Divination RPG @divinationrpg.com · 08/02/2024We've been talking about the seven Roads an Artist might find themself walking—but is it possible to wield the Art and NOT walk a Road? Matthew tells us that it is, and what kind of place such an Artist has in Esoteric society, today on the Developer's Blog. divinationrpg.com/itinerant-ar...divinationrpg.comItinerant ArtistsArtists change callings all the time, I know from experience.
