A few years ago I made an icon pack for folks to use (it's free!) and over the years it's appeared on 100+ products (from what folks have linked to me! Mostly books) I like the positive spin of 'human made' vs 'no ai' personally.

Here are a bunch of process sketches/work from the creation of my Appendix N. Jam entry. I like to do things analog!

#AppendixNJam #AppxN #osr

Pencil sketch for the cover of Twisting Old Wounds, an adventure module made as an entry to the Appendix N. Jam.

Sketchbook page with black and white pen drawings of molemen, serpentine furred beats, and a few thumbnail ideas for the cover of Twisting Old Wounds, an entry for the Appendix N. Jam.

A printed out WIP layout of a dungeon adventure, with cross-outs and edits, as wel as ballpoint pen drawings of creatures, scribbled notes, and a map of 7 caverns chambers labeled as various 'organs.'

An unfinished, washy acrylic painting of a serpentine dragon with googly eyes on stalks snarling at a fancy swordsman crouched on it's curling bulk, poised to pierce it's hideous hide it with a slender silver sword. Orange, blue and grey dominate the moody painting.

In some settings, if you see an orc it’s assumed they are an enemy combatant, but that isn’t always true. Sometimes the armed bands outside the city are bandits, sometimes they are freedom fighters.

What do assumed enemy types say about a setting? My post explores this idea #osr #ttrgp

I’m really glad you do! I really want to get better at suggesting rather than describing. The road ahead is long but I guess that’s as good a start as any.
