Andrew Beauman brings Sarge and Norma to the table, and we create Harmony together. Sarge, Norma, and Harmony are survivors of a spaceship crash hoping to make it back out of orbit.

Andrew and I discuss troupe-style mechanics and playing multiple characters - and how that changes the way we create characters. We discuss finding empathy through TTRPGs and learning that not everything is made for our perspective.

These characters are built for Out of Orbit (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewbeauman/out-of-orbit-a-troupe-survival-ttrpg) , currently Kickstarting as part of Zine Month (https://www.kickstarter.com/zinequest) .

Andrew Beauman is a game designer and artist with a background in graphic design and marketing. His first game was published through Zine Month 2024, titled Battle School. He also co-hosts a podcast called One Shot’s Tavern about exploring new ways to tell your story through different games.
