Hi there! 👋 I'm Deid; connoisseur of elves, vampires, and old fantasy games/anime/books. I'm an indie author of fantasy novels and occasionally I also do art. On this account you can expect a lot of old games, pretty men, and birds.

I also have a hub for the other places where I exist! 🔮

Hi everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates. There is a *lot* to go over, and not just for Lost Kefin stuff! So let's start!

Lost Kefin is progressing well! I got graphics reinsertion going very smoothly! This is in big thanks to Etokapa's work with editing the images.

Looking forward to this sickness being over and being back to 100% (or roughly there), because I am antsy to get back to creative works and studying, now that I have my dedicated desk for that

Fatal Labyrinth, Adventure Island. There might be others, but those two are off the top of my head

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Den Beauvais' vampiric illustration sets the scene for readers in a 1994 ad for Strahd's Possession, an RPG for PCs by DreamForge set in TSR's tabletop horror setting of Ravenloft

It had also previously appeared on the cover of 1992's Ravenloft sourcebook, Van Richten's Guide to Vampires!

Strahd's Possession

Unmask and defeat Strahd, one of the most nefarious of all gothic horror char- acters, or you'll never escape the terror of the AD&D RAVENLOFT game world!

Presented in High Resolution 320 x 400 256-color VGA, STRAHD'S POSSESSION delivers twice the quality of VGA without the cost of a Super-VGA card! So you experience gothic horror role-playing at its best in this visually stunning game.

Bask in the glow of an exceptionally large 3-D gaming window. Explore bone- chilling dungeons. Challenge 30 authentic RAVENLOFT game world creatures. Cast over 60 mage and priest spells. Let auto- mapping keep track of your travels with maps that print-complete with any notes you made on them along the way.

All this plus a haunting musical score and digitized sound effects will keep you on edge for hours and hours! Just be careful, things get pretty eerie when the sun sets!

Available for IBM & Compatibles on 3.5" disks and Enhanced CD-ROM.

The cover of Ravenloft: Van Richten's Guide to Vampires (1992)

Ravenloft was the name of TSR's gothic horror inspired tabletop campaign world where classic monsters and more inhabited a prison-like demiplane split into separate regions each ruled by a powerful and tragic darklord. For example, the vampire lord, Strahd von Zarovich, rules over a land called Barovia which has been made a part of the Demiplane of Dread.

Van Richten, for his part, was a scholar and monster hunter whose name graced the covers of supplements like this one describing the horrors he had encountered in more intimate detail.

As it is, I'm shocked she only has the one art book from a major publishers. For how iconic her art is, you'd think she'd have at least another one!

This is why I want a new art book to get released 😭 There's more she did since the last one! I want to see it all!

The dumbest part of biphobia is when ppl say “that person is betraying their queerness by dating someone who isn’t the same gender” and “why are so many bisexuals not in gay relationships!!!” babe, only 3-10% of the total population on earth is queer and the majority of that number is bisexual.
