I don’t know where else to post these so I guess I’ll start sharing some of my doodles here.
An ink drawing of a bipedal dragon against a dark forest backdrop. I’m the foreground there’s a pile of skulls and a sword on the ground.

Potential new cover for campfiremysteries.com using the awesome art from @lumaris.bsky.social .
A cover image for a table top role-playing game. Near the top, the phases of the moon are depicted in an arc. Below is a drawing of a witch in a vine-wrapped hat with a gnarled staff looking poignantly at the viewer. Below the witch's visage is a series of letters acting as a mask through which you can see glimpses of other monster art, such as a vampire's clawed hand, a shapeshifter's many faces, a sorcerer's dark master, and the glowing eyes of a cryptid. Below that, the word FIRE in capital letters.

We made a tiny art gallery for our mouse sticker. It makes me very happy.
A photo of a wall with a sticker depicting a mouse in a hole reading a book by candlelight. On the wall itself are a collection of minuscule victorian style picture frames, each with a work of art inside: a clock, a teacup, an abstract pattern, and more.

Check out the new art for the Witch in Campfire!

Art by @lumaris.bsky.social
Get Campfire at campfiremysteries.com and you'll get the version with new art once it's released :)
An image of a page from the Campfire role-playing game by Elijah Mills, available at https://campfiremysteries.com. The page outlines the lore and procedures for the Witch, a monster in the game that the players are meant to defeat or drive away to conclude the investigation. Listed are the witch's backstory, haunts (wicker hut, bloody altar, sinkhole, the hollow tree), the procedure for dealing with the witch, and some weaknesses are visible (though the entire list is cut off by the cropping): holy symbols, memories of love, laughter, and heart extraction are the visible weaknesses. At the top right of the page is a black and white drawing of a witch, clutching a gnarled wooden staff with a hat adorned by leaves and vines.

I never realized how much nicer it would be doing this sort of thing with good pens.

Oops, missed yesterday, but I did have it ready. Here's a Moon Shard. Good luck figuring out how to get to the moon. I guess it depends on the game/world.
A magical item card with a drawing of a diamond shaped tile with the phases of the moon embossed on it. The text reads: "Moon Shard. Crack it in half while whispering the hidden words of the moonfolk to become invisible when bathed in moonlight. Lasts 1 day. After you’ve used it, werewolves will seek you out for help and advice. To restore it and use it again, reunite the broken halves while on the moon."

My daughter decided she wanted to come up with one and draw it. She did the line work, I added some shading. She said it's "The Teddy Bear Of Death" but I renamed it so it would fit on the card. I feel like I can blame FNAF for this one.
A magical item card with a child's drawing of a bear. It has X's in its eyes and is holding its own stuffing. The text reads: "Mortis The Bear. Homemade teddy bear. When threatened, animates and pulls their own toxic stuffing out and throws it, poisoning the target if the stuffing touches bare flesh. Can throw 5 wads of fluff before running out. To recharge Mortis, stuff them with fluff again. Loves murder mysteries. Watches you sleep."

No rope can be trusted with these things lurking around.
A magical item card with a drawing of a snake-like coil of rope. The text reads: "Hemp Viper. Part snake, part rope. Slithers and bites when not resting in an unassuming coil. Hates sailors. If you play a somber tune on a kazoo, it will be charmed for 15 minutes and will perfectly follow verbal commands. Its venom turns victims into ropes if not cured in 5 days."

My daughter's suggestion today was "toilet paper" so I took that for a fantasy spin.
A magical item card with a drawing of a rolled up bandage, soiled with mysterious substances. The text reads: "Cursed Bandage. Stolen from a mummy. Stabilizes any wound. A vengeful mummy will endlessly pursue you until it has reclaimed its wrappings. It will always find you if you stay in one place more than a day."

My wife suggested a thimble, so I present the Rat Thimble.
A magical item card with a drawing of a thimble. The text reads: "Rat Thimble. Wear this on your pinky to become tiny as a rat. While transformed, you crave cheese and must exert your willpower to stay on task. After used once, it must be recharged by being used as a vessel for tea at a fancy tea party for dapperly dressed rodents."

I blanked on what to draw today, so here's a mushroom that can make you a fantastic dancer for 5 minutes or so.
A magical item card with a drawing of a two-legged dancing mushroom. The text reads: "Dancing Shroom. This mushroom likes to boogie. If you can catch it, it can be used to brew a powerful potion that forces the drinker to dance excellently for up to five minutes, unable to do anything else. Brewing this potion marks you as a sworn enemy of the Shroomfolk."

I’m playing around with drawing some dungeony stuff but I’m beefing it on the stairs. Anyone have tips to make the stairs actually look like stairs?

You know what this book loves more than money? Knowledge.
A magical item card featuring a book with a toothed orifice in the middle of the cover. The text reads: "Insatiable Tome. Eats books. Always hungry. Feed it one book per day to keep it satisfied, but grumpy. Its pages are filled with the words from the books it has eaten. If it gets too hungry, it will start eating the memories of any nearby creatures instead."

Well, here's another one. I feel like whether this is fun or terrifying depends on your GM.
A magical item card with a drawing of a face wearing a three-eyed mask. The text reads: "Mask of M'nath. When you wear this, you can speak to the imprisoned god M'nath. They ask about the mortal world. If you tell the truth, get 1 hour of outbound telepathy per day. If you tell a lie, there's a chance M'nath will possess you and use your body to see the world for themselves."

Here comes another weird item for your RPG games. The Cyclops Candle 👁️
A magical item card with a drawing of a candle that has an eye in it. The text reads: "Cyclops Candle. When you light this candle, one of your eyes is safely removed from your head and put into the eye socket in the candle. You can still see through it and control it from any distance. To get your eye back, someone else with at least one eye must light the candle."

My daughter said I should draw a carrot, so I present the Rootknife.
A magical item card with a drawing of a carrot sharpened into a knife. The text reads: "Rootknife. A sharpened carrot. Deals double damage vs. the enemies of rabbits. If you plant it, water it, and wait 40 days, it will grow into a humanoid Rootgolem that is under your command. It lasts forever in frigid temperatures, but decays quickly in warm climates."

There’s a big snowstorm headed my way, so here’s Snowbard.
A magical item card with a drawing of a snowball with a face, singing. The text reads: “Snowbard. A singing snowball. It will put out any medium-sized or smaller fire you tell it to, but it always sings a jaunty tune (loudly) when dangerous creatures are nearby. It can never melt. If you use it in a snowball fight, all songs it sings will feature lyrics that insult you.”

Here's a weird item for if your game world has black powder firearms. Don't ask me what "cleaning and oiling yourself as if you were a firearm" entails, it's up to your GM/table 🤣
A magical item card with a drawing of a ring with smoke or flames rising from it. The text reads: Gritty Ring. Coated in blackpowder. When you spit this ring from your mouth, it explodes forward like a bullet toward your target, charring your tongue and blackening your teeth. After used once, you must recharge it by cleaning & oiling yourself as if you were a firearm.

Here's another system-neutral magic item for today :)
A magical item card with a crude drawing of an arrow with a snake twining around its shaft and a barbed tip. The text reads: "Crimson Arrow. When this arrow pierces living flesh, the flesh immediately expels all of its blood into the form of a 12 foot long Blood Viper. It will do your bidding as long as you can maintain control over it. Otherwise, it attacks everything in sight."

Here's a system agnostic magical item for your fantasy games.
A vertical business card sized item card depicting the "Scrying Orb", a smooth glassy orb thrumming with magic. When you roll it into an area, you can view that area through the orb from its perspective. If it is crushed while you're viewing through it, you're mentally harmed as if suffering a psychic attack.

What should I do with 21 castle place card holders I bought at Goodwill? Whacky ideas only.

Yeah great point about measurability. The only thing I’ve ever been able to do to make a significant impact on a game’s success is a lucky viral post on r/rpg. Here are the charts. It’s pwyw so it has only grossed around 80 bucks over its lifetime but it landed on a few APs which was cool

Would it be weird to make and post one whacky item like this per day for a year? Probably.
A rare item card titled “Vyrdspal Wand”, it reads: “Use this wand to make any creature insatiably hungry for 1 day. After used once, it must be recharged by being used to roast sausages over a fire.”

Starting layout for my #NaGaDeMon2024 project finally. It’s changed a lot, but after cutting some scope creep I think I might actually finish it in time.

A bit of photo manipulated art for “The Haunting At Fredrich Manor” mystery for Campfire.
Image of an 1800s portrait, top hat and white glove tipping the brim, but the face is mysteriously blurred as if turning to a ghostly smoke.
