Gator Rancher

A 12-page A5 zine about Holewart, a tiny town in the butthole of the bayou, and the giant mutant gator that's wrecking it.
Written in May 2025 for the MEATHEADS JAM Pt.II.

A one-toilet town with big dreams.
A scrap of hope afloat in a sewer.

Muskrat Charlie sent for help and you came. Gator rancher Willy da Whale ain't been seen in days. Strange noises were heard from the ranch, but nobody can figure out how to get inside. The town needs answers ASAP, and they’ve promised as a reward, the ancient fabled twinblades of the ancient manatee empire - the Sickassickles.

And guess what?

This isn't playtested at all. Let's change that... together.
