Image is is of creature with light green skin, wearing a tattered brown loincloth, they have corse dark hairi coving much of their bodies with long, black greasy hair. Glowing golden eyes with red pupils, a large nose covered in warts and long arms reaching past their knees with fingers ending in claws

Today we discuss the basilisk. A very complex & often misunderstood creature. It's pertrifying gaze is actually a mistranslation. What they actually possessed was a deadly venom. So fierce it could travel up the spear of a knight that stabbed them killing the knight and it's horse! A deadly chimera

Image shows a chimera that is a mixture of a chicken and a snake with venom dripping from it's fangs. It's feathers a blue/purple colour

Today's fey is the Barguest. Also known the Black Dog, Cwn Annwn, Mauthe Dog, Oude Rode Ogen & many more names. These harbingers of death appear as massive black hounds, with glowing eyes, often drapped with chains. If you see one someone will die. If attacked they can cause wounds that never heal

Image is of a huge hound, with a grey bluish coat. They are leaping through the air and have glowing red eyes. Chains are drapped across their back and shoulders

Who would you like to hear talk about FOLKLORE in #ttrpg?

For our upcoming twitch panel, we're talking myth, legend & folk tales & folk traditions. Who should we invite to the table?

As always priority to PoC, & in the case specifically, to under-represented (or oft-misrepresented) traditions.

Today let's talk about the Banshee. One of the most terribly protrayed creature from Irish folklore. They were not undead, they were a type of elf. Banshee in Irish literally means fairy woman. A messenger of death if you saw a Banshee a family member was going to die. But they were not responsible

Image shows a beautiful raven haired elven maiden in a white dress withi gold decoration at the collar and waist. They are seated on a throne of rough stone. To their right a raven is perched on the arm of the thrown, it's beak and feathers bloody, to her let is a basket of white lillies and she is holding a lily in her right hand. On the back left corner of her stone throne ogham writing has been carved into the stonework

Today's fey could be mistaken for undead but they are not. The bánánaigh from Irish folklore is described as a spectre that appears over battlefields crying out. They would swoop across the heads of warriors giving a terrifying keen which would freeze them in place with fear

A governess of a wealthy family has gone missing to the alarm of many. Several powerful men in the city are particularly interested in her disappearance so the Candela Obscura is involved. Can our circle find her?

Today's fey is the Bagnik, also from Slavic folklore. Described as the most ugly creature in the swamp. They look like an old man, with frog like eyes, a pot belly, green beard & matted hair. They lurk in swamps eating snails waiting for their next victim, overcome by stupifying plants they grow

Today we discuss the Auka, a tiny forest fey described as looking like a plump human. They are tricksters who love to play pranks on humans calling for help who are lost in the woods. Unfortunately this often leads to them getting more lost & dying as the Auka does not understand human fraility

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.
