Getting further with the Character Role layout for Chromatic Shadows Core. Most of the final art is in place, slowly working through the pregen character stat blocks. I want to make it as easy as possible to just grab one of these operators and jump into a game. #occult #cyberpunk #ttrpg

Few more small upgrades to the Chromatic Shadows sheet. Boxes for "pharma agents", health for vehicles, drones & decks, and a reference for determining resistance pools for devices & vehicles. #occult #cyberpunk #ttrpg

Another diamond in the rough from 4th Edition D&D: Vor Rukoth "ancient ruins adventure site". This was peak 4e as far as I'm concerned.

Work in progress from Chromatic Shadows Core, grabbed from the "character role" chapter. Fun detail--all of the commissioned character art here is based on existing PCs. The blank column is going to be a pregen you can play right away. Art by Ross Hayes. #occult #cyberpunk #scifi #indie #ttrpg

Pulling together resources for a west marches style D&D 4e game set in the Chaos Scar. There's some real gems buried in these (not so) old issues of Dungeon.

Just scored a mint copy of Hammerfast, and I've been enjoying a slow read through. It's a sweet little module. The slipcover booklet and fold out battle map is classic. A definite 4e highlight.

Laying down the final graphic design for 'downtime phases' and that's it for the appendix. Design edits on the intro adventure next. Looking forward to a full working draft of Chromatic Shadows Core by New Years.

Since my Friday night D&D group (sadly) doesn’t want to try 4e, I'm just gonna convert the Netir Vale/ Points of Light setting (and some adventures) over to 5th edition. Prepping the Slaying Stone, which turns out, is an exceptional little treasure hunt-sandbox.

Current draft of the revised Chromatic Shadows character sheet. Any strong feelings on the use of "dots" for attributes and skills?

The crux of Chromatic Shadows game-play is the asymmetric ways you can tackle a cyberpunk mission. Shooting, hacking, drones, mechanics, medicine, driving, etc. It's built on a foundation of tactical and mechanically coherent subsystems. The occult stuff is extra fun on top.

Yeah, this is good. Bestiary that's also a regional setting guide. Each entry puts the monsters on the map in an immediately gameable context. Monsters as regional threats, factions, story hooks. Dare I say "old school" in its approach?

Couple of (in-progress) spreads from the Factions chapter in Chromatic Shadows Core. Most notable update is the inclusion of npc stat blocks for each of the faction types. #occult #cyberpunk #ttrpg
