Spot illo for the Casting The Runes rpg, which is inspired by the writing of M. R. James. The artwork was an attempt to mimic the style of illustrations from Edwardian period.

Cover art for an RPG adventure I was writing for the White Star scifi RPG, but will probably convert to the Mothership rpg instead. General vibe was channeling 70s scifi book covers by Chris Foss, Peter Elson, etc.

Sketch of an Orc. I much prefer the pig-faced variety to the tusked, green WoW versions.

Half of my experience as a GM is running a 5e adventure every once in a while only to realize "ahhh so thaaaat's why I haven't touched this absolute brain frying machine of a system in a year, I should remember not to touch it with a 10 foot pole ever again"
But then I let people on the internet gaslite me into thinking that 5e is not THAT much harder then OSR and the cycle continues
I found one and probably only valid use of ChatGPT in TTRPGs: to translate contracts from the Breach of Contract book so I can actually print them out for my non-English speaking players
Is it ethical/cool/doing better job then an actual translator fluent in sci-fi legalese? HELL NO. Is it authentic? HELL YES! I can't see an evil corporation from the future translating it with any other method.
I'm in another room listening to my girlfriend GMing Delta Green
And I guess it's going well because her players just started making tinfoil hats 🤣
Also today on Delta Green
It was the first time when we had a handout for our Handler and not the other way round
Behold! A guide to Buenos Aires from the 90s. We gave it to a witness (who we were ordered to kill) and sent her to Argentina
I just need to share with the world how our Delta Green game ended today. Even though writing in english is like torture for my brain
So, picture this scene... In the background - a mushroom cloud over what used to be a peaceful island not far from Blue Hill Bay. Four agents clinging on to a capsized boat. Hundreds of sheets of paper litter the water. Red TOP SECRET seals, MAJIC-level clearance, precious stuff, now turning into mush. Sunset. THE END!
My gf losing her mind after seeing a yellow sign at 6AM:
Me reposting it:
Translated the infamous Cassilda's song to Russian while preparing to run Impossible Landscapes. Everyone is welcome to use my translation if you like it.
О берег бьются облака, Два солнца прячутся в волнах, И тени все длинней в Каркозе.
Созвездий черных странный свет Мерцает странным лунам вслед, Но всех страннее мрак Каркозы.
Струится с неба песнь Гиад, Лохмотья Короля шуршат, Но тишина царит в Каркозе.
Мой голос нем, слова мертвы, Невыплаканных слез следы Засохнут навсегда в Каркозе.
I dreamed that I was writing an adventure for Delta Green. Or rather, running it, improvising as I went. There was a scene where a character (a child) is sneaking around an empty school, because there is a monster on the second floor of the school. The kid doesn't know it yet, but the monster is a bunch of people stuck together in a slimy heap. He only knows about the monster because of the sounds it makes - like someone slapping a wet mop on the floor.
The school is empty because there is a September 1st assembly going on outside the school. I have no idea if they do something like this in the US, but it was ambiguous whether the adventure was taking place somewhere in the former USSR or somewhere else. It could have been any other event that required all the students to be gathered outside.
There was a clue that the history teacher was telling the kids how before WWII Germany hired people in the USSR for sabotage and they had a secret sign to identify each other - a coin. And he showed this coin. It and the monster were somehow connected. And the child was trying to decide - either to use something from the chemistry class to try to defeat the monster, or not to approach it at all, find a coin and run.
At the same time, another character, also a child, was riding a train and trying to figure out how to send her mother a text message so that she would think it was from her father, who was now on an expedition at a polar station.
Unfortunately I don't know what the context was, but in the dream I really enjoyed watching the player figure out how to do it from a child's point of view.
I made a comic, a minifigure recreation of Moss controversy by @pocketss
Finished a major Lancer commission batch a couple months ago
I just realized that most of my OCs are either strong elf women or little gay femboys and twinks.
And of course a secret third thing.
Love the concept of vampires that are just slightly older than they appear like:
"So how long have you been 19?"
"20- something years or so. Why?"
"Omg you could be like my dad or something."
"Yeah, I think we went to the same high-school."
The VTM Campaign I was part of ended, it was a journey that I will forever take in my heart.
I deeply thanks @malakaimessor For creating this wonderful adventure.
Danya was the character I played and she was so important and positive for me, I love her journey and everything about her.
So I hope you will enjoy some info about her💜
Would you like more character sheet like this for the rest of the cast?

♡Name: Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III.
Oooorrrrr you can call me Sam ♡ pronouns: he/they
♡Age: 21
♡ About me: I was spawned and have lived my whole life in Kangaroo land (Aussie) I'm currently working full time as a nurse, my interests include: D&D, videogames, anime, movies/TV, [insert various degrees of nerd shit] if you hadn't noticed already I like to think myself to be a humorous individual, If I don't tell at least one joke a day I will probably die, but that doesn't mean I can't be serious! I love getting into a role from the most lawful of paladins to the edgeist of rogues. intresting facts about me...I can whistle almost any song, I will cry, a lot when a character dies (but feel free to kill them, its just me being an emotional idiot), I was once awarded by my school "most avid reader" which didn't exist before I was awarded it and I spent the award ceremony reading a book and almost missed my name (it was six of crows, im not putting that masterpiece of book down), I let my partner practice her make-up skills on me so I may come to a session looking like priscilla Queen of the desert. I once tried writing my own book when I was in highschool but after reading the first few chapters I picked it up, found a match and burnt it to cinders.
♡Preferred Game/Role: D&d but willing to learn any and all systems
♡ Availability: Wednesday and Thursdays
♡ Timezone: AEST - Queensland
Preferred Class: Any, seriously they're all fun!
♡ Preferred Gameplay: Role-playing for the win! Just ask my Partner AKA the cop pulling me over AAKA the pizza guy with a special delivery AAAKA teacher I'm asking for extra credit from
♡ Experience: a long time ago, in a galaxy pretty close by, I found something by the name of critical roll... so yeah much like most people I stumbled on a few podcasts and YouTube clips, I watched them for about a year before dipping my toes in myself, I have at this point played for 1 year and DMed several one-shots and short campaigns.
♡ What I like about TTRPG's: Simply put I love stories! I've adored them since I was young and borrowed every book I could in the library, played videogames for hours on end (one time I played a game so long the disc overheated and snapped), movies, tv, anime, cartoons, anything that can be absorbed and enjoyed I've tried to take part in it, and I find TTRPG's are the best place to make my own story. Roleplaying in character is sooooo much fun, talking to npcs and players get me swept away in the story, plus TTRPG's are a great place to make friends and socialise.
And now, the guilt trip
Other people please help support this game, I've given it as much as I can afford and I dearly want some of the stretch goals on offer to come to fruition
Violet Core - High Speed Sapphic Mecha TTRPG
After a long time of working on the game on-and-off, it's finally crash landed on Kickstarter!
Violet Core is a sapphic focused ttrpg about sad space lesbians dueling each other and making out while stranded in space. Drawing inspiration from the absolutely wonderful visual novel Heaven Will Be Mine as well as GunBuster, Zone of the Enders and Knights of Sidonia. It focuses the dramatic tension between friends, rivals and comrades. It's a game whose beating heart is deeply lesbian in a way that is a touch tricky to put into words...its indelibly infused. It's a game preoccupied with a looming horizon of destruction and what we do in the face of calamity.
Wish me luck! And if it looks cool and/or sweet to you, please share it around! My platform is tiny and sucks unlike the game which is huge and rad.
(edit...omg the tags. I'm blown away TT u TT my heart is doing a thing)
