Preview of some of the manticore + sphinx adopts releasing on Friday evening (7 pm Eastern US).
Aethon + Zuleika are full sheet adopts, which means they come with a fullbody, a headshot, and a color palette.
Alkyone + Roshanak are individual adopts, where you get the fullbody only.

What's this, a new playtest?
Cyberpunk meets Norse mythology in RAID. This very early playtest shows off my OSR-ish game built on the same engine that runs GILA.
The gods have become CEOs. The world tree must burn.

Cool things about Rust Wings (pt 1). Rust Wings uses children's wooden blocks to create immersive climbing, hiding, and spatial navigation. It's been amazing watching players navigate the world around their PCs, picking precise routes through ruined buildings. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wat...
