The Dark was my favourite of the magic expansions, its art is amazing. (I also stopped playing Magic before the end of the Millennium, so maybe I’ve missed some better sets? Probably not. 😂)

(materials lesson: while the paper for map 1 and 2 is, probably, the best non-cotton watercolour paper I tried so far, if I do anything my way I still need to go with my usual cotton paper, as my lineart pen doesn't work on pulp paper and doing the lines with fineliners wears the nib very quickly)

Coming back to England is always nice, gives me a chance to catch up with all my old G+ friends. This is a photo of me and Bobby Bastionland, the guy that made your favourite Bastionland game. Hope to see everyone else tomorrow. If I am lucky I’ll see Ignacio Odd, the guy that made Into the Odd.

Agreed: this is a nice and tidy blog post all about the OSR.

I needed small hexmap for a small dreamland today and didn't have Hexkit installed on my phne but had my paints at hand.
(turns out to make hexmaps is much easier than to make a usual maps because there is no need to care about terrain and colour coherency, perspective, overlays and so on)

As definitions of the OSR go, this one is pretty great. (Except Luke’s ego is already so big he doesn’t need another shout out.)
