This one?

(Full text is in alt, images were the only way to get it on here, lol)
‘But this is terrible!’ cried Frodo. ‘Far worse than the worst that I imagined from your hints and warnings. O Gandalf, best of friends, what am I to do? For now I am really afraid. What am I to do? What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!’ ‘Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.’ ‘I am sorry,’ said Frodo. ‘But I am frightened; and I do not feel any pity for Gollum.’ ‘You have not seen him,’ Gandalf broke in. ‘No, and I don’t want to,’ said Frodo. ‘I can’t understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds? Now at any rate he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death.’ ‘Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many – yours not least. In any case we did not kill him: he is very old and very wretched. The Wood-elves have him in prison, but they treat him with such kindness as they can find in their wise hearts.’ ‘But this is terrible!’ cried Frodo. ‘Far worse than the worst that I imagined from your hints and warnings.

Yeah. I found a good pair of graphs. First is US birth rate. It is generally declining (24 in 1950 to 12 in 2025). But the important thing to remember is that infant mortality (second graph) has also dropped dramatically (31 in 1950 to 5 in 2025), leaving a generally stable population over all.

Their life cycle is wild, in that (green, brown, and yellow) create seeds that they then plant for two years which produce a fruit, which is a baby aldryami. Red bury themselves when they die and sprout tiny versions of themselves.

So, a lighly edited 2nd version of Senestra (after finding all the different options I missed the first time around). The second is my wife's Yelornan, Senestra's wife. A little edit goes a long way 😀

Made my wife's character's wife. She's going to adore this, lol. Small festure request, would it be possible to get a hairstyle with shaved sides (like a mohawk/fauxhawk)? Her character has what we call a "horse mane" Grazelanders style haircut :D. Regardless, this is awesome!

And, probably my all-time favorite, Abral Ajmar, of Werewolf the Forsaken fame. Adore the pencil sketch details. Just amazing

I have several. A big one right now is Katrin Dirim, who has done a lot of work in the most recent version of Glorantha.

Not sure the origin (a friend shared on discord, but I had to share with the Gloranthaphiles. Confirmation of Ducks in an upcoming Pendragon expansion?

Newest arrival. Never played/run BESM before, but since my wife and I met on a Sailor Moon message board in the late 90s, I couldn't imagine *not* grabbing this, lol.

RuneQuest Roleplaying in Glorantha, showing a myriad of gods and heroes descending from the sky. The central figure is Orlanth, a blue-skinned god with a glowing bronze sword and flowing red hair. Shadowrun 4e, showing a troll, elf, dwarf, and a human. The human is standing watch, the dwarf is hacking a terminal, the troll is casting a spell, and the elf looks ready to spring into action

I'm weird. I generally prefer very simple covers. Not generally into scenes or characters, because that usually narrows my interpretation of the world, and any good setting is going to be hard to encapsulate in just one image.
The One Ring 2e collectors edition. A red leatherette with gold foil embossed designs reminicent of Tolkien's own sketches Mage the Awakening 1e, a blue-green underwater scene showing a broken pillar Hero System 5e, a black background with a green human shape in a grey hex, reminiscent of the DaVinci painting Eberron 5e collector's edition, showing an art deco city with an airship flying overhead.

Mythras has one, but mostly its RQ doing homage to RQ (RQG quickstart, for instance)

My Secrets of Sarlona is at a friend's house, so that is all I'm missing (I don't collect the adventures, I don't tend to use them)

My physical collection. I sadly sold all my Shadowrun stuff a decade ago in a fit of "I'm over this and will never run it again"... but I've gotten it all in PDF through digital bundles, etc.

So, moving a bit further into the city section. Trying to think about what I would find useful in each location and tools that I might need when running. Never tried integrating random tables like this, but I've been inspired by some of the #OSR stuff I've read recently.

Expanding my "Under a Blood-red Sun" setting booklet, specifically the section dealing with the actual city. The map is a place holder until I can make a better one, but this is the two-page spread starting the Upper City section. I plan on having a random table like this for each location.
