A visual representation of Sola's Curse mentioned in Exquisite Corpse episode 14. This was drawn by the incredible @chenanigans.bsky.social!

#ttrpg #actualplay #pathfinder2e #podcast #pf2e #exquisitecorpse

An x-ray view of Sola, an anthropomorphic frog with a Sunflower growing from her head and goggles on her face. The x-ray shows that the roots of her Sunflower have embedded themselves in and around her brain, partway down her spine, and throughout her necrotised arm. It seems to be feeding off the rot in her arm. She lies or floats against a purple background with thorns and vines meant to evoke rot and toxins.

Doing a lil’ editing this morning for @1000yearspath.bsky.social and remembered this poem that I sometimes think about when I think about Balsam and his lantern.

the lesson of the moth by Don Marquis | The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor

'the lesson of the moth' by Don Marquis, and the literary and historical notes for Tuesday, July 29, 2003.

Sola and Olí are besties. I really enjoy their sibling-like bond.
#chen-art #pathfinder #tripkee #elf

Sola and Olí sit on a couch together. Olí is grinning while wearing Sola's glasses saying "Dude, your glasses are HUGE!!!" with a mildly annoyed Sola responding and reaching up to him saying "Yeah, yeah... Give 'em back."

Sola is a small, green anthro glass frog with yellow spots, golden brown eyes, and a sunflower attached to her head. Her right arm is purple with pink tips and spots. She's wearing an oversized tshirt that says "Love Bug" on it with some ladybug art.

Olí is a tall elf with blue freckled skin, a white bell with blue freckles/stripes, white coily hair in a ponytail, and magenta eyes. He's wearing a black tshirt, gray sweatpants, and blue-indigo slippers.

A comic. Panel 1: Sola putting some hair cream in Olí's hair. He stares back at her, asking her "How are you so good at this?" with Sola proudly responding "I learned a lot as a nurse."

Panel 2: Olí with his hair in twists looking excitedly at a mirror. There are sparkles around him.

Panel 3: Olí scooping Sola up in a hug squishing his cheek against hers. She's laughing and saying "C'mon, get off of me, man!"

Olí throwing a pillow in Sola's face in Sola's room. She was preparing to throw one back at him. He's wearing an indigo hair bonnet in this.

Sola and Olí singing terribly in Oli's room. Sola's standing on Olí's bed and has her arms outstretched as she sings. Olí is holding her waist to keep her from falling over while sitting on the bed also singing.

Meet Gar-field, Lachryma Times' beloved Catfish mascot! His smiling face on the front page of the paper lets everyone know it'll be another incredible issue!

(He hates Mondays because that's the one day the paper doesn't run and he loves his job)

#ttrpg #actualplay #podcast #pf2e #exquisitecorpse

An image of a cartoon character on a white background reading "I Hate Mondays". This character is an anthropomorphic Cat/fish hybrid. He's sea green and has a cathfish's tail, back fin, and whiskers. He wears a peach and white striped sleeping cap, a peach and white striped pajama shirt, no pants, and brown slippers that resemble cartoon rats. He holds a steaming blue mug of coffee in one hand and looks tiredly at the viewer.
