Yeah, and then for RPG's licensed art cards I had to find 90 cards from their previous sets that suited Everway. Not easy, and the results were not perfect.
I can't really answer your question about your art bec it depends on the vibe you're trying to achieve.

That's where the cave fisher first appeared, I think. It looks a lot like the sort of creature one could build from the Eeeeks! set from Mattel, so I wonder if it's another monster inspired by a toy, like the rust monster, owlbear, and bullette.

Reminds me of my days back in the 90s trying to get artists to do proper art for Everway, and it wasn't easy. Artists commonly sexed up the female figures, one artist submitted white women when dark-skinned women were in the art order, and another artist outright refused to depict Black characters.

yeah, don't let kids read the rulebook maybe, but the setting is built to maximize the "everything is secretly weird" possibilities

even the everburning power of oxygen proved to be no match for the ingenuity of natural selection, and our ancestors made big deadly oxygen into our little bitch

Tickled to see Arduin & 13th Age on the same list! I'm currently playing a "magic-user" in a 13th Age Arduin campaign called "Arduin Blessed Arduin". "Blessed" means "splattered with blood". Another player is running a "hobbit". Good times. @robheinsoo.bsky.social & I like Arduin, and it shows.

My daughter lives in Pasadena and is grateful that the Burbank airport flies straight to Seattle. Her friends all know that no one is going to pick anyone else up at LAX. Friendship is one thing, but LAX is another. I went through there once and wandered around to take in the dysfunction. Boy howdy!

Falling asleep is the final comment.
Again, it's like drinking too much at a party. Maybe it's best to just fall asleep.

I mean, somebody's got to talk about selection bias!
And I don't want to be that somebody, so thanks for your service.

For one edition in particular, someone told the marketing people "R&D thinks we need a new edition" and told the R&D people "marketing thinks we need a new edition". We got that new edition, all right!

I remember watching Revenge of the Sith and thinking, why did I do this to myself again? It was like the feeling where you're at a party and you realize that you've drunk too much and now all you can do is wait for the toxin to work its way out of your system. Not a good feeling.

They asked what prompts a publisher to do a new edition of D&D, and I didn't say, sometimes it's hubris. I got to talk about de-gendering the D&D monsters that are female in folklore, such as the lamia, so that was fun. Also, RPGs foster creativity the way that few other corporate products do. 2/2
