Cosmic Trash Island

In 2021 I started running a homebrew setting for Troika! called the Junksphere with no intention of ever trying to publish it. It's a small planetoid formed of space junk with a core made up of wrecked golden barges (spaceships to those unfamiliar with Troika!). Everything and everyone that ends up there is broken, unwanted and discarded.

In 2022 I realized I needed to get it out there but I had misplaced my campaign notebook in a move and couldn't find it.

In 2024 I gave up on waiting for it to turn up and rewrote it from memory. My friend Robin, who played in most of the sessions I ran at that point, showed me a zine he'd written and illustrated (this one) and I realized he'd be great at drawing piles of random garbage, so I hit him up for the art.

In 2025 I finally got around to setting up an itch storefront so I can sell the damn thing. I'm working on getting it printed too, but I wanted to get the pdf out there right away.
