Tablecraft
GM tools that survive contact with play
GM advice, monster behavior, consequences, procedures, encounter tools, and practical guidance for tables where tension has to earn its keep.
Tobacco Road Games
Games with teeth. Stories with roots. Tools for the table.
Tobacco Road Games is the tabletop publishing workshop of RV Sawyer, shaped by 46 years behind the screen across fantasy, science fiction, horror, superheroes, pulp, westerns, survival play, and stranger roads besides.
Workshop Status
The store is changing
Marketplace links and public product listings have been removed from this site while Tobacco Road Games builds its own direct digital storefront.
This site is now the front porch and workshop bench, not the external product rack. For the moment, it is here to speak in its own voice, show the kind of work Tobacco Road Games builds, and make room for what comes next.
A direct digital store is planned. When it is ready, announcements and access will begin here rather than through a marketplace handoff.
Built from the working side of the screen
Table-tested, not theory-tested
RV Sawyer has spent decades running games across systems, genres, tones, and player temperaments. Tobacco Road Games grows out of that practical table experience, not from abstract advice written at a distance.
This is a working GM's bench, rules with scars, adventures with weather, monsters with motives, and tools that know the table is alive.

Charactercraft
Player-facing material with something to say
Player options, class and subclass material, character-facing rules, sheets, growth tools, and inspiration engines built for actual use.
Strange Roads
Adventures, systems, folklore, weather, and weird frontiers
Adventures, systems, survival-minded play, folklore horror, science fiction grit, mythic forests, pulp danger, and stranger country besides.
