The Korean version of Undying Corruption has been updated to include Arcs 1 and 2. We're hoping to finish translation of Arc 3 by around November. Things are moving apace.

Teasing out the idea, but would folks be interested if we did more nsfw stuff? Mainly queer-friendly lewd stuff to explore that aspect of worldbuilding. BG3 would be kind of a guiding star in this regard.

Hanba, Goddess of Drought WIP
Former water goddess, daughter of the heavenly emperor, the traumas of the war of gods reversed her divinity. Now a drought goddess, she wanders the world, unable to return to the heavens, feared and unloved. #dnd #pf2e #Pathfinder2e

Hanba WIP
Long haired woman in tattered black dress carrying a torn umbrella with a long, multi-eyed, emaciated serpentine dragon curling around her. Her face appears dried mummified which stretches down her shoulder and engulfs her arm and leg.

As trans creators of color, we’re always on the lookout for cool projects by fellow marginalized artists.

The Black Market Guide to Immortality offers a decadently necromantic setting based on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese mythos — and it’s made by East Asian folks!

💀 bit.ly/BlackMarketGuide 💀

ALT: A Way of Transcendence monk sits cross-legged atop a throne of red flesh that unfurls from the unzipped backs of six headless worshipers arranged in a circle underneath them, facing outward, like an organic flower in bloom. The monk is lithe and lean, the top half of their head covered in a flower-like fleshy crown with four staring eyes. Their mouth is visible and smirking. Sleek fleshy armor adorns their torso, shoulders, forearms, and legs in a dark blue color, with exposed organic flesh in a pale white shade. Six small wings unfurl from their back, forming a lotus blossom shape with staring red eyes that point in various directions. Text at the bottom reads: “The Monk. Evolution, immortality, perfection. Maeters.”

We’re just under 10 dollars from 117k!! If we get to 120k, we’ll have more treats and it’ll put us in a better position to comfortably deliver on everything. A win win!!

In a sea of TTRPG crowdfunders run by white people that shamelessly steal and profit from Asian culture, the Black Market Guide is a MUCH needed breath of fresh air. Now more than ever, we need to support Asian art made by Asian people.

I had to cave and finally back Black Market today. I've been following them since Undying Corruption was just a dream and some very cool concept art. UC is even on the list of recommended resources in #GMBPPP!
