Looks so good!

Galen Pejeau @nightjargames.bsky.social · 23h

Yes! The way the plot lines evolve if left alone, and also that there's so much going on that you have to leave some things alone?

The way the writing shifts in tone, depending on the area?

The eye-searing color?

Good stuff.

It's good to be back in America's heartland.

One week of incredible food, and then back to the art mines.

It's Mexico. A sunlit street, cinderblock buildings, and street dogs.

I've had to strip down some of those more eclectic mechanics for this version, but the payoff is more worlds, more rockets, and more ways to die heroically in space!

SOLARCRAWL: Fifth planet out from the sun is Scintil, a bast world tree of green canopy that shrouds a steaming, thriving jungle with a freshwater lake glinting at its heart.

Lots of climbing for the Astronauts who land here.

I'll be posting more maps as I make them.

A Little Prince style planet that's a big mangrove-like tree. roots trail after a spherical green canopy that encircles a globular lake of water at its core.

I've had two of my prior players reach out to me this weekend to.. just hang out and chat.

People need other people, and we all have to do our part. (They've been dragoon into my upcoming campaign, and are bringing brownies and such).

This is how we keep it all running.

Someone's going to have to be the first elected executive to risk being jailed for this, and I don't know if any of us can predict the follow-on effects from that.

Huzzah! You all get to see the composition that took soo long to figure out. You can't really find a good model photo for "giant crab man getting danger kisses from a dog" on the old interwebs.

Whoo boy. A large red crab alien, with two huge outer arms, and four smaller torso arms, is carrying three dogs. Two puppies, one on its shell barking at pursuers, and another in one huge claw. The last dog is the mother? Cradled in the smaller arms, and licking the crab-alien on its mouthparts. The crab is wincing slightly with all six eyes. Three drones, alien in origin, are pursuing the group through a winter woods scene.

Just drew this as part of a group shot of cryptids, and my goodness, do I have a silly job.

An extremely hairy, extremely naked man with a wild expression poses next to a jackalope. The jackalope is sitting a atop a stump that has one leaf, strategically placed over the wild man's bits.

All this talk of vampire variants and sexy werewolves, not to mention sexy noir wizards has got me wondering just how much of the old school World of Darkness was just straight lifted from Alan Moore.

Or was the era Just Like That.

Went to water the chickens this morning and scared the hell out of our pumps new tenant.

They were surprisingly chill about being photographed later, so hopefully, there are no hard feelings.

A very serene looking toad. Gray with golden eyes, sitting atop a pump.
