This project is made possible by the contributions of 60+ artists from around the world. Each of the artists have selected a year of focus, illustrating, printing, and creating limited edition zines based on an important topic from that year.

Some of the zine subjects include hairstyles from the 80s, teenager angst, the Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, personal anthologies, roaming the streets of New York City, romance stories, and more. Each zine is clever, humorous, and insightful look into the recent history and our experiences of the world.

Rolemodels: The Battle For Vyk'Tornaahl Sneak Peek!

We recorded this video to give you an idea of what to expect from The Battle For Vyk'Tornaahl card deck now that the official release is sooooo close! Of course the deck comes with 99 cards featuring the amazing Rolemodels artwork (plus one rules reference card), but did you know it also comes with a 100-page guidebook? Or that it comes with a 20-sided dice to play the game with? Or a box? You might have guessed the box.


Also, be sure to keep you eyes peeled for The Battle For Vyk'Tornaahl how-to videos coming soon. We'll have an overview as well as some in-depth stuff, so you can get an idea of how the game works!

And of course, you can purchase a deck for yourself, or any of the artwork from the show, on our online store!
