Why I like Into the Odd

What makes Into the Odd (and, by extension, Electric Bastionland) so great? Here are a few reasons.

Those Who Came Before published!

TL;DR: My science fantasy supplement "Those Who Came Before" (written for Into the Odd Remastered and games derived from it) is published and available on Itch.io!
