One of my Delian Tomb players had such a great time, he wrote an epilogue for his Polder Elementalist.

Public discourse seems to always focus on one bad dude, company, entity. But the true societal problem is that the class of people, companies, or entities exists. Focus on the larger problem. That larger problem should be our greater focus and be regulated out of existence.

This looks fantastic! At a time where there are so many really cool draw steel crowdfunders on the go, this stands out with a really novel idea!(and amazing art from two of my favourite artists)
I’ll be backing it, you should too!

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

We are going to run a one-shot showcasing Nomas soon. It will have new Ancestries, a new villain, and some cool factions that grant unique titles to the PCs who belong to them.
In the meantime, if you are interested, you can follow the project here.

I've not painted in some time. Due to: getting more writing done, parenting, and those extra road detours that life throws in for fun (not fun). BUT! Got in the studio the other day, grabbed three bottles of ink, and brush.
I always lean towards cats.

Yes, I really do each individual tree, trunk, patch of grass, etc. One brush, no stamps. Because it’s not just a map, it’s art.
