Patreon
Tangent Artists started out back in 2006 as a webcomic company that updated once a week. Since then they’ve grown into a fantasy genre powerhouse with comics, game aids, and books. Creators of “The Handbook for Saucy Bards” and other Guild Guides, they’re also known for their comics, Skeleton Crew (a macabre comedy) and CRIT! (swords sorcery & sarcasm). They are now branching out into games and novels. What will Tangent Artists cook up next? It depends on how many hours of sleep they can replace with tea and coffee.
Patron benefits include sneak peeks, coloring pages, discounts at our stores, access to polls and videos, invitations to live streaming events, Discord titles, and more!
