I do prop construction for theater (and film) and Asa hired me to hand write and then burn/age a bunch of props for this game. It’s some of my best work 👀

A little Soothwardens lore and visual drop, while I work on finalizing the quickstart 👀

Incredible work by @artofjoshuaclarke.bsky.social
Three thousand years ago, the planet looked much different. Large continents spread across vast oceans, giving shape to a wide variety of peoples, wildlife, and landscapes. Then, the Cascade came. Vibrant green meteors crashed down in overwhelming numbers across land and water. Mages, and colossal planetary guardians, called Omirim rushed out in eight directions to save what they could. While tidal waves of earth and sea crashed against their magic, they pushed, driving the land from behind them out into a ring to combat the onslaught. The dust of the shattered and burned meteors drove through their barrier, mixing with the magic and washing over them. As their gigantic forms began to petrify, the Omirim sang out in a funeral song. This song, this dirge, reshaped the world to save the small humans that were left behind. Where once were multiple continents and oceans spread across the planet, now sat a circular ring of mountain range reaching to the clouds. One ocean sat in the middle, thousands of miles wide in every direction, so that almost every bit of hospitable land rested between shore and mountainside. The surviving humans lived and rebuilt off of the space between. The Ring still managed to contain a multitude of environments, temperatures and landscapes in what was left. But the tumultuous restoration of the planet’s new shape brought on challenges for the young human population. As they built around them, they found that many of the flora and fauna from before had changed, somehow affected by the Cascade. New prey animals began to roam the land, both in herds and in solitude. With them, came new predators. But something worse than predators came as well... A massive petrified statue of a humanoid figure called an Omirim pushing against the wall of a mountainside. Above it is the oncoming evening sky full of stars, and below it is a countryside and the far off image of a city. The city and countryside look diminutive because of the scale, and the image perspective is set from out in the ocean.

I love this article because it talks about a simple way to reduce crunch - not announcing dates too early!

The way people have had to pivot around the chaos of this year on a dime…if you’re still out here creating anything WITHOUT AI (especially for free) crunch shouldn’t be on your radar babes😤💅

Finally sitting down to listen to @3blackhalflings.bsky.social , and listening to Candace and Jeremy chat about the “That’s What My Character Would Do” phenomenon honestly feels like sitting down with friends. It’s such a good, cozy, sometimes really profound conversation?? Go give them some love 🫶✨
