📷 I thiiiiiink @barnaby.bsky.social, Furtrack only said "Barnaby" so I'm making my guess X3
Milo (Aussie Shep with big glasses) is VERY close to the camera, holding his paws up to wave at you. His plaid kerchief has a badge for the board of AWU, a very cool con you should come visit :3

Why we don't leave firespitters unattended when walking in Le-Koro 🙄

Wanted to get in on the fun for #810nicle, so I brought Takua and Jaller (besties forever) for a quick pic!

Anybody seeing this have a favorite Bionicle character? Lemme know, I wanna see your fave funky robots!

#BionicleDay
Two Matoran from Bionicle in a planter that looks kidna tropical: Jaller (yellow and red fire boi) climbs a tree, while Takua (blue and red and yellow, my brave and perfect child) watches from below.

If y'all are gonna be at GenCon this weekend, Rillem will be available among the many cool games at this booth!

You too can experience the iconic emotion of "trapped on an island full of weird stuff"!

I'll be hanging at AWU myself, but if you're there go take a peek :3

(cw: macro bulge)

Wasn't big enough for #MacroMonday, so I figured I'd just borrow @giantjrain.bsky.social's size!

I don't think he minds, he's got LOTS to keep him occupied down there anyway~

I've never looked so HUNKY, many thanks to @lemonysol.bsky.social for making my handsome fox so huge :3c
Ziggy is huuuuuge and hunky and looming above, using one paw to press a tiny Jrain into his bulge with a smirk. The wiggly lines of size theft abound as he grows and the derg gets smaller~

Day 2, entry 12

And that's a wrap for Rillem, at least the posting of it! I'm gonna keep playing this run on my own, but thought it'd be fun to share the first little isle as a demo of sorts.

If you decide to try it out, I'd love to hear (and see) how your own isles look!

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a gold-and-white sketch from the inside of the cable car, showing a control panel in front of a view window out to a faraway isle. Text in white ink reads: Judging by that pillar, Dakk was here for some time. . .but left this isle for another. WHY he left I'm still unsure, but I'll need tk widen my search. There's only two more days until Rillem falls apart, and I'm not planning to leave without him. I'm heading back to the capsule. If I'm lucky, my brother is on that isle. If I'm not. . .we're in deep.

Critter by the falls, was a bit of a hodgepodge in the end, but I like the zoomy bugs :3

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a gold-and-white sketch of a trunked creature crouching besides a waterfall that pours upward into the sky as beetles zoom around the droplets, with the corner marking it as the 5 of Hearts prompt. Text in white ink reads: Given the nature of Rillem's water, the steam is making sense. A squat trunked creature was using the spray of this strange falls to feed, catching the beetles that were drawn to the shimmering droplets. A clever fellow!

Another isle! Made this one a cool cable car to get a bit more Riven references in there ;3

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a gold-and-white sketch of a cable car capsule hanging above a network of steam pipes, with the corner marking it as the Ace of Diamonds prompt. Text in white ink reads: The rising bridge was impressive already, but this. . . .this is something. The capsule appears to be powered by steam. What's making the heat? No time to find out, must find Dakk. Perhaps he knows?

Day 2, entry 9

Reached the end of my tokens, which means a new day starts! Rillem gives you three days to explore and escape, so I'm starting to strategize my card hopping a bit 👀

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a gold sketch of a shooting star passing over grassy hills and making them change color, with the corner marking it as the 8 of Hearts prompt. Text in white ink reads: Caught a few hours of sleep. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like a whole day passed. . . Was awoken by a star streaking down past the hills with the brightest glow I've ever seen. Once it flew beyond that horizon, EVERY hill became the same rich blue as the star's light. Unsure what it means. . .another warning? An omen?

At long last, I got a prompt for the brother my character is seeking 👀

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a sketch of a spiral covered pillar, surrounded by large daggers in a field lit by a setting sun, with the corner marking it as the Queen of Hearts prompt. Text in white ink reads: Beyond the statue were more carvings. Stone swords with long shadows filled the meadow around a spiral-decked pillar. Something in their shape made me get closer. . . I'd know those marks anywhere. DAKK carved this, he's here!

I was quite proud of the rabbit statue here, turned out really cool!

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a gold sketch of a rabbit statue with wide panicked eyes, standing on a pedestal marked with strange symbols, with the corner marking it as the 2 of Clubs prompt. Text in white ink reads: If stone could fear, this would. Its panicked gaze seemed to follow me as I went by. The etching is one I CAN read, and appears to be a warning: WHEN TWILIGHT CALLS THE TOWER FALLS As there's been nothing BUT twilight here, I fear Rillem may not have long left. . .

swirly twirly flying figures~

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a sketch of three long-tailed winged creatures flying in a circle, with the corner marking it as the 8 of Clubs prompt. Text in white ink reads: The casters of my mystery shade: a trio of winged creatures are circling above me and crying out. While it's probably just a flock out looking for food, their flight reminds me too much of carrion birds waiting for death below. . . Omen or not, it's too eerie for me. I won't linger here long.

Sundials are neat and I don't know how to read 'em very well IRL, but they make great flavor for games!

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a sketch of a gold spire in the middle of a sundial, with the corner marking it as the 3 of Spades prompt. Text in white ink reads: Down the path from the gate was a broad disc of stone at the center of a ruined court, with a tall spire at the middle. The icons on the edge feel familiar. . . When I arrived, the shadow had shifted from beetle to blade. Is this predicting my movements? A few smaller shadows began moving in

I do like me a cool bug :3

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a sketch of a gold beetle flying up from a closed gate on a path, with the corner marking it as the 10 of Hearts prompt. Text in white ink reads: Decided to cover the rest of this isle before I venture elsewhere. Found a beautiful golden beetle resting on a gate I passed through. Spent some time watching it before it flew off into the amber sky. Dakk always loved beetles. . . . I hope he gets to see this one.

Aha! Another connection to a new isle! I decided to make each one a different means of travel just for fun, so this is some kinda weird magical teleport arch.

(Forgot hashtags before, oooops ^///^;)

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a sketch of a gold archway on the edge of the sea with an isle viewed beyond, and a small doodle connecting two of these gates, with the corner marking it as the Ace of Clubs prompt. Text in white ink reads: As I walked down to the shore to take a closer look at this new bridge, I found a metal arch crusted over with salt. The large symbol isn't one I know, but is assuredly B'ni. It points seaward, but the steps beyond are all that's left. I can see an island beyond through the arch. Later, I'll try stepping through to see what happens. . .

🎵This is the very model of a solo game description page,
Its information--found with an inscription--will be all the rage🎵

(Hellooooo I am back and also sleepy so you get a Penzance joke, buckle up)
A black page with a sketch of a low stone pool with a tiny model of a tower, with a faraway isle in the misty background. The corner is marking it as the Ace of Hearts prompt. Text in white ink reads: I found a small pool nearby the Tower with the whole archipelago in miniature. No why the B'ni built something like this. Surveying? Some working of magic? It matches the isles perfectly [perfectly is crossed out] Looking closely at one model isle, I found a bridge that wasn't there. At my touch of the small one, the waters churned and a sunken match rose from the sea. Strange. . .

Day 1, entry 1½

Made a map of Nakk's travels across the isles, decided to go smol!

Tiny icons each represent a prompt, and longer doodles are paths to new isles. I decided to keep this as just the first isle for a "demo", so you'll have to play yourself to see beyond that ;3

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a small sketch of a central isle in gold and white ink, with tiny icons marking different events and features. Three paths lead off across the ocean: a capsule on a wire, a long bridge, and a weird swirling gate. Text in white ink reads: MAP OF ISLES DAYS: 1

Day 1, entry 1

Decided "off-screen" that my character's name is Nakk, who's come to Rillem searching for his brother Dakk (as per my pick of the Queen cards during setup)

Had a lovely notebook with black pages, so I'm having fun with the minimal color palette and how it pops!

#solorpg #ttrpg
A black page with a sketch of a gold-domed tower on a misty isle, with the corner marking it as the Ace of Spades prompt. Text in white ink reads: Rillem. I don't know what compelled my brother to travel such old paths to come here, but this is the last place I've been able to track him to. All around me are ruins and fog, both alight with a twilight glow. I haven't seen the sun move at all. What IS this place? Dakk, where ARE you? I'll rest a bit before my search, but I WILL find you.

To celebrate, I started a playthrough of Rillem myself! I've only done playtesting for mechanics, never gotten to sit down for a full run with sketch + story time :3

I'll be sharing it slowly as a thread! As they're a bit long/in my fox scrawlings, full details will be in alt text!

@chupakaibra.bsky.social was doing RAD sketches in 2-5 minutes with crayon and marker. . .y'all, the confidence of lines on display was astounding :o

Got two cool sketches from them: Milotoran (cuz Bionicle :3) and Seb with Yu-Gi-Oh cards!

#Anthrocon2025
A sketch of a dog furry styled to look like a Matoran from LEGO Bionicle (specifically wearing a Kanohi Pakari cuz yes I'm that level of nerdy) A snep furry lounging on his huge fluffy tail and admiring a handful of Yu-Gi-Oh cards (they're probably all Kuribohs)
