Pft, fine guess I won’t be ordering out this week. Found a rare print copy of Strongholds & Followers, the 5e book that inspired my large scale warfare campaign.

Strongholds & Followers by MCDM, a timeless looking piece of TTRPG art involving a knight staring up at a mighty castle, one he may be the owner of.

Been wide awake since about 4.30 this morning which is a bit of a pain. However, at least I was able to make some use of the extra 2 hours. (Wrote over 2000 words for a project)

Cropped screenshot of the book writing program Scrivener, with a document thats currently 6818 words long, and it shows I just wrote 2288 words out of a 500 word goal.

Once the videos are edited & ready to be posted on YouTube, by that point my 3 year Cthulhu game should be ended. So, while I do need a break for mental health reasons, I think I will be doing another LONG form TTRPG by the end of the year, & that will be the Penrose game. (Warfare/Kingdom Builder)

Test of the large scale Warfare system I will be using in Penrose, adapted from the MCDM book Kingdoms & Warfare. The image shows a battle map with a hex grid & a variety of military units, bith Blue & Red to designate their alliance.

Screenshot of some test characters, the tokens are made using Heroforge & have a 2-d cartoon look to them.

Closeup shot of a token for a military unit. The color red designates which faction it is a part of, the shield/heraldry is to show who is commanding it, the white spears indicate the type of unit (infantry) & the green/red edges of the token designate it’s front & back, to assist with flanking rules.

Test design for an NPCs heraldry, used to showcase which character is in charge of a large number of units.

Guys… aside from the fact I don’t have the money, I need y’all to give me a DAMN good reason not to buy this Chess Set for $250

A kickass hand crafted resin chess set from the 1970s, that looks sick as fuck

Picking away at the Draw Steel Codex VTT on Steam to import the Large Scale Warfare Maps & Hex tokens I made for my Penrose Campaign. ATM a learning experience but got the Hex tokens working, but unlike Foundry cant tie the Unit information to the token, have to use 3rd party whiteboard like Miro.

Screenshot of a Large Scale hex based Warfare map, uploaded into the Draw Steel Codex. The Hex Token can be made by having no Frame & allowing for Rotation so it can be positioned exactly where it needs to be. The only issue is there doesn't seem to be a way of adding the 'Warfare' stats to the token even as a PNG attachment because the character sheets are understandably set for just 'Draw Steel' stats.

Older screenshot of the same location & characters, using the Foundry VTT. with Foundry there is a module that allows an image to appear when mousing over the character token. This image is set up to be that Units stat card.

This is a Screenshot of Miro, a Digital Whiteboard that allows image uploads & connections to them. This is a potential workaround for using the Draw Steel Codex VTT over the Foundry VTT though it requires multiple monitors which many players are likely not not have.

Despite the mild panic I'm dealing with in regards to our money situation going to spend April focusing on our free Hunter the Reckoning AP we are in the process of developing. Hopefully the episodes will start to drop in Early May. Once they land THEN will be HARD Pushing Startplaying & Kofi.

I won’t lie, losing all the work I put into the previous version of the Cities Skylines map I was making for my Kids on Bikes game has really put me down. Making anything in that game has always been a several month project & I just have no enthusiasm to do it all again from scratch right now.

Shot of a town in Montana, has some Silent Hill vibes imo.

Devillo @devillo.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

But yeah, never had a chance to actually run Kids on Bikes but I've spent a chunk of time tearing apart the 'Tropes' system in character creation & for each one figuring out places of interest in the town that are both places of Joy & Fear for that Trope XD.

Screenshot from a work document:
Character Tropes

Out of the LONG list of pre-existing Character Tropes from the 2 editions of Kids on Bikes, each one has some additional benefits and detriments in the town, complete with 2 areas of importance to them, one is a Safe Haven that is unique to them alone, the other is a place they fear to tread that is the site of past Trauma.
Tropes are supposed to be at LEAST Teen age. No Child Characters in this dark adult game. Redacted Roles are those that Children COULD take.
(Black text) Both Editions
(Purple Text) 1st Edition Exclusive
(Pink Text) 2nd Edition Exclusive (pg156)

(Black Text) 1 Blue Collar Worker - The Stripclub is a place of Joy, the Warehouse District is a place of Trauma. +2 to roll’s regarding income, -1 to dealing with more wealthy people.
(the following 3 lines are redacted)
(Purple Text) 3 - Brutish Jock - The Gym is a place of Joy, the Psychiatric office is a place of Trauma. +2 to intimidate anyone younger, -1 to rolls regarding higher education.
4 - Bully - The local Bowling Alley or Bar is their place of Joy. Their Home is a place of Trauma. +2 to hiding their fears, -1 to any rolls against an adult/bigger bully.
(Black text) 5 - Conspiracy Theorist - Their place of Joy is the Old Church, their place of Trauma is the Library (they know what it’s used for). +2 to knowledge about the towns secrets, -1 to conversations with any authority figure.
(The Following 2 lines are Redacted)
(Black Text) 7 - Laid Back Slacker -

Just an update on Projects going forward. My Hunter the Reckoning AP is picking up steam & we should begin recording in April. I'm also back on my Analog Horror Kick & returned to my Kids on Bikes idea involving a bunch of Late Teens/Young Adults involved in some Twin Peaks/Marble Hornets shit.

Devillo @devillo.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

While I am hard at work on getting the Hunter the Reckoning game off the ground, I can’t help but slowly start to pick away at another idea in the shared setting, but with a different system. Nothing solid yet but I think Deviant & Promethean could be an interesting combo!

Been working on tweaking the overlay layout for the Hunter the Reckoning AP I am working on, currently expanded the play view area, added space for 5 consecutive PCs & gave the backdrop & other elements a bit of polish.

Screenshot of a Digital Desktop featuring the Windy Chronicle, a WIP Hunter the Reckoning Actual Play. The Logos for the Show (The Windy Chronicle), the Game system being used (Hunter the Reckoning), & the license its being released under (The Dark Pack) are all displayed on the left, alongside a VHS Webcam of the Storyteller. To the right is the main Game screen, along with 5 places for Player Characters. The entire visual has a VHS/90's Animation quality to it. No AI at all was used in any of this work.

For those curious, I organize the timeline & various clues & NPCs they meet using Miro, as a big digital Murder Board. Recently while the main cast have gone on a Time condensed Dreamlands adventure (black dot) , the B Team (green dot) have been hunting the mysterious Witch Cult of Arkham.

Screenshot of the Timeline from my ongoing Call of Cthulhu sandbox game, called Nightmares of Arkham. In short it shows the multiple colored tags on the bottom representing the actions of the main cast in the material world, before it branches off into a pink split which signifies their time spent in the Dreamlands. The green tabs & dot represent the B team of characters, who have had their own adventure dealing with a Witch Cult involved int he murder of one of their allies.

Devillo @devillo.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

They are reprinting Chronicle of the Black Labyrinth? Kinda curious what changes, additions & removals they are making for the 2026 version considering how utterly dark, bleak & twisted some of the tales in this book are. (Its an in universe look at human corruption set in the World of Darkness fyi)

Book cover for Chronicles of the Black Labyrinth, an in universe book from the World of Darkness. The cover is a black & red marbled background with white 'blair witch' style text & an occult spiral diagram, signifying the Black Spiral of the Wyrm, the great corrupting force of entropy that operates within the World fo Darkness.

VERY barebones in terms of functionality, plus the positioning of some of the assets needs some finessing, but got OBS primed & ready for more specific character content. *rubs hands* Very excited XD.

In this test layout I had a mild 3-D effect to the logos, on top of the Posturized look. Probably will remove that from the final version as it looks a little too lopsided. As for the name plates, they all have editable text, the intention being the PCs will have PNGs of their characters behind them that react to their audio. Failing that we may have some Wavform graphics that perform the same function.

Currently working on the various background scenes I need to set up for the WoD20 game I'm setting up. To keep things organized I decided to use a mind-map to figure out how many were needed, & color coded them based on stage of production. Yes I'm a nerd, but holy fuck I have a lot to do XD.

Now that most of the systems & abilities are programmed into the VTT, I'm spending my December picking away at prepping environments & potential video layouts/asset ideas for the World of Darkness 20th/Hunter the Reckoning (1999) project I have planned for the new year. VERY Excited!

Test layout for a Stream/video overlay showing the name of the show (The Windy Chronicle) the name of the game being played (Hunter the Reckoning) the dice window, the main screen of the Virtual Tabletop, & art of the player characters made using Heroforge. Also included are player names, 'classes' & waveforms to indicate who is speaking.

Test Layout for an upcoming webshow called The Windy Chronicle. This shows up to 5 webcams, including the Storyteller. Each webcam shows the name of the player, pronouns, character class symbol, and character art in the right corner.

Potential layout for an upcoming webshow. This version includes all webcams for the players & storyteller instead of character art. It is lacking the chat window to show dice rolling, but retains the VTT screen for scene setting.

I may have something you’d be interested in. TLDR it would be an Unpaid prerecorded AP using V20/Revised WoD rules set in the modern era with V5 lore, a 1999 Hunter the Reckoning game with an 80s VHS Horror influence & a ton of other splat crossover potential.

After being reminded it existed I just went back into my old Foundry setup for the World of Warcraft 5e game I ran back in 2023 & decided to test a few things to see if it still ran ok. After a few updates & tweaks Id say I could run another Azeroth based game one day, if folk were interested.

Ok, while originally I was CRUSHED by the Tabletop Simulator version of Daggerheart being wrecked due to the International firewall BS ruining all the various back-end systems, I can honestly say the Foundry VTT version has seriously stepped up!

For context, I NEVER get to play games at launch. Last time I did that was Halo ODST at Midnight, & that was a LONG ASS Time ago. Actually, I'm a Liar, I preordered Dishonored 2 but mainly just for the Mask. Still not gotten around to playing it yet (I'm a mess I know).

Was looking over my old art gallery from YEARS ago & stumbled across this pencil drawing on Coffee Washed pages from 2005. Literally 20 years old. Woof. This was a study involving a ton of different inspirations I had back when I was a kid, different styles etc, all drawn from observation.

Took the WoD Vampire test & after some honest answers I have embraced (har) the fact I'm a Toreador at heart. So in between things I sketched out a loose concept inspired by the 'Rebel' from their Revised Clanbook. This is the WIP concept both as they present themselves & as they truly are inside

Rough Design of my Toreador Vampire based on myself, a Broken shell of a man who lost everything because of their obsession with their work, standing back to back with the fake persona they adopt when they are out & about, heavily intended as a mockery of the Sire they Diablerized.
