Makers of the BASH! superheroic and Honor + Intrigue swashbuckling tabletop role-playing lines. I'm here to talk about #ttprg #ttrpgdesign #superheroes #pirates and chew bubblegum.

Finally got myself a set of alcohol markers for doing #ttrpg #OC #Art. For today's #inktober theme "Rivals" I decided to pit SCARAB assassin Fatalia Fiore against ACTION Counter Intelligence expert Peregrine.
Working on a #ttrpg #monster book for the Honor + Intrigue #Swashbuckling #RPG, and here is my stablock for the Questing Beast, a monster from Arthurian legend. Thoughts?

Recently I have come across some ttrpg creators who have openly embraced ai and have used ai images (i refuse to call it art) all over their works and if they are willing to compromise their work that much it makes me question if it is all written by ai as well. I can't support it at any rate.
The GM also starts fights using Dragonquest wording. "A slime draws near." If an attack misses, say, "but the slime is dodging"
Here is another #Inktober #OC from my ACTION Agents #ttrpg campaign. The word of the day is "Heavy". Meet Phalanx, the big guy with an extending shield and heavy armor. Nickname: "Jolly Green".
My #inktober submission for "pierce". This is Kensai destroying a SCARAB robot. #OC #art #NoAI
Trivia: Glowworm’s action figure included a sparker in her back that would light up her “strobe medallion” which was affixed to her front. She also had a removable visor to protect her eyes from the light.
Codename: Glowworm, Affiliation: SCARAB
Main Expertise: Night Operations, Secondary: Surveillance
Quote: "You may be lost in the darkness, but it is my home. Allow me to give you the tour!”
It has been a while, but here is another art piece for ACTION Agents. I call this one Glowworm, and she is the Night Operations expert for SCARAB.
#ttrpg #digitalart #OC
Updated version of Valkyrie an #OC #DigitalArt piece from my recent BASH! #ttrpg campaign. This was one of my players' character, a Danish medevac pilot and team medic.
Cleaned up an earlier #OC #art piece; this is Shinobi, the SCARAB ninja.
Do the comics deal with the fact that this was over 50 years ago? The Joes are still relatively young and healthy and current storylines seem to take place in modern day, not the 80s.
You should definitely run this on Christmas Eve!
How important is it to you that a #ttrpg has an official character sheet on #Roll20?
Long time no #art. This is an #OC sketch with the premise being a fantasy pirate captain. This is Dinari Darkfire, captain of the Midnight Moon. I'm not sure if I want the setting to be sea pirates, sky pirates, or aether space pirates yet, though. Which would you rather play a #ttrpg in?
BASH! #superhero #ttrpg Rule idea: Alternative to Keen Senses called "Trained Senses". Instead of +3 Multiplier Bonus you get +10 Result Bonus to the notice check. These would be 1CP each and don't stack with Keen Senses.

What do we think?
Been having fun with my ACTION Agents playtest for BASH! Action Adventure #TTRPG, but now looking to do some other genres. Next will be a darker High Fantasy on High Seas story arc. But this morning I was doodling and came up with this concept #art for a #western #OC:

Basic Action Games has two main #ttrpg product lines. BASH! Is simple superhero RPG (with several spinoff lines) and Honor + Intrigue is a swashbuckling game built in the BoL engine.

Another #ttrpg #OC. This is Eight-Ball, head of SCARAB's elite troops, the SCARAB Beetles. Born with uncanny luck (both good and bad) he became a mercenary after being kicked out of the military for causing an accident that caused millions in damage to government property.
I had a campaign with 10 players. Most sessions I had 5. Only a rare few times did I have 8 or more.
Might I recommend trying a West Marches style campaign? No need to worry about having every single player make it that way. Whoever shows up gets to play that session. Invite more than you expect to come each time.
