I guess it's a very artistic rendering of astronomical phenomena?
Or perhaps astrology.
Time to share another piece of public domain art to celebrate getting closer to releasing Chaotic Encounters! I mean, what is even slightly happening here? I used it as part of the story of the Psychedelic Dragon, but who knows what it really is?

Actually these are heroes from a Georgian legend. They're called Tariel and Avtandil and in the story they're just really good bros. But I definitely ship it!

(Also the Predator is hunting them because they posted a TikTok saying they were "dangerous".)
So, Dragonmeet is coming up, and if you want to hear me and @lostpages.co.uk talk about making magic in RPGs more, er, magical, why not come to our talk on Saturday 29 November at 1430? It's part of Seminar Track 1.

The most fascinating thing about the flags-on-lampposts crowd is that if St George were alive today and turned up in England they'd campaign to send him away.

@gonzohistory.bsky.social I enjoyed your whistle-stop tour of 'Byzantine' monsters! Particularly the mention of Prokopius.
Have you checked out The Maniculum podcast? They're Medievalists and roleplayers and they did a deep dive on The Secret History as RPG source material.
