Progress on ShadowTech is coming along nicely. About 20 pages in to the QS zine. Did my first table test today in Table Top Simulator. I'm liking where things are headed and made some good improvements based upon the data. =D

Have had an itch. io account for a good while, but finally got the storefront up and running so I can use it as a fulfillment option for the KS! Still, 95% of my backers chose DriveThruRPG, but I'm here to serve as many constituencies as possible! 💪🍻

All of the Druid Magic Illustrations I made for @grimgames.bsky.social Shadowdark Zine called Servants of the Dragon Lord. Super fun project, I put way more focus on the magic effects than I usually do and it’s always nice to step out of your comfort zone! My favorite is magical mishap explosion

An illustration of a magical mishap which caused an explosion and pulverized three goblins and one companion

An illustration of a Druid calling a lightning to fight off two orcs

An illustration of a red dragon that attacks a Druid which defends herself with a magic shield in green

An illustration of a Druid shape shifting into a huge serpent to take revenge on some unicorn hunting bandits

A colored illustration of a magical explosion of a caster. A bunch of goblins and a fellow adventurer get atomized by the sheer force of uncontrolled magic.
