Next month I will launch Cairn Press.
I tried to make a publishing agreement that is fair, free, and mutually beneficial. Once the lawyer approves final contract I'll release it as CC-BY-SA, if possible. I've also written up a "plain English" version that you can read here:

Caged in a Flesh Mech is my coming out magnum opus as a baby queer & genderfluid person. I want the whole team to be diversely queer.

So, in one of the areas of Castle Nachtenthal you may encounter some living statues... When designing, my nerd mind went straight to Doctor Who (obviously) Rhen I thought, why not do biblically accurate weeping angels? Then I drew one and it was shite, so here's the final compromise I settled on:

Really enjoying sketching out monster concepts for Assault on Castle Nachtenthal... Most won't make the final game (largely due to space) but really helps me with the writing... Also the new tablet was a fantastic investment (new S Pen is a massive upgrade) 😁 #ttrpg

Imagine trying to play D&D with Trump.
You're all trying to figure out the complex lore from 20,000 emails, and he's just in the corner trying to convince the DM that his resort is a better campaign setting and that he should get "total immunity" from all future dice rolls.
