Happy Birthday, Meeps!

You're one of the kindest, most sincere people I know and I'm glad that you stuck around as a buddy. I hope your day was great. Have another I-stole-your-character-and-put-them-in-jeans picture!

This turned out (unintentionally) similar to Bolty's pic, but I guess with a guy who controls wind you end up drawing a lot of poses like this!

Jacky's emu is horrible so she ditches it on the side of the road only to have it keep finding her in terrible places.

I leave you with no context other than that.

Woo Woo is a sound emus make according to me.

Oh hello friends I've been busy. Also tired, but busy working on something I'm very excited about.

I wrote a level 20 Greatwyrm slaying adventure, inspired by Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and am currently play testing the module. In order to run the adventure you'll need access to the PHB, MM, and FtoD, but the mod itself is going to be free. When done, it'll include somewhere between 6-10 custom drawn maps, about 25 custom drawn tokens, 3 NPCs built with personalities and stat blocks, and a pdf with everything you'd need to run this adventure.

It's built so it can be run as a oneshot or a 6-session adventure, you choose! Each part of the adventure is modular, so you can either swap in and out what you/your players have time for, or play the whole thing. And like I said, it'll be 100% free, I'll be putting in on KoFi or something similar to distribute it but I won't charge a cent for it.

So that's where I've been, and why it's been a hot minute since I've uploaded any art. This has been a project about a year in the making, as I've had time between my day job to pick at it. I'm not sure EXACTLY when it'll be ready for release, but it should be ready before the years end.

The working titles for this adventure are "Slaying Adatok" and "The Paragon of Shatterpeak," not sure which one I'll go with if either of them, but expect to see more as time goes on and as I get through my playtesting rounds!

It’s A Great Day To Die!

Gresh’am, Son of Grellak, House Kurita - A Hobgoblin that was rejected by his tribe for insubordination, refusing to harm non combatants/women/children in a scuffle. He was hot on the trail of a giant magically altered wolf that had killed one of his escort clients with the Fighters Guild, and considered it a matter of personal honor to see to it’s demise. We eventually learned that it was commissioned by Finneas Hammerlock and created by Maximilian Goron Del the Fourth, and to Gresh’am’s honor, the party dealt with all three. He was accepted back to his tribe a hero.

Gresh’am would refer to the party to others as “my warband,” which eventually led to them being affectionately called “The Agaran Warband” despite their general lack of actual participation in war/killing, and the fact that not everyone stayed in Agaras post-campaign. The implication that they had become a small family unit during their short adventure was enough for the name to stick.

Eyes On the Prize

Cartwright - One of Finneas Hammerlock’s top assassins, he’s a level headed man who’s insanely good at his job, though he doesn’t necessarily like it. After harassing and chasing the party down for a good bit of time he turned to them for help resurrecting his friend Selena, who had been murdered by Hammerlock - her safety secured for loyal aid in taking the party’s enemies down. Once his debt was paid, he took his leave of the party and slinked into the shadows with Selena.

The Agaran Warband Rises!

I finally wrapped up those illustrations that have been sitting on my plate for... almost two years, jeez. I’ll be rolling the illustrations out over the next few days so keep an eye out!

This was a fantastic campaign and a wonderful way to bond with a new group of friends over the pandemic. I’ve left this project unfinished for too long and it feels good to finally have this off my plate.

Born to Explore! 

Malotz Arykethen - a cartographer with an itch for travel. He’s a lover of people and cultures, and believes that each map he makes is nothing short of a love letter to a place he’s visited. While in Agaras, he was forced to reconcile with his past when he found out his father was taken as a political prisoner, and eventually apologized for running away and completely disregarding his family. Malotz still doesn’t care for politics and makes a point to live off only what money is necessary, but the wounds associated with worrying his family were finally allowed to heal over.

I don’t really upload WIPs very often, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt for once. Here’s some tarot card WIPs I’ve had kicking around for a while that I just tied down tonight! 

I had made a list of all the PCs and a bunch of NPCs to fill out all of the Major Arcana, but seeing as it’s been a year since I’ve picked this project up, I doubt ill have the energy for a whole deck. I did want to at least get the PCs + our DMs favorite NPC on the docket, though. I have ideas on how I want to render these out but for now they’ll exist as just these sketches. 

These characters specifically are from the Agaras campaign, in order - Malotz, Schmendrick, Gresh’am, Lyrshel, Alikeri, Cullpepper, and Cartwright.
