Drift of Dreams is the first Graphic Novel to come out of the Swordsfall Universe. An afropunk sci-fantasy created by Brandon Dixon, Swordsfall was successfully launched on Kickstarter in April, 2019 raising more than $120,000 for the RPG Setting and Artbook "Welcome to Tikor". The Drift of Dreams graphic novel was successfully kickstarted in August, 2019 raising nearly $25,000. Drift of Dreams is 184 full color pages exploring not only the world of Tikor but the dimension called the Tapestry, where only humans can enter during dreams. Until the lurking dark god, Xavian the Wither King, found a way to invade and corrupt it. The human protectors of the Tapestry, Dreamweavers, assemble, and it is up to The Seeker to see if they can stop the corruption before it is too late. Written by Brandon Dixon, 10 different artists combined their talents for the interior artwork. Swordsfall lead artist, Tumo Mere, created the Ishvana cover and artist Chris Cold created the Xavian cover. You can purchase Drift of Dreams on the Swordsfall website or on Amazon.

Welcome to Bonus XP - a sideshow of the regular RPG Heroes podcast. In Bonus XP episodes, I do side quests such as reviews, extra interviews and collaborations with other podcasts. This way, we can earn bonus XP on top of the main RPG Heroes quest, which will remain the fortnightly episodes with a specific topic and an RPG Hero interview. I hope you enjoy this first installment of Bonus XP: the Omegaville cast interview! It is what it says on the box: an interview with the entire cast of the Omegaville podcast, a CyberPunk Actual Play podcast that is near and dear to my heart. You can find them on every major podcasting platform. They will be using this interview as their episode 0. It was a blast to talk to these wonderful folks, and lucky for me, Chris Hamje from Omegaville did all the editing work and music - top notch as usual!
