#burrow’s end

[islandoforder]

personally my fave thing is how whenever izzy is on d20 and she will let brennan talk for like five minutes and then brutally and unapologetically snipe him

The preview image for the next episode has me in a chokehold and I went into a fugue state and drew this.

Watcha looking at, Iz?

Aabria is such a visionary with how she uses the dome because she does revolutionary things that seem so obvious in retrospect.

Of course you can branch out into new RPG systems

Of course you can project on the walls

Of course you can use those projections as an integral part of storytelling

Of course you can make puzzle battle maps

Continuously in awe because each time she does this, it’s impossible to imagine how it hasn’t been done before. I bow down before Aabria the absolute production design queen

"Huh, wild." "'Huh, wild.'"

Page One: The stoat family is gathered around the walkie, planning with Tara. Tula says, "If we're worried about Tara running this gambit by herself-"

Page Two: Tula speaks to Thorn Vale and continues saying, "You could imitate Tara over the walkie talkie to Wenabocker, and just have her be waiting at the paddock." Elsewhere, Tara asks into the walkie, "Can you do an impression of me?"

Page three: Thorn Vale mimics her, parroting, "'Can you do an impression of me?'" Tara curses (the word censored by a frozen strawberry), catches herself, then says, "Sorry, pants?"

witnessing the most horrifying atrocities and then experiencing whiplash from the funniest thing you’ve ever seen is just part of the d20 experience

This is the scene we’re submitting to the Actualplay Emmys

Here are some illustrations I did for the background projections on @dimension20official ‘s Burrow’s End 🐾 For most of these you could only see the middle area of the image, so I thought it’d be fun to share the entirety of it ✨

Super thankful that Derek ( @kered555) and Ruby (@rubertdubert) brought me onto this project 💕

Anyone who is interested in Eldritch Horror as a genre needs to watch Burrow’s End. Aabria is giving us a master class in what makes Eldritch Horror so scary. It’s not just that there’s a big scary monster that has the wrong number of limbs or eyes (although we are getting that in the form of the hazmat suits), nor is it the wrongness of the effects of the creatures (which we get in the parasitic chipmunks), it’s how much bigger everything is than the stoats.

It’s the concept of witnessing something so much above and beyond your comprehension that you can’t describe it. It’s trying to explain what that thing is when you don’t have the vocabulary, and how strange things become when you have to dumb down what you saw so others can understand. Having to say things like “non-bear” and “blue sun”. It’s trying to explain what reading is when there’s no concept of a written language with letters. How unsettling things are when you can’t understand.

We even get the root of Eldritch Madness in Thorn. He seems strange, sketchy, and even unstable to his family, not because he’s actually “mad” but because he witnessed something incomprehensible. He understands something fundamental about the world that no one else can grasp unless they’ve also witnessed it.

Everything about this, even the pieces of the puzzle that the audience can put together with their own experiences, is made unsettling and strange.

Imagine if you were on a clean up crew of people tasked with decontaminating Chernobyl (or an area similar) but as soon as you tried to go in you started getting tricks pulled on you by stoats loony tunes style because the stoats have somehow claimed the old nuclear plant and won’t let you have it back. The stoats are cutting your brake lines. The stoats are fucking up your equipment. The stoats are felling a tree and pushing it over onto your truck. The stoats are all wearing ribbons and doing karate and biting you. That is what the humans of this world are in for

Normal DM: my players can’t solve basic puzzles

Aabria, our production design queen: I put the answer to the giant mystery on the back of my player’s clipboards and literally no one bothered to flip them over until I told them to.
