My first Mordheim warband.

Hi #RPG #OSR friends - I am available for cartography/illustration projects in Late May/June. If you're looking for a map for your adventure module, or something for your home game, feel free to hit me up and we can work on something really awesome. If interested email me at [email protected]!

Printed and painted this fella. What a goober

I’m giving up on the oil painting experiments for now. This one was just acrylic and it turned out way better than any I used oil on. The sword was my first time trying a non metallic metal effect.

Why do Japanese fantasy dungeons the same...but kobolds look like dogs?? How come elves are blonde over there too?? Come with us on this dive into the history of how fantasy got started as a genre in Japan! #ttrpg #d&d (I swear I will be making videos about other countries soon)

Made some fungi following a tutorial from Gardens of Hecate! gardensofhecate.com/blog/miniatu...

Is there no video game equivalent to the OSR blogosphere? I’m genuinely surprised I wasn’t able to find a single obsessively detailed article comparing and contrasting the way armor works in multiple major JRPG series. I thought that would be page one.

Feeling inspired by Gardens of Hecate’s Nekroplanet!

I have three types of TTRPG Characters: - Jessie - James - Meowth

Dragon Quest

If ANYONE has any kind of scans of Kenichi Sakemi and Katsuya Kondō's manga "D'arc ジャンヌ・ダルク伝" from Animage magazine I will GREATLY appreciate you sharing it and will share a small secret project with you in return!

MS Paint is great.

Improvised painting handles.

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

I think this is the paint scheme I’ll go with for the warband. Acrylic paint base coat, oil wash, acrylic highlights.

A gift (or reading) combo suggestion by Froggo. I think she right, these two books work well together to spark the imagination. 💭

Test model for a Mordheim warband. Still trying to figure out how to do oil paint highlights—I overdid it on the face.

To post on my patreon later: “But I thought you were a nice flail..”

I’m paying the price for not priming my minis in big batches—it’s been too humid to use spray cans for a week now. Maybe time to start using an airbrush.

4e spotted in the wild! In a leather working booth at the medieval fair.

I feel it in my bones that every question I have after watching The Duskbloods trailer will be answered if I can just figure out which 80s seinen manga was getting passed around the FromSoft offices.

I have written 1 (one) Utopia in my time as a writer/game-designer, & it was directly influenced by my very favorite fossil. A Thrinaxodon (a weasel-ish mammal ancestor) & Broomistega (amphibian) were found fossilized together in the Thrinaxodon's burrow. Obviously they were besties... 🧵

The pre-launch for DURF Expanded is up on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...

What the hell, I should do a deep dive on each of the zines I've published. My first baby was Pax Reptiliana: the cyberpuk future were were promised/threatened with, sans any of the cool shit. 🧵

This one was pretty fun to edit. #ttrpg #dnd #osr

I've released the Outdoor Survival Scaffolder - a tool that automatically generates lairs, monsters and treasure based off the terrain of the classic OD&D wilderness map! It's still WIP, but has been an enormous undertaking so far - I hope it's of use! chaoclypse.itch.io/outdoor-surv...

Beast-King Billzebub, the AD&D 2e character I've been playing for the last year and a half just hit 10th level and decided to settled down. I made a portrait to commemorate his retirement.

The last good institution in London is under threat of closure (again) because landlords are bottomless pits of avarice and spite. Help stop them by signing this petition. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Easy tokens for your #ttrpg games.

If you're at MAGFest, stop on by the Indiepocalypse booth (72?, it's along the wall) in the marketplace and get yourself some great indie games in a cool DIY physical format!

How I like to make character tokens for my #ttrpg / #dnd games.

.dungeon is a fantasy rpg set in a dying mmo, where you get to explore the polygonal landscapes left behind by countless others, delve its empty dungeons, and deal with the strange social interactions of those that remain. you can back it on kickstarter today!

I made a beginner's guide to Troika!, the science-fantasy TTRPG from @melsonia.bsky.social This is my first experimental step into long form video--I hope you'll check it out. #ttrpg #osr #troika
