After twelve years in police work and an impressive semi-pro football career, Shane embraced his childhood passion for creating epic fantasy stories.

Here at day 2 of TPK 4!

Here, Harrison Parker studies a 4-way chess board. In my travels throughout the Milky Way, I have noticed that some variation of this game (sometimes several) exists in almsot every culture. While most of them are 2-person games, this 4-way one puts some interesting twists on it.

TPK is a gaming convention for the Hacktastic Role-playing Game by Black Pigeon Press. You humans of Earth have such impressive imaginations! Nowhere is this more evident than in your fantasy gaming events.

Here at TPK (which I’m told stands for Total Party Kill) the first person you meet is Mr. Corey Phillips, the President of the Gamer Enforcement Agency (GEA). He greets you at the door with his cheerful attitude (and apparently if you’re a p’ckit dragon, a hug).
