Earlier this month, Laurence MacNaughton (a member of my Discord server) contacted me asking if I'd be interested in publishing Rabbit Tales, a Tricube Tales scenario he'd written for the Easter holidays! It looked great, and I thought it would be fun to release something special for Easter, so I agreed to do the layout, editing, and promotion.
Get it here: Rabbit Tales
Rabbit Tales draws inspiration from Watership Down, and I still remember being traumatized by the original animated version as a child! An interesting piece of trivia: Watership Down is a real place in southern England, around 35 miles from where I grew up.
It proved very difficult to find any suitable artwork for Rabbit Tales, so in the end, I had to use a public domain image from an 1875 book of animals. The original illustration showed a mother rabbit with her kittens, which didn't really fit the vibe, so I cropped out the larger mother to make it look like a colony of rabbits.
Laurence also provided an adventure called "Rabbit Tales: A Grim Omen", which had a different format to my usual Six-Scene Scenarios, and the layout proved quite challenging. I ended up rearranging the text so the scenes were all on the first page, and they referenced tables on the second page. Having done this once, I rather like it, and I may try using the same layout again in the future.
It's certainly fun to collaborate with other writers, although it's not something I would do too often, due to time constraints.
