Quick update on Chapter 8: Red Forces. The chapter includes an array of insurgent forces from elite to militias, tables to generate insurgent cells, the various threats (ambush, IEDs) that they pose, warlord groups, and criminal organizations. Really like the art - shout out to Tiffany Munro!
Here is a quick reveal for one of the specialties in the Core Book's character generation chapter. What specialty would you want to see in the game?
Check out our new first Campaign, Operation Iron Crossing, where the players deploy on a counterinsurgency mission to the Qalat region. While still in edit, really like whaat our graphic designer/editor Justin has made.
As an indie creator, we are hearing a desire for VTT to allow game play. What are your thoughts for solo play?
As we work towards completing the core book and initial campaign materials, we are hearing a desire for VTT to allow group play. What are your thoughts? I started working with Foundry to ascertain the timeline and possibilities.
Teammates, here is the selected logo for OTW -- thank you for your thoughts!!
Hello, I am building a new modern COIN warsim / TTRPG where the players can choose a country of origin and the appropriate squad weapon locker as they set up their characters for the session. I started with the US and UK, then started adding a few more, but really just pulling from the Afghan / ISIS War participants. Who do you guys want to play as?

Teammates, reaching out to see which logo (the words only, not the background pictures) do you think we should go with? Drop your comments below to let us know!
When writing the appendix a few items popped out that we needed to do and a few we wanted to do. Of course, listing Rogers' Rangers standing orders was a complete need.
In our upcoming Tabletop RPG Outside the Wire's GM chapter, we included a full mission briefing and an example GM-led session. While the Core book was written long before the scenario, Shepherd's Transit was based on this example - so spoiler warning! Of course, your squad could easily choose a different path to completion, but be forewarned! What are your thoughts on the book so far?
Our graphic designer has presented a few choices for the third scenario in our upcoming Campaign Set, Iron Crossing, -- which is your favorite?
Ambush at Dawn is the first scenario within our Iron Crossing Campaign for the Tabletop RPG Outside the Wire!
While we have made the game very solo-friendly, we couldn't forget about group play and the value of a good GM. Chapter 3 provides a table of a few resources and recommendations to help create the player's story.
To assist table play, we created six "threat" scenarios for solo and GM play. Each scenario ranges from criminal /pirate activity to complex attacks. What scenario would you want us to be sure to include?
Outside the Wire: Our lead editor and graphic designer, Tiffany Munro, created a timelapse video of the Caged Gambits tactical map creation. Very cool. Drawn in Clip Studio Paint on a Wacom Cintiq! Text added in Affinity after.
As we get through the core book edits, I plan to create a few more tactical maps and likely edit some of our older basic maps. What type of maps would you like to see?
By player request: Justin, our graphic designer, completed an ACA version of the Shepherd's Transit. This version is designed to be color-blind-friendly and available on DrivethruRPG and Itch.io. Let me know any feedback.
How does the Sandbox Campaign work? We built a weekly battle rhythm to enable players to link their sessions together across a deployment with an ever-changing ecosystem. The system is still being edited / layout - great time for feedback.
what is missing? should the deployment be longer than 12 weeks - that is a lot of sessions!! let me know your thoughts.
Among the tuesday news, Armchair Dragoons listed The Shepherds Transit availability on Drivethrurpg. We are truly appreciative of the community support as we travel down the indy road to production.
So we made a French squad and British half section for play.. for those looking beyond a US Army or Marine session. any interest?
By request, The Shepherds Transit is ready for download at Itch!
