My office for the week as I crack down on some pre-GDC prep for @wickedcherry.bsky.social! I promise I've been actually taking time off on my vacation here. Hard to call it work when I'm blessed with such lovely places to visit family in.

I realise things have been a little quiet on the @albyonabsey.bsky.social front of late, as life has devoured us all; since I'm traveling, there'll sadly be no livestream this month. But fear not! We're still working away behind the scenes... 👀

hm....really sensing a theme with my subclasses. hands up if you're surprised

A screencap preview of a Paladin subclass for D&D 5e, called the Oath of Obsidian Immolation. Flavour text reads: "As the moon keeps the tides in ebb and flow, so do those under this Oath maintain an ever-shifting balance. Lines are drawn in the sand and erased with the next wave. A gentle swell here becomes a killing tsunami there, yet the sea itself is not a weapon, and the moon does not wield it with hostility. For life to thrive, death must also. In Uurastalt, however, the tides are not of the ocean; they are of black-smoking fire and demonic ravages."

A screencap preview of a Druid subclass for D&D 5e, called the Circle of Rejuvenating Rot. Flavour text reads: "Gardeners and gravediggers know that all things return to the earth, destined to rot and rebirth as something new and changed. The cycle of life is nothing without its eventual end; death is meaningless without the continuation of life beyond it. Druids who seek out this Circle commit to the guardianship of this border, this gently-swaying balance between the two definitive states of being. They nurture decay into compost. They prune back life too-eager. They set their roots through each aspect of the land, every layer of the soil, thin but numerous and ever-present and resilient. Like mold and carrion-creatures they take care of things others would not touch, with dedication and respect for its one-time form."

clearing out old files and came across this stunning example of my storyboard work for a project with @grimmcore.bsky.social last year. once again game devs i am available for hire if you need this kind of outstanding ability (of course you do, look at it)

image of an 8-part storyboard. It is poorly drawn in what appears to be MS Paint or similar. The artist clearly needs expert instruction in many things, but especially storyboards.

This December I'll be taking another wonderful crew of friends through an @albyonabsey.bsky.social Location! As before, we'd love YOUR help to decide whence we travel next: Hirathaya, a place of Life & Undeath in Mycelial Mists? Or Meadowmont, a Mountainous Vale Most Arcane?

"T'is of the living, and of the dead, this Hirathaya. The here & there, the lost & found, above & below.

55 miles between two Villages, each unknown to the other, kept apart by choking mycelial mists most thick, and braced by a sheer cliff-face of glistening green moss agate, copperish chalcopyrite, and cinnabar.

The dead descend H’ir’s sharp ravine, and are deeply mourned as they depart. But, hark! An arcane spark shrouds their falling wherein a new life then returns!

Downwards to the leaf-littered A’thaya below they come, to shamble, shed & shimmer on, composting gently as they go.

Their souls soon thereafter in lanterns ascend, untethered from their roaming bodies which know'st no end, to fertilise arcanely, a feast for the worms & mushrooming mould.

And so myths and superstitions bear such spores, of both the far above and low below, of a place beyond damp sodden mists e'er full of mycelial gifts - of old flesh, new ether, lantern trinkets and ripely fruit-flied prayers."

"O'er misty mountain-top peaks the Traveller has roamed, knee deep through crystalline drifts of snow.

Ever-most and high the blinding sun does not relent, nor so the biting bitter winds and threat of avalanche as, step by step, towards one final frost-crested Cairn the expectant gaze lifts, at last.

For beyond this circlet summit's pinnacled range there nestles a deep plateau; a low slung vale most arcane where blooms the vastly mysterious orchards of Meadowmont.

And, suddenly, low through the nectar mists a sight most unexpected arrives ... of honey-bees, bumbling, buzzing and busily come, each as big as a whisky barrel.

At the centre of this idyll, a lone Windmill is perched; our destination's truest treasure - for it houses the most exhaustive collection of scrolls, tablets and writings pertaining to the many creatures and beasts of this, or any, land ever compiled.

A monstrous trove like no other ... here ... in the Valley of Meadowmont."
