Hello friends!
Artist and game designer Keith Senkowski, a long-time friend of BWHQ, is starting a quarterly Torchbearer zine! The first issue promises art, fiction, and a ton of Torchbearer content, including a new class, new stock, new magic system, new skills and a new monster.
Do you need even more Torchbearer in your life? The cool cats at Mordite Press, makers of ‘Wicked dope Torchbearer Sagas content’ are at it again.
Today, as part of Kickstarter’s RPG Zine Quest, they launched The Grind, a Torchbearer zine packed with stories, one-page adventures, adventure ideas, monsters, items, town locations, NPCs, and more.
Check it out!
The fine folks at Mordite Press have launched a new Torchbearer blog that will update on Mondays! The first post is a primer on everything that’s currently available for the game. It’s super useful!

Way back in 2013, Lizlarsen created a bunch of campaign record sheets for Torchbearer and put them on our forums. But we’ve since retired the forums, and apparently only users who had a login before we retired them can access the PDFs. So I’ve rescued them! Links below.
Check out this sweet cheat sheet created by Oliver Granger to help Torchbearer players and GMs figure out what to roll and when.
Well met, dear adventurers!
This is a long time coming but we’ve finally picked our favorite Torchbearer adventure pitch! And our champion is…
Hand of the Pit by Todd James!
There were a lot of really great submissions, and choosing just one was most challenging! Honorable mention goes to Jim Morris’s Mausoleum of the Moderate Monk and Paul Jennings’ A Rising Tide.
Thor Olavsrud of Torchbearer RPG (and one of our esteemed contest judges) encourages everyone who made a submission to work on their adventures and release it under the Torchbearer Sagas or Torchbearer Dungeoneers & Dragonslayers licenses! “And I’m happy to provide some feedback on submissions to anyone that does want to finish their adventure and release it.”
Many thanks to all you bards out there who took the time to create such epic adventures and submit it! Twas a pleasure and an honor to read them all.
Your fellow bard,
Arlin

Check out this excellent ranger from a Torchbearer, Emily Delisle out in Vancouver. Quaewan is a calm, loner type who knows the spells Celestial Music and Arcane Semblance. Bad ass!
