Expansion Rules Proof Copies Arrived!
Release Date OCT 15 2024
So besides about a hundred
inks that still need to be done and inserted,
there were only two issues with the proof
copies. They involve time consuming fixes,
however. One is that the gray scale art printed
out way to gray, with the black of the faded
out, so I need to convert all the interior art
to RGB file format which for some reason when I
make the press ready PDFs produces rich blacks
but doubles the files size even though the art
has no color.
Secondly, the fancy ass frames
I made for all the sections are causing issues
with full bleed so I’m going to make a simple
top frame with section header at the top outside
for ease of finding what the GM is looking for,
with the page number in an all new graphic on
the bottom outside edge of each page. This is
all many days work. The PDF version will have
the fancy edge, and is going to be fully
internally linked.

TME
Expansion Rules Update
Hey, Epochians, I just
made a huge post at The Mutant Epoch
Blog giving an update on the progress of
the TME Expansion Rules book. I've got
hundreds of small interior illustrations
to do yet but we're almost there!
Now, its time to get back to inking
muties! WM

TME
Expansion Rules Update
Layout Complete!
Just wrapping up the
cover art and design, late play testing
and edit inserts. The big task now is
doing the 100+ interior images.
Some
of these are full page illustrations
using black and white on gray paper, but
most are quarter page to thumbnail sized
inks presenting implants, small relics,
new bestial humans, and untold numbers
of other spot images. These images will
all be for sale at very reasonable
prices, especially for Society of
Excavator members.

tinkering, we finally got this one out! Now,

efforts on the home stretch of the TME Expansion

Dog Daze Adventure TME-5 To be Released in
November 2021
Dog Daze Art, cover, editing, layout completed and
undergoing last stages of proofing and play test. We are
aiming for an early November 2021 release of this 240
page solo play adventure.
Dog Daze Final Playtest
Recent pics from the final
pre-publication author’s playtest of Adventure TME-5 Dog
Daze. Due for release in early November. Wish these 1st
rank characters good luck, as the attrition rate on this
adventure is about 70%.
Start generating your own excavators —
but don’t get too attached to ‘em!
Also see the permanent product
page for Dog Daze, here.

Daze
Update on Dog Daze
Adventure TME-5
We are in the final layout and art for
Dog Daze, Adventure TME-5, a massive
200+ page solo adventure for 1 hardy PC.
This was supposed to be a 50 or so page
long, 'quarantine special' game for all
of you in-person gamers who couldn't get
to together, but it ballooned into an
extensive multi-path behemoth.
It's gonna be great, but challenging, so
start rolling up some first rank
characters..
Release date to be announced.

PS. Still working on the Expansion
rules. Cover art reveal shortly.

Removing the mask on the cover art for
Dog Daze, a solo-play adventure for The Mutant Epoch
RPG. I haven’t used the old airbrush in a long, long
time and this was stressful! As far as paintings go, I
feel ready to tackle the Expansion Rules Cover again.

June 26th 2020 Just
released
Wizard of the Wastes
by
Rey Rodriguez
A diabolical wasteland wizard
A village enslaved
An island fortress and its steel clad
protectors
Tuvor, a dusty
tribesman, interrupts your dig team's drinking
to plead for help. To the north, his people
suffer under the heel of an evil wizard who has
enslaved them and murdered his wife. He seeks a
band of adventure-hungry excavators to rid his
land of the wizard's blight. Your party has
plundered the depths of the long-dead cities for
lost tech and defeated mutant horrors of the new
era, but have you been heroes before? Perhaps
this adventure will answer that question.
This is our 9th One Day Dig, written by Rey
Rodriguez, and is a Pay What You Want adventure
suitable for both new and experienced players
using characters of 1st or 2nd rank and can
occur in the Crossroads Region
http://www.outlandarts.com/crossroads-region.htm
or the Game Master's own setting. It includes 3
maps, 11 illustrations, and is 15 pages. Look
for upcoming post-apocalyptic adventures and
supplements from Outland Arts.

the sketches on illustration board on for two hand
painted adventure covers. One is for Wizards of the
Wastes, and the other for Dog Daze.
Wizard of the Wastes

I just finished the pencil art for
the interior inks today and hope to start the cover
painting tomorrow.

Dog Daze is by yours truly,
William McAusland, and a revamp of an old solo play
adventure I crafted a decade ago when doing the early
playtests for the Outland System . Its gonna be a very
affordable single character, single player adventure,
and designed for solo play. I'm just on the last scene
encounters write ups for this one.
Why solo play?
I had this idea that a solo play
adventure would be great these days of the pandemic,
when you might not be able to get together with your
usual gaming group, or like many of you are new to the
Mutant Epoch RPG and want to take it for a spin. One GM
could also run this for a single player, likewise, with
some tweaking to the encounter strength, a game master
could easily convert this to a regular multiplayer
adventure.

The Mutant Epoch Expansion Rules
are still in the works. With my retinal Detachment, I
have been set back greatly, and find that I am unable to
work in oils on the cover and have also projected the
image again and will attempt the cover using acrylics
like the above two images.
I have been unable to see my eye
doctor because of the whole Coivid-19 thing, but do have
an appointment lined up and am hoping to either get
glasses or a new contact lens system that will allow me
to spend more time illustrating without the eye strain
and difficulties that have hampered production so
profoundly.
A thousand apologies for the delay,
