Dev.log 002 Welcome to Blade and Banter
Rock it to the edge—where neon tattoos the night and myth claws through the circuit boards. Blade and Banter is a riot of folklore and rebellion charging the digital streets with raw, punk-fuelled fire. This launch is a fist raised in the dark, a toast cracked with friends, a promise that sword fights at dawn and coffee-fuelled banter at dusk are not only ideals but our battle cry.
This is the home for the wild-hearted, the storytellers who wield blades and wit alike. Here, the ancient and futuristic collide, sparking a mythpunk and sword & sorcery revolution. Armour’s optional—but camaraderie is required, because we don’t just tell stories—we live them on the sharp edge of action and comfort.
Action + Casual, Blade + Banter
We are the blade and the banter—the sharp edge of adventure, and the warm hum of camaraderie that keeps the hearth alive. Our worlds of Pangorio, the Judge of Mystics Saga, the Lieben Circuit, are filled with daring quests and laid-back cozy down-times, perfect for those who savour the sweep of epic sword and sorcery, timeless mythpunk and rebellious cyberpunk alongside a good laugh and a clever quip.
We’re a trio of veteran Game Master, artists, musicians and novelists handcrafting each of our titles and projects. Hand drawn art, by Sapha Burnell and Emily Armstrong. TTRPG adventures & campaigns by KS Bishoff. Stories by all three.
We’re hitting hard this autumn, to drive through winter with a grin on our faces and ice scrapers in our passenger seats.
What’s Dropping First?
Our September launch throws down five Table Top Role Playing Games, all of which are short, replayable and use a couple of six-sided dice. We’ve got a cozy cocoa-conundrum, some slick drinks at the local watering hole, and three cutthroat adventures to rile you up and throw some damage down.
Top Shelf — Step into the mythpunk universe of Sapha Burnell’s Judge of Mystics with this system-agnostic TTRPG one-shot. A cocktail of mythology and style, it’s all urban legend, whispered secrets, and barflies trying to trick, solve and fight their way to the top shelf liquor at the Pub in the centre of the Cosmos. Still brewing, but the first taste arrives this week—mix your magics and martinis (if you drink, drink responsibly).
Cocoa Craze — Also set in the Judge of Mystics world, this one-shot adventure is a more cozy version of Top Shelf made for younger players and casual gamers. Thirteen year old Karisma Calebdottir’s first slumber party is alive with cocoa treats and cooperative problem solving—not much combat, lots of magic and friendship. Sweet, cozy, and ready to charm all ages.
Cutthroat Gruelling Jail: New Edition — The first Eternal Dungeon Co release in KS Bishoff's D6 Quick-Play Adventure series Cutthroat, this is pure Sword and Sorcery grit. You’re locked in a brutal dungeon, with rich flakes taking bets on how long you’ll last—your goal: escape the gruelling jail or die trying. Sharpen your blades and your wits; the dungeon’s tough and the stakes are high.
Cutthroat Haunting on Red Hill: New Edition — The second Eternal Dungeon Co Cutthroat release, this is a haunted house steeped in Sword and Sorcery. The spirits are vengeful, and the halls whisper dark secrets. Or, are the townsfolk correct and it’s all a ruse from the Eternal Dungeon Co to buy low? Ready the torches and steel; the haunt begins later this week.
Cutthroat Crew: Sweet Dreams (Coming Soon...) — The first of the Cutthroat Crew D6 Quick-play adventures, this one tosses pirates on shore leave into chaos when magical breakfast foods attack. Expect absurd humour, wild fights, and a romp of swashbuckling fun. Sweet Dreams descends with eggy aplomb… late September.
