Hi! I'm Alex, aka Axiom.

I take apart TTRPGs like a remote control I’m still figuring out how to reassemble.

I make solo games and game accessories: GM 'helpers', bookmarks, notebooks, condition banners, etc.

Check out my games here: axiom-delver.itch.io to grab a free copy, or support.

Thx!

And finally WIZARDS! Who doesn't have fun drawing WIZARDS!?
You can go from Gandalf to Hey-That-Guy-Attacked-Me-With-A-Sword!
Also, check that flying snake!!

So I really do need to be making some "LOOKING FOR WORK" material because I am very much without a job currently, but you'd think me keeping up the pace of doing about 2 drawings a day for 150 days straight as a side project would be a pretty good advertisement.

Ok, it's late. You're sleepy. You've never seen these icons before. I made them for an upcoming game I'm making called PONDUS. These are all benefits you gain. Without anymore context can you tell me what think these icons do? The other picture is the tiles in use on a player board.

The yellow player board with these bonus action tiles in place. Unfortunately these icons need to work 360 degrees.

Never really liked the concept of Sorcerer as someone who just can channel magic. In modern Dungeons & Dragons that defines almost every single character class. Maybe that's the reason I struggle to come with more visually distinctive themes with these.

The open beta release for Pilgrim's Passages, my house rule set, is here! It attempts to tackle travel, item crafting, and spell programing. If you would like to check it out please click the link in the next post. It's "Pay What You Want", so feel free to take it for a spin.

My latest essay is on @olddog.games's "Deathmatch Island!" I talk about how the game designs its climax around the Prisoner's Dilemma, and how, despite the fact that the game wants you to break that cycle, that initial tension is the best part of the text.

It has been a wild ride from figuring out how to condense this down into a cassette case, to being featured in my LGS, and now the end of the conveniently timed jam and getting a shout here! I'm so glad everyone is finding this as cool as I do 😄

#VekariTTRPG #TTRPG

Vekari TTRPG cassette case with its contents laid out on a wooden deck. Contains a double sided world map, 8 instructional zines (with blank backs when unfolded if you need extra paper to write on!), a pair of RPG dice spinner stickers and paperclips, and a card-shaped USB containing backups of everything seen here as well as a PDF with more in-depth rules and lore

There is also an ever-growing source of lore on the official website, which contains an ongoing story you can participate in, like a virtual world/RPG/ARG/interactive story: vekari.net
