Split icon of Lui showing his forms. I wasn't planning to make one of him because eh- so many forms but I still ended up drawing it. Really happy with the outcome as well.

Surprising what you can dig out of books if you read long enough, isn't it?
—Robert Jordan, The Shadow Rising
" I suppose I did love you once, too far back in time in to even matter now, if not for some deflected queens." She allowed at last, letting her shoulders drop in a shrugging motion as if was no more than mere weather talk.
"You-"
" Deflected?" Iris squinted her eyes behind the glasses.
"Queen! One Queen! The other is a queen consort! " the 'king' took no time to point out. "And how does this matter in searching for them anyway. He turned to the tracker observing them with her lips pursed.
"Seriously?! You? the ice queen? You loved me?!! Like Love love" The other girl got in before she was interrupted by,
"Are we quite sure deflected is the right word right now?"
"And why the fuck does their sappy saphic ballad matter here?"
The tracker, who had asked the question, was still watching with serious looking eyes, " Perhaps, it doesn't. But," Her face broke into a huge grin then, eyes bright now and put up her finger. "These two would be soo cute together, even their names go together, Elli and Aine, Elliaine. Ah, You can name your child that!" She was almost squealing in delight at the prospect when she finished.
"They can't have a child, they are both girls." The king—oh, my mistake forgive me, the 'king' being his usual infuriating self did not disappoint.
"oh, sod off. " This was the tracker, Lelia.
"Elliaine, is my name."
" Well, you should shouldn't be using Elli then, it literally means Old, I didn't say anything cause I thought it'd be rude. And work on your grammar, deflected does not fit—."
"Shut up, Iris, no one cares." The 'King', whose name I forgot because my constant need to mock his title, snapped, " And You!" He turned to Leila, " Do your fucking job and find the goddamn Queens, Queen! One Queen!."
" Oh, no no." She replied, making sure to dramatize her every movement, "I can't do that, because you see, I'm just here to stall you till they got far enough away."
A tence silence hung unbroken in the air. Well, unbroken until someone proclaimed, "Defected! The word is defected!" And the 'king' shouted for the guards.
"Throw her in the dungeons!" He roared to the bowing guards.
They stood there for a moment, unable to decide if he had the authority to imprison the queen's dear friend.
He fumed even redder {Purple more like if we being honest} a feat previously thought impossible, "By king Ophion's orders!" Ah, Ophion, that was his name.
He was far too busy angrily whispering with Elli, his least detested member of his and the queen's council, to see Leila smile as she was led down.
Two freed, one to go.
And she was already on the way to her.

Oh, I love these light patterns near the windows!
Nice view on White-Gold Tower through the forest
Gorgeous Eternal Strands it’s a bright beautiful Light Fantasy RPG with magic manipulations, good enough lore, cozy but epic atmosphere. One of a games this year that I'll remember.
Look at this masterpiece 🥰 This is an intro for a homebrew D&D campaign of Vecherniye Kosti (Night Dice), guys from Ukraine 🇺🇦.
They are high-skilled players and GMs. They've been developing their channel for 5 years, they built their own studio for streams and other shows with their fans' support. But since the war started they had to stop their project. They are doing charity now to support Ukraine army.
I love them really much, they inspired me into playing tabletop RPGs and I think there are a hundred more people beside me.
Wish them peace and love, may the Sun save them 🥺💓💟☀️
Journey to the Outside
And the angel of the sun did fall. She fell, down, down, from the sky, and into the emptiness beyond the world, beyond the things that were good and real, out where only false and nonexistent things might live.
And then they knew what it was to know darkness, to know meaninglessness, to lose all hope. The world, the whole and breadth of it, knew what it was like to be without a sun.
But at the same time...
...and, perhaps, this was most surprising of all...
At the same time and for the first time, the emptiness beyond knew what it was to have a sun.
And the whole of it changed.
--- Journey to the Outside, a fan campaign for Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine
So, I've been working, off-and-on, for a while on an idea I've had to do a Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine Epic Adventure campaign in the style of Journey to the West. I'm almost ready to get started running it, so I thought I'd share the stuff I've got so far. Instead of actually creating the mechanics for the characters, I'm giving descriptions and allowing the players to choose their Arcs on their own. I'll probably write up, at least, the starting Quests for each character, eventually, but I haven't gotten there yet. So far it's mostly just a list of characters and a bit of description for each one, and their variants.
Introduction
Jade Irinka is dead. The sun has fallen into the Outside and the world is reeling under a strange and alien sky. Each day a ball of blazing gas rises and sets, casting shadows and helping the plants to grow. But it is not the sun - and in their bones, the people of Town know it.
It is a mournful thing to live in a fallen world.
But there is hope. Or, rather, there is a chance for hope. Hope exists, but someone has to venture out into the Outside and get it. Someone has to go on a journey to save the world. And not just anybody: gods and monsters and villains… and also just some guy.
It sounds like it will be an Epic Adventure, doesn’t it?
