Gatecrashers

After tossing people through time/space's lower digestive tract, we collectively decided to do a bit of a mythos restart. This ink and watercolor by Derek Vaughan Brown shows the gonzo in 1917, the time and place where was invented. Season 01 sets the stakes, introduces key players, and gets people used to the interactive, social mechanics of the game.

When we started writing Gatecrashers modules, we started with the filthy, post-scifi stylings of Backend, a port city that dangles from a roving, broken planetoid. This cover art by Ghostbat was for a 5e D&D module called "Dominion of Detritus," where some newly arrived Gatecrashers navigate the complex and corrupt socioeconomic dungeon at the multiverse's bu****le.

Sanctuary Lake provides fresh water to the entirety of Wanderlust, the Gatecrasher homeworld, as it hurtles through time-space. Interplanar biological theorist and illustrator Ben Smith has suggested that this seemingly endless source of water is a portal to another world. Explorers also claim that its currents carry untold alien dangers up from its depths.

Gatecrashers is a new tabletop RPG for wanderers of every genre. This illustration by Ben Smith is the underside of Wanderlust, a shady omni-punk port town which dangles from the underside of a spacerock. This is the most common destination for new arrivals and home to one of the largest support networks for time-refugees.

Welcome to Wanderlust, the home of the Gatecrashers. This ink and water color painted by Ghostbat in 2017 was the very beginning of the Gatecrasher TTRPG series. Wanderlust is a post-post-apocalyptic world swirling the toilet bowl of chaos and entropy.
