#Dragonmeet on Saturday! I will be present at stall K28 with hard copies of Crucible, Threadcutters, and most other things I make.

Finally the YOUTH is a playbook about having loads of potential and very little control.

Clearly they are MAGIKARP, but one that's too high level for you to command with the gym badges you have.

The SCHOLAR is a playbook who spends a lot of time making plans and generally doing very little, only to occasionally put those plans into action for huge results.

Their representative is SLOWBRO, a poke which spends a lot of time doing nothing and then you go "Wait, I lost to *that?*"
November 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
The SERVANT is the least powerful playbook, who mostly spends their time setting up other people -- in all senses of 'set up'.

To represent them I have chosen MR MIME, a poke who functions best when used to set up others. (Also, who looks like he might be living in your walls.)

The PRODIGY is the mirror of the Mighty, but with supernatural power. They wield vast and mighty magic (or psionics, or superpowers, or...) but somehow that just can't solve their problems.

Represented here by ALAKAZAM, the matching psychic version of the Mighty's machamp.
November 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
The MIGHTY is a character with unbeatable physical power and almost no ability to solve problems they can't hit.

So I picked MACHAMP, the most one-note physical poke in gen I.

The GOLDEN is a playbook who has everything -- the looks, the money, the special treatment -- but is still missing something on the inside.

Obviously this has to be series mascot PIKACHU, the pokemon that gets all the special treatment yet still just isn't very good.
November 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
The FAITHFUL, as I mentioned earlier, believes in something greater than themselves and draws on the strength that gives them in order to achieve the impossible.

I picked NINETALES because ninetales is sort of mystical, sort of tied to a higher power, and one of my favourites. Yes, it's a reach.
November 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
The FADING is on the way out, one way or another: dying, or losing their powers, or two days from retirement, or something. They're running on empty for this one last job.

So naturally we're going VOLTORB, a poke known for killing itself in order to bring harm to others.
November 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
The DUTIFUL is a playbook about having a duty that you're going to fail at. For your paladins, upright soldiers, and so on.

Obviously the Pokemon that covers this trope is METAPOD: a poke whose only purpose is to stick around long enough to become butterfree and take a kicking in the process.
November 22, 2025 at 4:08 PM
The CARETAKER is a playbook where the lion's share of your energy is poured into looking after and/or doing the will of someone or something else. It covers Lone Wolf and Cub or Agent Smith of the Bureau or, here, KANGASKHAN. The Pokemon that takes its kid with it everywhere.

I don't normally spend a lot of time in the character creator for games, but Where Winds Meet has got Options.

Please don't.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

I will also have CLIVE but he is not for sale.
November 17, 2025 at 11:34 AM
Less than two weeks until #Dragonmeet !

I will be there at stall K28 with hard copies of the brand new hotness THREADCUTTERS and CRUCIBLE for all your occult assassin and/or solo roguelike needs.
November 17, 2025 at 11:29 AM
In case you were wondering this livery is called "Sick Transit, Gloria".

Self pity backer spike! Wooooo?

Hmm.

In lieu of marketing today I have made a mockup of Gravity using the cover drawn by @sarahmason.art and a Photoshop template from Cover Vault, I believe.

Don't you want to know what excellent words are hidden within the pink void?
