Rob was an honest, forthright writer and his love and enthusiasm for roleplaying games infected everyone who read his words.

We have lost a champion of the hobby and hope his memory will be a blessing to his friends, family, and the entire TTRPG community.

If you’ve read an article about RTG or our games in the past few years, chances are it was written by Rob Wieland, one of the power houses of TTRPG journalism.

Delve into the secret world of the Shadow Scar Agency as a Ninjutsu agent waging war against the monstrous Japanese Yokai!

The Shadow Scar crowdfund from
@rtalsoriangames.bsky.social is now live! 👹

An animated image of a warrior being held aloft by their throat. What's lifting them up appears to be a demonic hand with long red fingers. We can also get a glimpse of tentacle-like appendages coming from the demonic figure. A Shadow Scar Core Rulebook is obscuring most of the evil character. In the background someone looks on from an ornate throne. As if they are a king or an emporer. The tagline, "The yokai slaying TTRPG." is front and center in the image.

Daitengu Sankibo had her hand in founding the Hibana, her focus being finding more experienced practitioners to refine a smaller but unparalleled clan.
