My favorite line I saw in a historical illustration book was simply, "Where there were knights, there were guns." Followed by an illustration of one of these fuckers busting through a wall dual welding pistols

A sick drawing of 17th(?) century knights one is on horseback welding a wheellock

Gee thanks! I also have a d100 table of possible WIZARD PROBLEMS on my patreon that looks like a collection of tabloid headlines. I think I'm going to do more with an autumn theme too, the one posted is mostly winter

A Victorian esque style block of text that shows headlines ranging from DEARVEN MINING COMPANY UNEARTH ANCIENT MUMMIFIED CONFECTIONERY to WINTER FROGS ENGAGE IN MASS TO-THE-DEATH DUELS

Hello #wipwednesday folks! I'm currently working on a zine that's a visual roll table for 100 encounters that either players or game masters can interpret based on vibes. Getting close to finishing it as I'm illustrating all 100 little scenes which range from weird, to horror, to fantasy.

Photo of black and white illustrations sectioned out like a comic. Each box depicting things like; an entity flying over tree canopies, a massive dead tree, a being lurking in the distance, and more

If you're gonna go up against the high strangeness and weirdness of a pseudoscape, you gotta dress the part. #ttrpg #wip

A screen shot of looks from a ttrpg I am developing

Anomalnaught Looks

Travelling in a pseudoscape is weird and requires unconventional things that make you visible to others in the party. It is proven that the more perceptible you are in a pseudoscape the higher the chance there is of returning home safely

Strings of battery operated string lights around your person, a jacket dipped in glow in the dark paint, bands of high vis reflective material, smattering of neon colored clothes

A chest rig of multiple camera mounts for sports recorders and smartphones, a bandolier of necklaces and charms from various denominations, a loud antique or vintage dramatic coat, patches held on with safety pins of sigils and powerful symbols

A modified motorcycle or safety helmet with light up outlines, homemade big full head enclosing paper mache mask, obnoxiously big brimmed hat, mascot or fursuit head

You pass the treeline and are welcomed to a sudden glade. The sky, already in the throws of the darkening blues past twilight, is speckled with the bright orange sparks of a fire. A figure in repose stares intently at a fragment of antiquity, a silent pylon from a bygone era... #ttrpg

BW ink illustration of a glade in the middle of a forest, a figure sits in front of a fire, towering above them is a single pillar, or column, or fragment of architecture from a bygone era.
