Not all who WANDER are lost...

WE DID IT. WANDERVERSE IS 400% FUNDED.

As soon as the funds are transferred from Kickstarter, I will begin sending out your digital copy of WANDERVERSE immediately. The physical copies are all ready to order, and I will get those out to you as quickly as the printers print and the shippers ship. 

We also hit our first STRETCH GOAL!

If you would like a copy of the sticker pack for supporting this campaign, please make sure you send me your address so I can mail those out! 

Again, THANK YOU ALL!

I want to be direct: I had no idea how this would turn out. Indie TTRPGs don’t fund themselves, and the games are about cost-friendly fun. But you all showed up anyway and supported this project. You took a brand-new system and said, yes, this is worth bringing into the world. 

From here, the work begins in full. Writing, refining, playtesting, editing, and building WANDERVERSE into the game it was meant to be. You’re not just backers—you’re the first wave of players shaping this world as it grows. Please keep in touch as you play and let me know how your gaming sessions go! 

Thank you for trusting me and giving this awesome TTRPG a chance.

Greetings Travelers,

My long rest has ended! ⏾

The forges of Common Lands fires have been reignited ❤️‍🔥

I took a year off from creative to reflect on why I design and play tabletop games. I've always been driven by wanting to give back to the community that has given me so much over the last 30 years of my life. I previously believed that if I could give back by making my own original content, that I could make games for the people who also love games, while also making a little extra pocket change on the side. Somewhere along the journey, I saw how much money comes first for so many people in this community, and it opened my eyes...I don't want to do that.

All I want to do is share my games with people who like telling stories. I want to be able to give my content to the community in the manner in which most of it was given - FREE. 

From this point forward, all digital content from The Common Lands will be available for free on my website 🧭📚. If you want to explore the world, run the adventures, read the lore, or just see what I’ve been building — it’s yours. The stories, friends, and honestly, the baked snacks, have all contributing factors to my decision, but the no-money-fun has always been the more impactful selling point for me with tabletop games. 

The first major release under this new approach is my newest campaign: The Astral Harmonic! ✨🪐

Before the end of March 2026, there will be a relaunch of the WANDERVERSE tabletop on Kickstarter with a FREE pdf option. 

For those who prefer something physical, or are just old collectors like myself, I am offering printed copies of all hardcover books priced only to cover printing, production, and shipping costs 📖.

If the stories bring you joy, that’s more than enough for me! If you decide to run the adventure, tell the tale, or see anything you like or dislike, PLEASE reach out with a line by emailing CBurns@TheCommonLands.com. I love talking tabletop, sharing ideas, stories, and meeting new people. 

Grateful to share the table with ALL of you,

C. Burns
