Rats in the Walls, the forged in the dark game about rodent adventures in a haunted, clockwork manor, has a new logo sketch and went through four playtest oneshots recently that all went super well!

Rats in the Walls, the roleplaying game of rodent stealth and survival in the walls of a Victorian manor #forgedinthedark, just had its fourth playtest in one week, and it's holding up really well! Excited to keep cracking away at it and show more of it to people

I've decided to try my hand at doing a perspective grid - excited to see how it's shaping up, no matter how slow the process is

Deep in the weeds on the next Rats illustration - the balancing act between "playing fast and look with perspective to achieve a particular effect" and "making sure things don't just look 'wrong' in a bad way" can be a challenge!

I'm codesigning Rats In The Walls, a forged in the dark game of rodent stealth and survival in a victorian era manor. It's got ghosts, faction warfare, steampunky contraptions. Think The Borrowers meets Secret of NIMH and Watership Down. Here's my first piece of art for it so far. Follow for more!

My first illustration for a FitD game I’m designing with @darkwingdork.bsky.social and @talesofkaimere.bsky.social: Rats In The Walls, about rodent stealth and survival in the margins of a spooky human manor- think The Borrowers meets Rats of NIMH.
