A photo of a page from my campaign book. It shows the overworld map, also available as a poster, and an explanation of the sandbox structure. A photo showing the colorful page borders that make each chapter easy to find in the book. A photo showing two pages from the statblock section of chapter 6. Three statblocks of different types of succubi are arranged beside an illustration of one. A photo of my campaign book, showing the statblock section of chapter 5. A golden bookmark ribbon is visible next to an illustration of ancient, fog-shrouded ruins.

Contemplating the snow today with Catyana ❄️
A photo showing a white and brown cat looking at the snow-covered floor of a balcony. Only her head is visible from the back. There are foot and paw prints in the snow.

Went out to take some photos of locations for my #VtM game today
Messed around with this one, I'm not used to painting over photos so this was fun to try
A painted over photo I took today at św. Gertrudy street in the Kraków old town at night. A shrine with a lantern inside is seen in the center, framed by tall, dark trees. A shadowy figure was painted on, looking up at the light of the lantern. The street lamps provide a warm yellow glow.

The gang is fighting (but not really)
My players requested an artist's rendition so I obliged
#VtM
A rough sketch showing two characters squabbling in the foreground and another staring blankly at the viewer in the background. The character on the left, labeled "clueless", is angrily reaching up to the one on the right, labeled "too old for this", who is holding a silver ring out of his reach and staring back coldly. The character in the back, labeled "burdened with knowledge", is currently receiving divine insight and wondering if he is the second coming of Jesus.

Physical copies are in stock only on my Ko-fi shop! 📦

The cover of my campaign book. It reads "Heart of Darkness. A 5th edition campaign for levels 1-4. Written and illustrated by Viktor "Navypink" Sych". The cover illustration shows five characters - a sorceress, a vampire, a shadowy horned figure, and two elves. The background is a surreal rocky landscape drawn by barnswallow.bsky.social. A photo of an open booklet for the Black Lilies adventure. There is a table of contents, an introduction, and a town map.

I consider my VtM prep officially done 🙌
I have four pages of inserts for my GM screen and a two-page rule summary for my players to check during the game
A photo of an open folder on my desk. Inside are a few pages. The page visible on top has two columns of text and tables in Polish.

The gang is all here ahead of my first session of #VtM
Anyone wanna guess the clans? 👀
A simple sketch of four characters so far: a woman, a man, a middle-aged man accompanied by a cat, and a young non-binary person. The woman wears black tracksuit pants, combat boots, and a gray hoodie. Her curly black hair is tied in a high ponytail. She crosses her tattooed arms. The first man is short and thin and wears an oversized brown coat. His black hair is tied in a messy ponytail. He has a slight smile. The second man wears a suit with a blood red jacket and black dress pants and shirt. His long dark hair and short beard are graying. He holds a surgeon's scalpel in his bloodied hand. The person beside him wears a jacket, pants, and a sweater with a dark academia aesthetic. Their messy hair is light brown and shoulder length. They wear glasses and carry a brown backpack.

The team slowly assembles ahead of the first session ❤️‍🔥

(Do you guys mind me posting about this game? I feel like it's better than radio silence and I'm pretty invested in it rn)

I love how running #VtM allows me to indulge in a little editing magic to make reference images for my players ✨
A photo of some graffiti on a wall in Kraków, Poland, taken by Anna Kaczmarz for Dziennik Polski. The same photo edited to appear as though it was taken at night. A new graffiti was added onto the wall, showing five asterisks above a simplified logo of clan Tremere from Vampire the Masquerade.

One does not run a #VtM 2e chronicle in Kraków without including the dragon 🐉

Finally received the last materials I needed to make my new GM screen
Wanted something suited for modern or horror games and not just DnD and I'm pretty happy with how it came out
Might spray paint some more patterns on the outside later, but I kind of like this simplistic look
A photo of my new GM screen, showing its external side. It is solid black and black tape with golden patterns runs along the borders. A photo of the internal side of my new GM screen. A transparent sleeve for paper inserts is taped to the screen using that same decorative tape from the previous image.

Two days ago I went on DTRPG to get some more #VtM books and realized that I had 16$ in my account from a oneshot I published 4 years ago so I got these for free 🥹
I also have some Dark Ages materials that I really want to dig through
A DriveThruRPG screenshot showing 6 Vampire the Masquerade books. Clanbook:Tremere (1e), Erciyes Fragments (Dark Ages), Ghouls: Fatal Addiction, The Monsters: 5e quickstart, Vampire Players Guide (2e), and Vampire The Masquerade core rulebook (2e).

Now that the KS is over and I can stop being professional

Man, the urge to write self-indulgent fics of my favorite ships from the campaign book (that would contain canon events which the book alludes to but I won't share them 🥲)
I started one a while ago but didn't even get to their first meeting
An illustration of an elf sat upon an elaborate throne held up by two statues of succubi in a throne room resembling a medieval cathedral. He has white skin and hair, with some parts of his skin being covered in golden scales and others being black with golden veins. He has three pairs of mismatched horns on his head. He wears black and white robes with golden jewelry. Beside the throne are two other characters: a red-haired elf with a scarred face and a tiefling in heavy armor wielding a zweihander sword.

In case you're confused, this is how the actual graph looks when taking into account only pledges that would have gone through
With just 75% of the funding goal, I wouldn't have the funds necessary to publish the adventure at the quality that I promised to backers
Expect more updates on this soon
A simple graph showing the percentage of the funding goal raised throughout my three Kickstarter campaigns: the cancelled December one, the successful May one, and the now-cancelled October one, which ended on a flat line of 75%.

Here's the Kickstarter update I promised
Even though crowdfunding won't be successful, I still plan to publish the adventure and you can read all about the how, where, and when of it in this one ✨

Three illustrations of the same character showing the drawing process. On the left, she wears purple and brown clothes and holds up both hands to cast a fire and water spell. She has glistening serpentine scales on her face and shoulders. The middle and right illustrations show an updated design of the character, where she instead has small bird wings at her hips and a golden and burgundy outfit instead. She still casts the same spells with both hands. The middle illustration is not yet shaded, while the one on the right is finished.

Hello #PortfolioDay, I'm a writer and artist from Poland working on adventures for my #ttrpg setting ✨
I love drawing elves, queer people, and overly complicated fashion 🌈

You know the niche horror genre where the characters board a deserted ship and it's immediately clear that something is *very* wrong there? I'm thinking of movies like Triangle (2009) or the game Man of Medan

(I also played House of Ashes right before writing this which is pretty apparent)
Theatrical poster for the 2009 British-Australian movie "Triangle", showing an axe-wielding woman aboard an empty ship and a masked figure reflected in a pool of blood below. A screenshot from the 2021 game "House of Ashes", from The Dark Pictures anthology of horror games. A lit brazier sheds light on a blood-splattered wall adorned with a relief of a winged figure with a bird's head wielding a knife.

What consuming #VtM lore does to a mf

(Kraków is a Tremere stronghold in my mind, yes I'm making my own lore)
A series of images from top to bottom. 1. The logo of "Magical Cracow", the official website of the city of Kraków. 2. The logo of "Magical Cracow": an outline of the streets surrounding the medieval market square, only one of which is diagonal. 3. The clan Tremere logo from Vampire the Masquerade V5 overlaid atop the former. 4. The clan Tremere logo overlaid atop a screenshot from google maps showing the areas beneath the triangle in the top right side of the logo, where the triangle is at the end of the diagonal street from the previous images.
