Helix Wilderness Park is this several-thousand-acre wilderness park somewhere along Northern California's Redwood Coast.

It's run by a crew of dedicated Rangers stationed at fire watch towers scattered around the park. They don't have a ton of funding, but they try really hard to roll with all of the weird stuff that happens out in the woods (some of the Rangers would argue that there is some weird stuff happening at Tower 6, but Araceli the Park Superintendent insists it's fine.)

The Helix Wilderness Park Dispatch ships monthly and includes an art print plus a collection of in-world artifacts from the park: ranger memos, observation-tower chat logs, strange photographs, stickers, and collectible species cards from the Helix catalog. Somebody at Tower 2 keeps making friendship bracelets and is leaving them at the front desk for guests to take. I've nabbed a handful of them for my first subscribers.

The first 25 will receive an exclusive Season Pass from the park, signed and numbered.

I have months of lore built out already, and the world is still unfolding for me— there's a lot I know and few things I don't know, and I'm eager to start sharing it with people.

Ready to see more?
