Going to be doing some flying tomorrow morning, so I'd like to bring back those airport sketches I was doing a while back. Followers, drop your characters in the replies, and I might do a quick drawing of them while I travel! (Assuming I don't end up napping, that is... this flight is EARLY)

Pathfinder game finally got off the ground, so here's the art for my character. Ōto is a researcher that specializes in investigating mysterious and dangerous phenomena. They often play into their frightening appearance to ward off unwanted trouble. Intimidating, adventuring, and casual fits.
A bipedal creature wearing a tattered cloak with thick fur about the shoulders stands menacingly at the edge of the shadows.  Surrounding them are tiny bits of floating metal, and three masses of metal twisting and coalescing into spikes.  Their face resembles a mask with 8 red eyes along it.  Their mouth is open, revealing sharp fangs, and their hands and feet are visible, ending in large claws.The same creature stands without the cloak and the metal, looking less threatening.  A coarse mane of hair with small red eyespots dotted throughout sprouts from the back of their head and neck.  They wear a bulky red scarf and a cropped leather jacket with the sleeves rolled up.  A yellow cloth sash around their waist holds up a purple cloth skirt that wraps around their upper legs.  They carry a leather satchel and a bedroll over one shoulder, and their forearms and ankles are wrapped in red cloth.The same creature in a more casual fit.  The jacket, scarf and gear are removed, leaving them in just the purple cloth skirt, yellow sash around their waist, and a simple purple cloth wrap around their torso.

Finished Resident Evil Requiem. Solid game, I had a fun time with it. May or may not have chosen the bad ending first and had to go back. I liked Grace as a new protagonist, and I think it did a good job of balancing her sections with Leon's, giving a fun balance of RE7 and RE4 playstyles.

I'm finding that I really like the Plot Die mechanic in this system. It helps give certain rolls more weight, can give players a pleasant surprise of unexpected agency in the results of their actions, and provides a good prompt for more interesting results of a roll. (Stormlight Handbook pg. 8-9)
A screenshot from the Cosmere RPG Stormlight Handbook, detailing a feature of the system known as the Plot Die.  In short, the mechanic has players roll a d6 to determine whether a D20 test results in additional opportunities or complications, regardless of the success or failure of the roll.Additional elaboration on the Plot Die system describing ways players can use Opportunities and GMs can use Complications.
