A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all.

Leaning against the rightmost mountains is a sneering, princely toff in a red frock coat, holding a cane that has penetrated the decapitated skull and lodged in the brains.

@doctorow.pluralistic.net is one of the main reasons I’ve stayed on BlueSky. Great writing (obviously) and great media… especially the 80’s 90’s D&D art. Cory is the man.
