Transplanar RPG 🏳️‍⚧️✨ @transplanarrpg.bsky.social · 7d

As trans creators of color, we’re always on the lookout for cool projects by fellow marginalized artists.

The Black Market Guide to Immortality offers a decadently necromantic setting based on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese mythos — and it’s made by East Asian folks!

💀 bit.ly/BlackMarketGuide 💀

ALT: A Way of Transcendence monk sits cross-legged atop a throne of red flesh that unfurls from the unzipped backs of six headless worshipers arranged in a circle underneath them, facing outward, like an organic flower in bloom. The monk is lithe and lean, the top half of their head covered in a flower-like fleshy crown with four staring eyes. Their mouth is visible and smirking. Sleek fleshy armor adorns their torso, shoulders, forearms, and legs in a dark blue color, with exposed organic flesh in a pale white shade. Six small wings unfurl from their back, forming a lotus blossom shape with staring red eyes that point in various directions. Text at the bottom reads: “The Monk. Evolution, immortality, perfection. Maeters.”

Quick open-ended poll…

What is your political/social “red line?” At what point will you look at the corrupt US government and say “that’s it, time to fight or flee?”

My red line is if we have an election that is not free and fair due to active meddling or coercion by the administration.

Get off Tiktok when the sale goes through and you should have been off X by now. Algorithms are conditioning tools.

I've extended the 'Explorers Bundle' which is ALL strangehollow books in one on Kickstarter. It's been so popular I had to open it up for more (and will need to print more Secrets Of Strangehollow to do so!). Thanks everyone so much! www.kickstarter.com/projects/art... #art #artbook #folklore #book

white background and four colourful books laid on top of each other. A green one with 'strangehollow' on the title, a grey one with 'secrets of strangehollow' on the cover, a blue one with 'seas of strangehollow' on the cover and the final one, pink and green with 'savage strangehollow' on the cover
