I know it should go without saying because, you know, it’s a Wil Overton piece, but this is fantastic. Really brings HoH alive.
We're chuffed to reveal the official artwork for "Return to Blacktooth", lovingly crafted by the talented @wiloverton.bsky.social

More updates soon...

There's a lot, a LOT, of #gameDev that's numbers and sheets. If you're ignoring sheets as an assist or a buddy you're only hurting yourself.
