A Shepherd Called Bales
Written by Johnny Jensen and drawn by Maren Bean, A Shepherd Called Bales is a story about a young, anti-social woman who wants nothing more than to be left alone to take care of her strangely many-colored sheep in the wake of the apocalypse. When the same monsters that brought the world to its knees begins to target the people in Bales' community of survivors, Bales is forced to face her own demons. As another prophesied end of days approaches, Bales needs to learn the value of living together, instead of surviving alone.

The Dead Wars
On April 22, 2023, in Provo Utah, 1,226 Dungeons and Dragons Players gathered together to break the world record for the most players playing one game of Dungeons and Dragons. And they did.
Written by Johnny Jensen with the cover art by Maren Bean, the Dead Wars is a multi-table adventure with intertwining narratives. With new instructions on how to run it yourself, The Dead Wars can be run with as few as four tables, and up to . . . well as many as you want. The PDF is available on DriveThruRPG.
