The young Pearlman was a lost cause, a hikikomori with exasperating stubbornness; he demanded from their parents a colossal shell to hoard hundreds of role playing games, which he studied in great detail. Now, two centuries old, he feels he has made enough prep for his first session.

Tales from Behind the Ferns is funded, and several achievements are already unlocked. I'm amazed and grateful to the community, and excited by the collaboration among creators.

Here's a sneak peek at the zine Brimstone Ikebana: Kappas building a dam.

Some of the paper minis art for Tales from Behind the Ferns. This process requires you to consider the entire volume of each character to make sure everything aligns correctly. Lots of fun :-)

#MÖRKTOBER Day 21: Beak

They call him "The Beak", a neo-anarchist expropriator and saboteur. Judicial systems of six states were unable to catch him. His name is a curse for CEOs and a nightmare in the halls of power.

Don't ask me how, but I managed to smuggle a digital tablet into the Zone. Here are the initial entries of the botanical journal. I'm beginning to sense some imminent mutation under the skin.

#MÖRKTOBER 11: Scales
Scales, a time poacher in flagrant violation of temporal laws. The Butterfly Squad is on his trail, but he always manages to evade, jumping eras to smuggle his prehistoric trophies. He even shamelessly shows himself on social media, wearing a dinosaur skin jacket.
