All right which one of you mentioned The Five Fates? Why is it in the top 5 physical games on Itch? Who did it? Fess up!

One of the first things I did on the game was figure out the tone. I wanted an eerie dark forest that looked like an abyss within. I first did a digital mock-up and then painted it in oil on canvas. I liked the outcome so much that I made it the cover. eucatastrophic.itch.io/downrooted

What is Downrooted about?
It is ostensibly about exploring a dark magical forest. Players will push their luck and go deeper to find greater rewards, and greater dangers. By using a simple depthcrawl system, each excursion is unique. Will you reach the heart of the forest? How deep will you go?

I am Itchfunding my Cairn module in order to pay for editing and get physical copies! I have worked on this game for two years and I would appreciate everyone giving it a look, sharing it around, or even contributing to the fund!
Let's get this game done!

Another in my pastel series. This time, a red-rimmed dune crawler carries cargo across the dust fields.

I don't get much time to make art, so I doodle whenever I get the chance. Here are some ideas that might become pastel paintings in the future.

Here's another pastel exploration. This time, a small spaceport in a crater on a moonlet.

Got the pastels out for something that has been in my head for a while and part of a science-fantasy setting I'm working on.

My realm map, for those interested. One for players and one for me. Hopefully, I'll finish my tapestry tileset soon so that I can recreate the map with it.

The Mythic Bastionland contents page perfectly illustrates my ideal rpg book. Just over 10 pages with all the rules you need to play the game. Over 100 pages of instantly playable and extremely flavourful substance. And as a bonus, an ample section with valuable guidance, commentary, and examples.

What are 4 albums that would serve as an introduction to your musical taste?
This is tricky because tastes aren't static, but heres what mine at at this very moment.

I went back to the drawing board for my Mythic Bastionland hex tiles. I am making tiles directly from the spark tables. 12 land character tiles and 12 water tone tiles so far. Which will then be modified with 12 landscape and 12 texture tiles respectively.

Flashback to a few years ago when I made a lot of pixel fan art for Morrowind.

This is truly an unbelievable milestone. I am grateful that so many people have been interested in my games and adventures. Over half those downloads are for STAR DURF, which motivates me even more to release my sci-fi game.

Anyone playing STRAFTAT? This game is dumb. I love it!

I've added rivers, dry grass, a lake (more to come), and decorative borders to my hex tileset.

I have full blown Mythic Bastionland fever. I went to make a campaign map on Hex Kit and didn't like any of the tilesets I could find, so and starting working on my own. The plan is to do 6 base terrain, 14 biomes (such as the coast seen below), as well as icons for holdings, myths, and landmarks.
