Another Dead Celt

 

Dead Celt

 

Throw Your Hands Up at Me (Again)

Six (!) years ago I drew a hypothetical female Avengers team. It was okay.

Earlier this month, this appeared on Twitter:

So I drew this:

It's not an Avengers team as such, although I'm so out of touch with Marvel continuity these days that it's possible Black Cat and Motormouth have made it on to the team at some point.

Another Seedling

More video content! More video content that I did not create!

The people at Fantastic Dimensions have had another go at playing The Seed!

 

The first attempt can be seen here.
 

They have also played 2018's April Fool adventure Fish F**kers, and you can see that video here. I haven't embedded the video because the uncensored title is in the preview image and I'm making a half-hearted attempt to keep this blog PG.
 

You can get The Seed in paper here and in digital bits here. Fish F**kers is available in digital form here.

Watching The Seed Grow

I promised actual content. This is not that content. Or maybe it is, but it's not my content. Or maybe it is.

Anyway.

Here's a video of some people playing my new rpg adventure The Seed. There are some spoilers, but not many, because they don't get far.

Which is itself a spoiler. Damn.

Anyway.

Buy My Books! (If You Want)

Oh dear.

This seems to happen an awful lot. The blog goes silent for a while, then I pop up to try and sell you things. Proper content soon, I promise.

Adventure Anthology: Blood is a bunch of early Lamentations of the Flame Princess adventures repackaged and with 250+ new pictures from me. EU shop. US shop. PDFs.

The Seed is a new adventure from Games Omnivorous that is intended to be broadly compatible with most game systems. I did the pictures and the words, but the amazing neon pink design was all them. I'm very proud of this one. You can get it in print or pdf.

Barbarians of the Ruined Earth is the long-awaited -- by me, anyway! -- post-apocalyptic role-playing game from DIY RPG Productions. I did a few maps and pictures for this book and I had a lot of fun working on it. You can get it here or here; the books have different covers but the same contents.

If you buy some of these books, I can perhaps afford to get my table re-varnished.

Barbarians of the Completed Project

Barbarians of the Ruined Earth is complete! Apparently they were waiting for me to draw this final piece:

Oops. Sorry for the wait, everyone.

(Yes, it's an homage to the Star Wars poster. There are five other deliberate Easter eggs in the picture to find!)

The files will now go off for printing and I'm not sure how long that will take given current world events, but I will post when the book is available.

Today's Special

The other day I waffled about food in role-playing games and now here we are.

Roll 1d100 to determine your character's favourite foodstuff. Maybe eating it improves their morale, or if eaten during a rest your character gets extra healing. Dunno. I leave that up to you.

Hardly Everchosen

I stumbled across this art today:

(I discovered that it's from a 2015 Age of Sigmar book and I can't tell you who the artist is because in 2015 Games Workshop wasn't big on giving credit to individual staff members.)

What struck me about the picture was how different it is to the standard GW house style, which tends to be more painterly. Actual drawings have very much gone out of fashion in Nottingham, so I was surprised but happy to see eight pages of this at the beginning of the book.

Alas, it's presented as a flashback and the final page blends from this style into your bog-standard GW painting, so there's a sense that it's literally "only a dream", but it's still nice to see a different style of art appear in a modern GW product. Maybe there are more that I have missed.
