Bredbeddle - a DRAW STEEL Ancestry by UraniumRaptor A Draw Steel Ancestry homebrewed by Bjoern Hoejlund and GM Rah (Yaron Grinman) for Jams of the Timescape vol. II 2026

I participated in Jams of the Timescape vol. 2, where we made Ancestries for the fantasy ttrpg DRAW STEEL.

Together with Yaron, I made an ancestry where you get to play a monstrous Bredbeddle, a headless giant looking for a new head.

Goblin week, huh? I can't believe the only 2 goblins I have to show were made this year. Long-term goal: making dozens of them.

Congrats to everyone who got their entries in and good luck! There's a round of judging next!

An illustration depicting a young boy sadly reading a book. The pages fly around him, forming the armor of a giant golden knight that serves as a protective shell. Arrows are stuck on the armor, while the knight stands on one knee, vigilantly holding a sword.

My photo shows seven honey-coloured chess pieces, hand-carved from elephant ivory and worn with age. They are displayed in two uneven lines. At the front are two foot-soldiers, behind them are two mounted riders, followed by an elephant with rider (nearest viewer) and a figure driving two horses. At the back is a figure driving a three-horse chariot. Itโ€™s suggested they represent divisions of an army. Dimensions: Height between 2.6cm - 3.7cm. Dated AD 700s. 

I saw these pieces on display at the British Museumโ€™s โ€˜Silk Roadsโ€™ Exhibition in 2024, on loan from Samarkand State Museum-Reserve, Uzbekistan. The museum label read: โ€œThis is the earliest known group of chess pieces in the world. Probably originating in India as an aristocratic game, chess spread along Silk Road routes and became a popular pastime across the Islamic world and Europe. These pieces are made of ivory, which probably came from India. They reflect the continued movement of luxury goods and elite customs in the Islamic periodโ€.

WOW, this is the earliest known group of chess pieces in the world! ๐Ÿคฉ

Fanart of the protagonists of Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong. On the left we have The Vessel/The Knight and on the right, behind them, we have Hornet. Both design are slightly altered compared to how they look in game. They appear to be standing in the lush forestry of Green Path.

I started playing the first bug game again, now that I finished the second one.

Also, while I really love the game, the average dmg output of the enemies and the corpse runs are really heavy factors pulling in the opposite direction. A lot of people are not going to end up playing through this game because of those design decisions :/

... The gauntlets in the second game made me put down the controller and leave the game alone for weeks at the time. I know exactly what you mean.
