Over one hundred years ago in October, the Canadian Expeditionary Forces landed in Europe. By 1917 they had command over their own troops and no longer viewed as a colony coming to aid their home country but as it’s own nation.

Who were these soldier? In the next hour we’ll create the character we’ll play in this campaign and get to meet the trench busters of Passchendaele in 1917. And along the way we each share a lot of history between each other and learn more about our own origins.

Before we launch into our next campaign, allow me to introduce you to Daniel Kwan and Patrick Keenan from Dundas West Games. Their newest game, Ross Rifles, is launching on Kickstarter TODAY so go check them out and send them your love.

Ross Rifles is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the Canadian trenches of the First World War and in this interview we discuss why Daniel and Patrick chose that setting, how they designed the tools to play the game, and some of the stories and themes we’ll encounter when we play Ross Rifles.

Starting next week, in our next episode, we’ll sit down with Daniel and Patrick to play a full session of Ross Rifles in the trenches of Passchendaele in 1917.

Every clearing that the Crosspatch Gang flees to they find themselves fleeing from. I'm sure Lindberry will be different right? Once they deal with this raven standing in the road...

Arriving in Sundell our wayward vagabonds seek shelter among friends. Who is Ingrid Claw the leader of the Sundell rebellion? How is Cloak wrapped up in all of this? Difficult choices must be made and the Crosspatch Gang has a habit of leaving difficult choices behind burning in a fire...

A disgraced inventor, an outcast double-agent, a thief on the run, and a scoundrel that's... just happy to be here! They're all seeking one thing. Redemption. And safe refuge. Ok, two things. They're all seeking two things, redemption and safe refuge and the opportunity of a better life. Ok three things they're all seeking. Look, they've got a lot on their mind ok? They're running from one fire into the another fire and have an important choice to make. Where do they run to? The embrace of the Eyrie Dynasties? The gaze of the Marquisate? Or the promise of the independent clearings that claim to be free of the factions in this war?

The Woodland is at war. The Eryie Dynasties and The Marquisate vie for control of the clearings as the animal denizens are caught in the middle of the conflict. Between them all are the Vagabonds. Animals exiled, either by choice or by circumstance, who call no clearing home and owe no faction their allegience. 

But who are our vagabonds? That's what today is all about! Meet the woodland creatures who will fill our tale with adventure. By the end of this hour we'll have all the backstory we could want!
