The Story Begins With A DOUBLE-SIZE Update!

The Story Begins (with a DOUBLE-SIZE Update!)
Nate's back where he started and he's determined to do things the right way this time, but Rose is about to complicate things.
So, What Did I Mean By "Reboot"?
A surprising number of people were not clear on what I meant when I said "Reboot", but I do understand. I've heard some creators use the word "reboot" to indicate they are changing their style or presentation, or even just restarting after a hiatus. That's not really the case here, as you can probably tell by this first update!
In short, we're starting all over again from the beginning. We'll have familiar characters but in a rebooted timeline with new stories and new situations. A few plot elements from the old comic will be revisited here and there, but the vast majority of this will be new territory.
It's kind of perfect for a story about going back to where you came from to do it all over again!

I'm aligning the streams! There are SIX great ways to get TG.

(well, Facebook is less than great, but people are still there, so...)
From now on I plan to include the same free Extras on all of these platforms. The important thing is that you get to read the comic (and join the Patreon if you're able) so I'm going to do my best to facilitate that.
I've been working on the new Treading Ground for a LONG time, and it's amazing to finally be able to launch it.
You're definitely going to want to see what happens. See you next Thursday for more!
