’ profits are donated to extraction resistance efforts.
Zine #1 | Extraction
Foil the greedy magic extraction industry's plans with cunning spells, creative violence, and collective action.
Plan attacks on magic extraction sites along the Feystone Hex-L Pipeline. But you know what they say about best-laid plans: sometimes, they go sideways when a bunch of necromancers show up to fight you. What? No one says that? Well, it's true.
56 pages / 8.5 x 5.5” / saddle stitched / system agnostic.
Zine #2 | Extinction
Follow the Feystone Hex-L Pipeline underground and discover an ancient evil. Bludgeon (or be bludgeoned by) the reanimated fossils of animals that early humans helped usher towards extinction. This one's got a giant drill kaiju, a doomed lich’s dungeon, and utopian city planning.
56 pages / 8.5 x 5.5” / system agnostic.
Zine #3 | Chicxulub
Road trip! In the aftermath of destroying a pipeline and/or lich, the party’s on the run from more enemies than they can count. Complicating matters, their comrades in Central America call for aid. Hijack a houseboat, hop a hover-train, or high-tail it on a horse to evade capture at the hands of state thugs, shapeshifting wights, and giant wasps. Remember: it’s about the journey, and about the extraction infrastructure you blow up along the way.
36 pages / 8.5 x 5.5” / saddle stitched / system agnostic.
Zine #4 | Undermined
An unfathomably chaotic elemental storm pummels the Yucatan Peninsula with snow, lava, firenadoes, and worse. The source seems to be a recently re-opened mine…did someone say too greedily and too deep? Confront autonomous mining constructs on the fritz, resurrected dinosaur fossils, and a haunted artificial intelligence while trying to stop the storm.
46 pages / 8.5 x 5.5” / saddle stitched / system agnostic.
