What I did today: a shrine to Eurmal the Trickster, for RuneQuest.
The model is from @fenrispublishing.bsky.social & the rabbit is from @badsquirtle.bsky.social. If the fact that I put in a bunny bugs you, of course you realise this means war.
I put some descriptive words in the Alt text.

"Nostalgia is a warping gravity" working hard to be the sentence of the decade, there
Just for any academics, let me be clear, Hookland is anti-nostalgic. It's an exploration and exorcism of my childhood, not a celebration of falsely remembered sunshine. Nostalgia is a warping gravity.

Many adventures from one RPG system can easily be ported into other RPGs.
