Boundless Space art for you all today, as I can't share commission work, just yet.
I'm thinking about putting some bright holographic billboards around the asteroid belt's little boomtown station. What kind of far future amenities do you all think that Railhead should have on offer?

While I'm thinking about Spencer's stuff. The latest edition of the RAID playtest has got my wheels turning. You can enjoy some excellent Gila design, but for me it conjurs Muspel as a vast riveted iron & steaming grates under an Yggdrasil-shaped arcology.
More of a grungy, euro take on the genre.

BOUNDLESS SPACE: Not too exciting today, but you've got to put the character sheet together at some point.
Since this is a very cyberpunk/Ghost in the Shell future setting, we're linking the last few hit points to your character's talents and abilities--they can be hacked!

And the blue lights shining with a heavenly grace help you right on by
And there ain't no road just like it anywhere I found
Running south on Lake Shore Drive heading into town
Just slippin' on by on LSD, Friday night trouble bound

I was going to do a thread on which Pokémon exemplify the various playbooks but I got stuck on the Faithful because Pokémon are beyond the light of God.

I'll post this one, too, since it's out of my normal wheelhouse.
Here's a character of demonic heritage getting a dose of "Martyr's Blood" for Eric Lazure's upcoming expansion for Daggerheart!
My original sketch had much more junk in the trunk, but this site has taught me that's a Goblin thing.

Woof. Almost posted about politics. I think we can all agree on who we'd like to see fired into the sun, and no one needs my attempts to be pithy about that.

SOLARCRAWL: Continuing the work of the nine base planets. Today we get to the gas giant Vent, and the shattered alien artifact orbiting in its rings.
A fairly empty composition, since I'll have to put a ton of word boxes and locations to explore in and over this piece.

I finished the first full rules pass on this today. Next up is stress testing the space combat, and making a character sheet!
(You may not believe it, but this is how I design. Got to see the whole thing on the page to make it work.)

Boundless Space: Making the scary monsters of the Eridani Belt today. I'm thinking that space combat will be much like normal conflict in Boundless, but with the addition of vast space ranges, multiple actions for a crewed ship, and of course, torpedoes and boarding!

I have way too many things to promote. I'm going to end up diluting my message! 😓
Let's start with the Kickstarter for GRAVITY, shall we, which is doing much better since the self-pity boost last weekend. Still need £640 to fund though -- that's 32 more hard copy sales!

Hot damn, I've always wanted to run an Incal/Arzach, and it looks like it will finally happen! This piece by Linnea Sterte is incredible.

It's all coming together, bit by bit. I should have space conflicts and a character sheet in line by the end of the week, and then, who knows?
boundless spaces NPCs!
Laying out some NPCs for that Boundless Space game today. I can draw little space guys all day long, but really wish I could outsource the writing. The pain of staring at the names I come up with, willing something better to emerge.

I'm going to have to draw some fucked up little guys.

I finished it! A Warhammer 40K adventure & TTRPG where you *don't* play Space Marines. Instead you play those little hooded freaks loitering in the background while Space Marines hog the limelight.

So I'm making a hack that does just that!
