Been back in Edinburgh from Japan for the last week. Lucky to be able to live in two such inspiring places. Pretty certain I will never run out of TRPG and game ideas while in these surroundings. What places have inspired your games?

Solarcrawl: Let's talk art technique! One of my favorite parts of this project is getting to paint the planets. In this case, we begin by drawing each world in pencil, and then hastily washing out the important colors. 1/4
