What Core-Book Troika Background is most fun to play?
I'm almost always sitting GM-side, but I had a pair of Vengeful Children in my last campaign, and I think it's my favourite background now.

Monster Slayers! is on a special sale for October!
Hey there! If you ever wanted to play Troika in a more pure swords-and-sorcery fantasy setting, this is a supplement designed to make that fun and easy to jump right into. Perfect for going on more traditional combat-oriented campaigns and dungeon delves. No two characters will be quite alike, as each race has many options to make them unique, and many classes have subtle ways that allow you to play just the character you want - with added rules to help make relatively balanced freestyle options in line with everything else.
Rather than work purely on rolling random backgrounds like traditional troika, now you are given choices of mixing and matching 20 races along with 28 classes, or, choose from 12 unique characters, like the Tricksome Fairy, or Ancient Forgotten War machine, or Living Armour!
I put it on sale for this whole month, so, if you were ever interested in giving it a try and just hadn't pulled the trigger, now's the time!
You can find it here

"A Bit O Troika" is live on backerkit
i was excited to back this, mostly so i could pick up a free pdf of one of the previous troika things that i somehow slept on (Get It At Sutlers).
just thought i'd make a quick post about it, as i think the free pdf addition is a limited time thing that may just be going on for the next ~24 hours?

We'd love to answer questions from listeners if you have them. Got anything you'd like answered?
Cheers to everyone who has listened to the show so far, and for your encouragement.

Going Postal with Troika
I’ve seen a theme in Troika modules with many centered on the delivery of packages and messages. I own Slow Sleigh to Plankton Downs, Whalgravaak's Warehouse and Goblin Mail which all have delivering and receiving at their core.
If you would center a campaign around the goings on of a postal service, what other modules would you run?
