If anyone is planning some Shadowdark I've decided my little dungeon isn't making me rich so I've made it PWYW because I'd rather have it in people's hands than get a few dollars every couple of months. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

A millennium ago, the city of Lydiphon was dragged underground by its Sorcerer King in a desperate attempt to avert disaster. The ritual failed. The city lies shattered in a network of volcanic caves,...

When I pitched it to my players I told them it was a 50 milliVul dungeon since the Vul is the SI unit for dungeon size. Though I guess an American would call it a 7/8 Thracia.

Apparently the new Ocarina of Time looks "bad" and people are mad. I'm glad I live in the real world not insane Twitterland and have just been excitedly whistling the Zelda theme since I got teary eyed listening to the orchestral intro. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0WX...

I wish this was a thing. I do get that once projects are delayed providing updates becomes fraught because you get shit for being late, but I bet you would get a lot less shit if you didn't keep people in the dark for 6 months

Surely a remake too. Has no one made a film adaptation before?

A dragon! Trying out markers to see how they compared to watercolour for this style. I don't like them as much but they are easier for the linework afterwards

There was no illustration for an NPC my players just ran into so I made my own. The Knight of Many Mice from @riseupcomus.bsky.social excellent The Castle Automatic
A suit of armour with whiskers visible from the visor and a tail from the elbow joint. In watercolour, ink and coloured pencil. His shield shows cheese, an arrowed heart and a book.

the Great Goblin of the Misty Mountains -{ #art | #illustration | #fantasy }-
A tremendous goblin with a huge head, big mouth, pointy nose and big pointy ears, scraggly beard and mane-like hair. He's wearing rusty iron armor with chains and on top of his head, a rusty iron crown. He's sitting on a large flat stone in a cavernous environment with torches and skulls. He's from the Misty Mountains, a location from J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit".

Look, it's awesome. Just go buy it. Hell, even if you hate dungeons just go buy it to reward Josh for leaving money on the table by not doing a crowdfunding campaign that is just preorders in a false nose and glasses style disguise. Also you get the amazing map. Just go buy it.

I think there is both a point about nostalgia being inaccurate but also there have been decades where things generally were better. The 20s, the 60s the 90s. Though if you go look at concrete numbers like infant mortality we have it better now than ever, even if we can't put down our phones

I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art: “Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

It's my birthday today! 🎉 I've been enjoying black/gold art lately. A little share today of some of them would be cool. c:
A black and gold illustration of a girl with golden wings enveloped by a dark wolf/raven-like creature. She looks up toward the sky warmly as the creature bares his teeth, her hands rest tenderly in his claws. Ravens swarm about them with a singular white raven flying up above them and golden flames below them. The background is a semi-circle border of golden roses, with an inner border of moons and stars. A moon enveloping a sun is behind them. The border text reads," It's written in the stars. Everything must come to an end."

 The characters are my own, Cupiovera and Dove.A black and gold colored illustration of two women. One is dressed in white with dark scales and gold horns, while the other has alternating black and white scales and horns. The second woman has her claws under the other woman's chin, tilting her face in an incipient kiss. The background has moons, stars, an ocean wave, a sun, and peony flowers. There is a curtain in one corner of the frame, pulled back around them.A black and gold illustration of a monstrous women in a white robe with gold jewelry and many wings. One half of her body is covered in eyes, while the other half is thick scales. One half of the background is white with a dark moon and the other half is black with rays of light. There is Enochian alphabet along the border and jewelry. The banner at the bottom reads, "Be Not Afraid."A black and gold illustration of a butch knight, in golden scale armor covered in wing and star motifs, holding a black sword with a glowing hilt. She is surrounded by a border of sunflowers, moons, wings, and stars. The banner flowing behind her reads, "Knight of Stars."

For me it's the contrast between the male and female character art. I'm cool with nudity, tittilation and bikini clad warriors, Boris Vallejo is OK by me because everyone is half-naked. Deathbringer gives me the ick because the women are in bikinis and the men are in sensible adventuring gear.
