When was the first time you used the internet and what was the first thing you searched from it? Mine was 1996 and I clearly remember using the search word "Runequest". I think I found a couple of pages and a couple of personal character portraits. Not much else. #runequest

Here you can see a better picture of the Orlanthi Wedding vows. #runequest #glorantha

That's one of my favourite pictures I have made for RuneQuest, an Orlanthi wedding ceremony. I am happy to see that it resonates with players. I like to mix mundane to fantasy.

Finally my inspiration paperback wall is full 3x3. This is what makes my heart pump faster.

Credo creator Chris Gidlow was excited to see the fully operational prototype that editor Susan brought to Chaosium Con UK 🇬🇧 (that's the original 1992 edition on the table beside it).

I you want to play a Viking and need a great book for it, well, I'll have a good news for you.

Bought something to read.

Must admit the suits looked better then. And today these would be made by AI, looking even sloppier than than in real life. Yeah, bring back the 90s please.

I found this old sketch. It took me a while to remember why I made it. I think I painted it around 2000 to celebrate the transition from the Year of the Rabbit to the Year of the Dragon with a Japanese friend. It still looks pretty funny, I think. I wish I had a photo of the finished painting.

Yuuuuuup. Ideas have never been the issue. The key is picking which ones are worth writing about, and which are worth writing will change with the specific author. I wrote a whole fucking novel about the moon turning to cheese. I assure you, ideas are the easy part. Execution is what matters.

RPG artists love to design costumes for characters. The designs are full of detailed trinkets, buckles, straps, patters and all kind of ornamented stuff. All good and nice. Except when you have to redraw that character multiple times for various pieces. You soon start to simplify that shit fast.

Today, May 20th, is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. A fitting date to announce the long awaited return of a classic Chaosium game: Credo, the game of duelling dogmas!

Run a session of Pendragon today. Finally we get to the Sword Campaign from the Starter Set. The Player Knight happened to among the few to witness when Arthur drew the sword from the stone! How lucky! I just love the game. Such a pleasure to both run and play. Brilliant system.

Hey! This looks like a neat tool to vet out AI. Ai Imaginery Labeler.

It is true.
