That sentence is literally how I live life.

Hah, I guess I missed that it says that right on the box! Doh!

That’s cool. I may need to get one of the versions at some point. Great system.

Thanks!

Played over the weekend. Great game, and the campaign system seems fun!

I just played Mythic Battles: Pantheon for the first time over the weekend, but looks like a different edition in your photos. Is that the original 2012 one?

Hey, I can help with this one!

I do a "lessons learned" write-up after each in-person event for Exeunt Press. You can start here, and the others are linked: omnes.exeunt.press/p/lessons-sa...

Technically starts right now, but includes the orders I shipped today. 😉

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 8: WIZARD

"His distended body bulges with swallowed starlight. He has not spoken in over a year. When he opens his mouth it is blinding. He could leave if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to."

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se

WIZARD
Album: Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other (2023)

MELVUNG THE STARVED has been bound to the monolith for three years. The runes carved into the stone mirror the scars he carved into his own flesh in younger, more lucid days.

Every night the stars fall. He catches them in his mouth, swallows them, lets them burn channels through his organs. Each contains a fragment of something vast that would force its way into the world. Each one he consumes is one less breach in the fragile flesh of reality.

His distended body bulges with swallowed starlight. He has not spoken in over a year. When he opens his mouth it is blinding.

He could leave if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to.

If freed against his will he screams silently, and the stars begin to fall faster.

MELVUNG THE STARVED
HP 14 No Armour
Defence DR 16 (reality bends around him)
Cannot attack while his hands are bound.
Once per day: Vomit starlight in a 20’ cone (ignores armour, d10 damage, Test Presence DR14 or become obsessed with the voices behind the falling stars)

Art shows an illustration of a wizard bound to a monolith as stars fall around him.

Quite a few connections to other prompts later in the month. Curious to see where this goes! 🤔 💫

I would happily do an introvert month. 😆

Over a week into #MÖRKTOBER! How are we feeling?

Got my notebook set up for the upcoming daily prompts…

I like the idea of a wizard not being explicit and flashy with magic. I’d want this one to be subtle, almost to the point of it not being clear if they can actually do magic or not.

On the seventh day of #Mörktober, the shards cut deep (for Pirate Borg; text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social):

A sketch of an 18th century women's coiffure made of pieces of broken glass with the text "The Crystalline Coiffure: Impossibly crafted from shards of broken glass. Captivating, reflective, and sharp. The wearer's reaction rolls are rolled with 3d4 instead of 2d6."
