I am also here at KL Art Book Fair, on the left under the shadow of this tower of games.
Though there is also a cyclone hitting us tonight, and I am low key freaking out.
I love freaking out. It's awesome.
Set up for KL Art Book Fair tomorrow! Hope the rain doesn’t destroy us this weekend. Come by table 98 and say hi and fight me at eraser battle if you want a discount on eraserflag!

In 2025 I will begin publishing Cairn supplements for third parties, under the moniker Cairn Press.

If you're a writer and want help with editing, layout, or printing I should be able to hook you up with the right people.

My goal is to make more Cairn content and get people paid for their work.

"Courtship of Kings, Danglok's Royal Dance"

Redid it an old piece from last year that annoyed and frustrated me so much.

pro-tip: hiring Hodag to illustrate characters, monsters, and action sequences is always a good move

but if you kick it up a notch and ask Hodag to draw a setting, an investigation, or a puzzle? you're in for something *magical*

I love this one because I decided it would be funny to have to a Captain with one soldier, stuck on a ledge, for eternity. Undeath, with its lack of autonomy, plus the added burden of service under a boss that never sleeps, and is constantly in the same physical space as you.

A nightmare!

Every time one of your players casts Charm Person, put "Young Hero" on your random encounter table who journeys to rescue the person so ensorcelled and slay the villain who twisted their mind.
