Could someone point me in the right direction on where I could find the supplies to load some TSS turkey loads? Any advice on loading these shells would be greatly appreciated also. I'd be loading them for a 20 gauge and possibly a 12.

My advise would be to get a real shotgun shell loading press. A Mec 600 Jr. would be good as anything.
You can get one for $85 off Ebay. One on there right now in 20ga.
I don't know how all this roll crimp and shot card business ever got started with the turkey hunter crowd... Every time I see a post about this stuff and someone showing off their "Roll Crimp" I want to ask them WTH they are doing. They did away with that 40 years ago and told everyone then that the cards blew holes in the patterns. Maybe they did or maybe they didn't. Doesn't matter. Why you going to fiddle with all that stuff in the first place. Doesn't make sense.
Do it right. Get a press. You'll run circles around someone using a drill and a bunch of hand dies.

Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes
On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here.

Roll crimping is easy. It also won't come apart on you and leak like I have seen some star crimps do. Your loading tss, not 200 rounds to shoot trap.

I tend to agree in the roll crimping deal. I bought a 12 gauge Lee load all for $30. Beautiful crimps. I tried the roll crimps but I didn't trust them in wet weather.
I put a tight seal in my shells and they don't leak

N2Turkeys... You can load whatever. Lead, Steel, TSS, Gravel, Dirt
There is no magic to a press. You have to get the components right, i.e. shell, wad, height etc. then you can load a season's worth of shells for everyone on the turkey board in an afternoon.
What do you want? 12 ga., 20, etc. I'll get some TSS. Start a thread and show you how to do it on a shotgun loader.

You obviously haven't loaded TSS

Ok. Explain how loading TSS on a press is different.
In Detail.

You can't drop the shot charge, you have to weigh it by scales

You could drop the shot charge if you wanted but you still have to add the felt, cork, and Mylar wrap by hand. No point in using a press just to crimp it.
