Some hand sheets I made for the animation team! I looked at how Dana drew hands a lot and coupled it with my own anatomical knowledge of hands. #KnightsOfGuinevere

I used to struggle with foot placement in my turnarounds until I figured out this hack, hope it helps!

Thank you so much for the boost! It’s my little passion project I’m working on, this means a lot. I mainly freelance as a board game illustrator but this time I’m making my own. 😊

I just watch lots of youtube videos about fun music toys and hope that suffices… I’d probably buy too many if I start. But that’s a stunner, looking forward to any tracks you use it on.

I'm realizing I never explained the game I'm working on - so I pinned a general overview of Florafiora to my profile. 🍃

Emily Hancock @emilyhancock.bsky.social · Sep 5

What is Florafiora? It's my storytelling card game!
It's a no-prep, one-shot generator where all 4 players get a turn as the Storyteller (gm).
Create a backstory you all share, then explore the botanical kingdoms of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
More info about the game continued- 🧵

Florafiora dev still ongoing. Some examples of all four Location cards, one from each "season", with their matching card backs.

I'm also experimenting with custom Improv dice!
After a Player describes an action they want to take- the Storyteller can roll the die to help determine the results.
Players can only use each action once per game- so each choice matters. Limited cards and actions = consistent game runtime.

A roll chart with explanations on how to read the Improv die, with a regular d4 roll chart.

Custom resin dice to use for Improv rolls. You wouldn't need a roll chart with the text directly printed on it! The four different sides read Yes and , Yes but, No but, No and.

Location cards have descriptor words that help the active Storyteller to come up with a plot thread for Players. Encounters have modifiers that change based on what season they appear in.
And - if the Encounter is revealed clockwise / counter-clockwise, they can either be friend or foe!

Above - character sheet tableaus. These contain the backstory roll chart as well as a list of character actions you can take. Bottom left - Encounter cards. Bottom right - Location cards.

An explanation on how to read encounter cards.

You setup the board by drawing 4 location and 4 encounter cards, placing them on the Storywheel board.
Each Storyteller will be in charge of narrating a Location, then an Encounter before passing to the next player.
When you're not the Storyteller- you are a Player that can take character actions.

An explanation about how to setup the game board.
