#MÖRKTOBER Day 11 - Waterwalk Scales.
These could come in handy, whether out in the wild, or in the streets of Purk. There's plenty of water in Kreisz, and it's safer to cross with dry feet.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 9 - Thorncuffs, finished version.
Used reference for the hands. I think I butchered them enough so they can pass as monster hands. #PURKRPG #ttrpg

#MÖRKTOBER Day 9 - Thorncuffs.
Itching to keep posting but have no time to do a proper entry, so here's my working version.
PCs are usually underpowered compared to the monsters of #PURKRPG, so disablers like the thorncuffs are priceless.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 6 - Husk Brother.
Fell a bit behind, skipping 5 for now, will get to it later.
The sunspawn are some of the most dangerous enemies you can face in #PURKRPG, but these little brothers are an exception. Don't make them call for help.

Nice to see someone thinking of maize as well! Hopefully I'll post my entry tonight.

Rashundai Games @rashundaigames.bsky.social · 5d

Exactly. Too often people forget the "-punk" part. That being said, true "-punk" works shine all the brighter thanks to this.

POCGamer aka PanzerLion! @pocgamer.com · 5d

Why do all these "punk" genres seem to forget that "punk" isn't a synonym for "alternative imaginings". Punk is about fighting back against the status quo in a system where oppression is normalized. And not just fighting back, but making some progress. Punk is fighting for a better tomorrow.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 4 - Howlers.
After mentioning the vastrmen in two entries already, here's another staple of #PURKRPG. It's been a rough week, can't believe I'm still up to date on this.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 3 - Dolkfeld.
Not a bright idea to take as stroll around there.
In Purk RPG the four stats are Brawn, Sleight, Wits, and Vigor.

Underrated gem, a must for fans of Black Isle cRPGs and of authors Glen Cook and Steven Erikson.

Tomorrow is the first day of #MÖRKTOBER. Here's a very WIP teaser for #PURKRPG, just so people know what I'm referring to in my entries. I'll be using the prompts for various aspects of the setting, so you should get a picture before I put everything together into a book.

Brinehaven? Brackenpier? Saltcove? Clinkerbay?

Rashundai Games @rashundaigames.bsky.social · 13d

Judging by the very first revealed art by Jesper Ejsing for what we now know as Lorwyn: First Light, I guess we can also count cervin among kithkin mounts. I'm curious if there will be any more. Some Shadowmoor-exclusive creep-crawly would be nice.

Rashundai Games @rashundaigames.bsky.social · 13d

Since Lorwyn kithkin are the epitome of settled peoples, and Shadowmoor kithkin could hardly work in a party not made exclusively of their doun-brethren, the nomads are a logical choice for any kithkin player character. You sacrifice the thoughtweft for meaningful background, that's a fair trade.

Rashundai Games @rashundaigames.bsky.social · 13d

Last notes on #MTGLorwyn Eclipsed kithkin for now.
Dundoolin still has no doun counterpart. So I guess it stays Dundoolin regardless of aspect.
Cloverdell disappeared. Why?
Bristlebane sounds like a proper name for a doun.
Longlake Clachan lacks the melodic quality one expects from Lorwyn.
