What games/adventure titles immediately capture your imagination? The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh has always been a favorite. A mystery, an evocative location, and alliteration? I'm in. Let's play.

I'm at a crossroads with a project. I'm taking the weekend to decide if I'm going to shelve it or plow through. Wish me luck.

The image is of three of the iconics from Patfinder Quest, Merisiel, Valeros, and Ezren, fighting an enormous purple Time Dragon emerging from flames of fuchsia and red. Across the top of the image is the test, "Time is running out to join the quest!" In the middle of the image is a sand timer. Across the bottom of the image is the "Pathfinder Quest" logo above the text, "Over 800% Funded" and the "Back it now on BackerKit" logo.

Three thousand years ago, the planet looked much different. Large continents spread across vast oceans, giving shape to a wide variety of peoples, wildlife, and landscapes. Then, the Cascade came. Vibrant green meteors crashed down in overwhelming numbers across land and water. Mages, and colossal planetary guardians, called Omirim rushed out in eight directions to save what they could. While tidal waves of earth and sea crashed against their magic, they pushed, driving the land from behind them out into a ring to combat the onslaught. The dust of the shattered and burned meteors drove through their barrier, mixing with the magic and washing over them. As their gigantic forms began to petrify, the Omirim sang out in a funeral song. This song, this dirge, reshaped the world to save the small humans that were left behind. Where once were multiple continents and oceans spread across the planet, now sat a circular ring of mountain range reaching to the clouds. One ocean sat in the middle, thousands of miles wide in every direction, so that almost every bit of hospitable land rested between shore and mountainside. The surviving humans lived and rebuilt off of the space between. The Ring still managed to contain a multitude of environments, temperatures and landscapes in what was left. But the tumultuous restoration of the planet’s new shape brought on challenges for the young human population. As they built around them, they found that many of the flora and fauna from before had changed, somehow affected by the Cascade. New prey animals began to roam the land, both in herds and in solitude. With them, came new predators. But something worse than predators came as well...
A massive petrified statue of a humanoid figure called an Omirim pushing against the wall of a mountainside. Above it is the oncoming evening sky full of stars, and below it is a countryside and the far off image of a city. The city and countryside look diminutive because of the scale, and the image perspective is set from out in the ocean.
A little Soothwardens lore and visual drop, while I work on finalizing the quickstart 👀

The image is of the box of the Pathfinder Quest board game along with a monster made of magma from the game and 5 minis, the four iconic heroes from the game, Ezren, Merisiel, Kyra, and Valeros, and the Time Dragon. Across the top of the image is the text, "No Game Mater. No endless prep. Just epic adventure in a box," and in the bottom right corner of the image is the text, "Back is now on" above the "BackerKit" logo.

Screenshot from Pathfinder Lost Omens: The Grand Bazaar, featuring an illustration of Arhan Benimaya, a white trans man with patterned tattoos.
Every time I hear someone say there's no trans man characters in games I'm like PLEASE LOOK AT ARHAN
He's a trans man NPC in Pathfinder, featured in The Grand Bazaar hardcover and the Stolen Fates Adventure Path!
He's a tattoo artist and he has a service dog named Apple! His BF is a fishman!
Congrats!

I'm asking for reasons . . .
two page spread from intergalactic Teaz. art on the right is of two people standing next to each other in provocative poses in front of a futuristic space background.
2-page spread for the micro-game "Black Future: Emancipation of Stars". On the left is a futuristic black man with grey and green dreadlocks in front of a starry background. On the right is the title and the intro text: "When Earth began to burn, black people and everyone else with the Mission in their hearts travelled in soulships, searching for the freedom that eluded them on Earth. The harrowing turn of years provided no comforts, but persistence did its work; eventually, they got free. Free to live and to love as desired, free to choose paths well or less travelled, free to exist without the weight of strife wrapped around the neck. They became the Free People, traveling and settling on new worlds, pushing further and further into the unknown and unexplored. That was long ago."
two page spread of "Come Out From Your Grave". The art on the left is a spirit standing over a woman praying in front of a cross tombstone with candles on its base. The ghost is pointing as if giving directions.
Two page spread of Neighborhood Robots . A large two page piece of art in the background where a robot is being operated on and played with by young children in an urban environment.
