Some initial designs for a sci-fantasy I'm working on.
After Ket is separated from her family's trade caravan she finds she is being followed by a strange dragon. Together they must find their way to the city her family is heading to, but does this dragon have more to it than meets the eye?

Is there a word for the glee that comes from saying something devious and evil to your friends and causing them psychological damage?

We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out.
All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence:

Realising after some meds adjustments that I have been pretty badly depressed for the last few years and didn't seek help because I just chalked it up to autistic burnout and The State Of The World... Both of which ARE true but I don't recommend trying to raw dog those things.
