Gender Roles aren't really a thing in Matlaktlome. Gender exists, because the Kyma are a mostly-human fantasy race and there are some humans too, but it isn't considered to decide or limit your social role.
Except for the Tetocani, where the genders: Queen, Prince and Myrmidon🧵

Another Saturday means another example of modifying art released into the creative commons. But first, lets get to the artist on whose work I have attempted to build. This time, it's an artist named Deadpoolrus who created a sci-fi Kaiju setting - with some very fantasy art.🧵

We have four mains at the moment - One very used to high society, having been a sacrifice to a war god and therefore held in honor, another from low society, the third a rainforest dweller with no social status, and the fourth an explorer from afar still finding their place.

While browsing Itch.io, I came across another collection that points to some of the best available free resources on the site.

RatGrrrl has put a lot of effort into collecting a huge number of creative works, for which I thank them.

Social classes in Matlaktlome vary a lot, depending on what culture you're looking at.
Many in the region don't even think of them - within the rainforest itself there are many groups that just live their lives as equals, with no private property or non-descriptive titles.🧵

Today I'm drawing on another Itch.io source, and as is common over there it has a unique license. So I'd like to clarify my rules are for what's sufficiently free to mention here. You must be:
1) Free to edit the images.
2) Able to use them in your own commercial writing/games🧵

Matlaktlome is the product of two pushes - Firstly, a fascination with the culture and mythology of the south american continent, and secondly playing in 13th Age's Dragon Empire setting and wondering just what was off the edges of the map - and deciding to expand it southward

Two weeks into this and I'm reaching towards stranger pastures, because I want to put up repeating myself as much as possible. This one is particularly strange, but equally striking. Made for the #CreativeCommons horror project, the SCP Foundation Wiki scp-wiki.wikidot.com

Today it's a type of fantasy monster that I like, but I know isn't to everyone's tastes: Artistic interpretations of ancient animals!
Accurate or inaccurate, they're definitely not things people will have actually encountered, and that's enough for me to count T-Rex as fantasy.🧵

The player characters have several links to The Bloodstained Priest, and therefore access to the powers of the gods - as long as they are prepared to make the proper sacrifice to allow the gods into the world.

The biggest problem for the current group in Matlaktlome is the long arms of The Rat King, a psychic gestalt entity composed of tailed Kyma (aka Shifters, Nagual or Beastfolk) who tie their tails together to link their minds.🧵

This is one of those cases where one source contains a huge variety of potential - 208 images, all commissioned by Chamomile Has Games for their game Dark Lord.

Beyond the mountains is a great desert - inhospitable, and therefore unguarded against outside powers.🧵

The City/Altepetl is a wonder of the world, an artificial mountain of onyx and granite that sits in the middle of the great river. While living within makes it easy to forget the wonder, those who live around it, or fish in its waters, are constantly reminded of its grandeur.

The Tetocani, the insectoid race invading Matlaktlome, just arrived one day on an island off the coast. No-one knows why or how, though there is speculation. Several theories will be presented - travel from a distant land, hibernation, a reality fragment from a past world.🧵

Can't find any further information on the artist - they seem to no longer use either name.
So today I've been at this for a week, and have finally reached the day I intended to start on - and I want to announce something. From now on, every saturday will include something that I am adding to the corpus of free art. This will be an edit, as I still can't draw.🧵

I'm Ste, part of Artemis Games, and I'm currently undergoing treatment for my ADHD that will hopefully help me focus on one project for a while.
With that in mind, I'm working on Matlaktlome, a South and Meso-american themed region for use in TTRPGs, especially #13thAge.🧵

Before I get into the actual drop for today though, I'd like to talk about the different types of Free you'll find on there.
DriveThruRPG has a huge amount of Stock Art that's got unique, non-standard, licenses🧵

Either way, thanks for making cool art :-)

Today's links come from a treasure trove of #art that I found for the first time... today.
See, I intended to post something from DriveThruRPG - it's a good source, and I'll get around to talking about it - but one of the things there drew on a source I didn't know: Sketchfab.🧵
