Marvach artwork by the amazing Siman Vlaisavljević

Marvach is derived from "marbh ach", meaning "dead, but", and these creatures are inspired by the legend of the Hungry Man that arose in Ireland during the Great Hunger (what's known as the Potato Famine)

Looking for a new undead threat for your #dnd campaign? Look no further! The Marvach are rage filled husks whose souls have been ripped from their bodies. They stalk Tír Nascath looking to unleash their anger on anyone foolish enough to venture Beyond The Woods.

With the Beyond the Woods playtest now with backers, we can share some of the wonderful new art! These two amazing pieces were created by the fantastic @lauragalliart.bsky.social

We have a Baloran mother and her adorable demon baby, and a happy (and hungry) Púca!

Thank you!

Oh hey that's me!

Yeah!! It’s #PortfolioDay!!

I’m Álvaro Jiménez, illustrator from Spain with more years of experience than I would like to admit :__)

Here is my linktr.ee/alvarojimenezh and a little sample of my work!

🔥🔥🔥

1000%

And there are loads of options out there, for all budgets. Public domain art and photography, commercial art packs on Itch, low cost Patreons.

Just something for #TTRPG designers out there: saying "we used AI cause we couldn't afford art" doesn't cut it. You are not entitled to art in your project. How would you react to an artist getting ChatGPT to fart out an RPG system and then publishing it?

If you ever work somewhere where they say they're more like family, remember: that's what Shredder said.

The original toxic work environment.

I was paid when I worked for them. Apology, I won't hold my breath 😂

Cheers Rich. All good. Thought I was past all of it, but it stung more than expected.

Thanks Sarah, appreciate it.

An update on those for those finding it later, I have since been added to the Writing and Design credits. Which is something at least

I have since been added to "Writing and Design" in the credits.

Quick update: Thanks to the kindness and persistence of a former colleague, I have been added to the "Writing and Design" credits. Which is something at least.

No-one is a nobody, don't be daft! And it means a lot, I'm very proud of the system

I mean, I was still with the company at the time and was excited to see my system used in a new way. And by all accounts, the Laundry looks fun. It just would have been nice to be credited

Nor I really, but it still stings

Pettiness.

Thanks Luis, I really appreciate it ❤️

a woman in a blue dress is talking to another woman in front of a crowd . ALT: a woman in a blue dress is talking to another woman in front of a crowd .

Yup

Yup, it sucks. I'm very disappointed but not surprised. Its par for the course in regards to their behaviour and how little respect they have for creatives.

Today, out of morbid curiosity, I picked up a copy of The Laundry by Cubicle 7. Despite it using the rule system I designed, and copy pasting thousands of words I wrote, I am not included anywhere in the credits. I also outlined the whole book and designed the character sheet.

Oh well.

Scary news coming from a lot of board game publishers in the last few days. A lot of good people are going to be out of work because of this trade war. Sorry to all the passionate designers and creators that are affected by something completely out of their control

Yeah interesting choices is what it boils down to. I've a few ideas, it'll be a matter of playtesting

Would you believe I was literally just checking how you handled it!
