We’re officially in the final 7 days of Little Wolves’ crowdfunding campaign! If you haven’t backed the project already, now’s the time to help make our realm of folk & fae a reality~

Beyond thrilled that we reached our first stretch goal - we can pay our artists more for more art!!! Thank you!!! We're also super duper close to getting a second free sticker with everyone's physical rewards, just need about 6 more backers. I KNOW YALL WANT A CUTE HULLABALLOO STICKY, CAUSE I SURE DO. <3



The goblins of The Enchanted Forest are short beings with bat-like faces. They have big eyes, bigger ears, and even bigger smiles. They enjoy tending their crops, hoarding vegetables, and collecting stories.

Goblins in Candlewick will often train horse-sized Jackalopes to be helpers around the farm, and find them to be loyal companions.

Wanna share a story with a delightful goblin, or help them tend their farm?

Jam's been hard at work creating art for the pages of Little Wolves, especially all the creatures & denizens of the realm. Today, we'd like you to meet a big rude bird: the gravefowl!

A large, hulking black heron. Its legs are as thick as a branch, and its beak as sharp as a scythe. Highly territorial, they litter their nests with decaying logs, rotting fruit, and other decomposing matter to create a foul odor that attracts mates.

A digital drawing of a gravefowl by Jam. The bird is similar to a heron in shape, and has dark grey feathers and leg. The gravefowl’s face and beak are a boney white, resembling a bird skull. In its beak is a mass of decomposing matter, and around its feet are disturbed tombstones and dug-up graves.

While most Gravefowl are shy and reclusive outside of their territory, the older, more brazen birds will travel far to raid crops and attack livestock for nest material. The worst of them will ravage graveyards.

One of our goals with Little Wolves is to make sure the system is approachable while still having depth, so we decided to take a spin on one of our favorites: the classic d6 dice pool!

as with everything we do, we aim to make sure core themes are reflected in play. To land this we made the target flexible and dependent on what Element you’re channeling during a task.

The element in question is determined by how you’re doing something; what the vibe is, so to speak. Each element has different emotional/approach touchstones, and the one that aligns most with your action is the one you’re aiming for.

Passionate or invigorated? That might be fire!

Charismatic or curious? Sounds like Water to me!

Speaking of elements, each court has strengths & weaknesses with a different combination of elements. The Pumpkin Court, for example, is strong in Fire but weak in Water. This means they gain an extra die when approaching something with a Fire affinity, but they lose one when they’re embodying Water.

This, combined with werewolves’ spellsongs and mortal powers, creates a dynamic but simple resolution system with a lot of flexibility (and sometimes mischievousness!) that leans into the whimsy and wonder we’re aiming for in Little Wolves.
