Illustration of a blue bunny getting nervous out alone in the woods at night. It can feel that it’s being watched, as red paw prints of an unseen creature follow and encircle it.

Footsteps in the dark

Isometric ink drawing of a building in an overgrown garden. The structure and some of the vegetation are also covered with crystal and a tar-like substance. On the sides there's a close-up of one of the crystals (with an eye in it!) and a portrait of a smuggler.

The crystallized chaotic phenomenon known as the Strange is the most alluring treasure for smugglers and occultists. It's also the most dangerous to retrieve and take out of the Forest.

I don't normally answer AMA questions addressed to "everyone" or about extremely broad topics, because these are supposed to be lower effort than book pages. Unfortunately this one nerdbaited me because I like color science and wanted to nail down the visual ranges of the aliens.

Comic page showing a full page poster. The poster depicts a grid with the different phases of the Moon, the full moon being substituted by a portrait of Laika. Text says: "Laika, 1954-1957. You were the first animal to orbit the Earth, but you did not have any say on it. We knew what your fate would be. We are sorry."

To Laika.

Isometric ink drawing of a guild named The South-Seas Trading Company. A group of four innocent looking adventurers with a few weapons. Deep down, everyone knows that they must be packing some serious heat under their capes and in their bags.

The South Seas Trading Company has its fingers in every figurative pie on the Twin Peninsulas, so of course they are going to send their people to plunder the ruins of Viridia.

The Viridian Palace is a place rich in both treasure and conflict. The latter because of the former.

Guild: The Exalted Scions Isometric ink drawing of four adventurers in expensive looking gear. One of them looks less thrilled to be carrying most of it in a heavy backpack.

A group composed entirely of bored aristocrats, they tend to view Viridia as a new playground.

pencil drawings of two statues holding funerary vessels - a minotaur with a coffin lashed to its back, and a kappa-like demon grasping a large urn on its back. 17. Two of the more striking examples of grave guardians as statuary figures which physically incorporate the vessel in which the deceased is interred. This figure from the labyrinth-tomb of Emperor Gnialogous V11 holds the remains of one of the emperor’s highest-ranking generals. damage to the sarcophagous suggests it slipped from the back of the statue several times, before being secured with the cords that hold it. accounts from the time suggest this may be because the sculptors building the statue did not know exactly who would be inside the sarcophagus, as the emperor’s favourites changed so rapidly, and so could not account for the weight or size of the body. Conversely, guardians such as this cask-demon from the Lower Red Delta were often mass-produced, designed to fit the large cinerary urns used as standard to store the cremated remains of the deceased. The designs of these demons gained progressively longer legs as flooding in the delta increased, and sculptors tried to ensure the remains would be kept above the water. Look at the stick the minotaur holds. It is made of stone, but someone gave it a stick to lean on. Look at how the demon strains to keep its head above the water level. Can you see the tide-marls on its legs? Do the rocks need our help?

pencil sketch of a stone sarcophagus. the sides are carved with skull and talon designs. the lid is carved to look lik a sleeping figure, with a bird-headed goblin crouched on top of them, its talons pressed to their head. 18. Little is known about this unusual sarcophagus, which is beleived to originate from somewhere in the Argish Islands. Analysis of the remains inside suggest the occupant may have been alive when interred, and a collection of iron pendants and coins placed around the body may have had ritual significance, perhaps to denote a person of religious importance, as this is obviously a richly detailed burial vesesl. At some point the face of the sleeping figure carved into the sarcophagus lid has been destroyed, roughly carved away with a chisel or similar implement, and though we do not know why this was done, it is notable that the figure crouched atop the “sleeper” has been left untouched. Look at the worn stone of the sarcophagus. it has been carved to look like a soft bed for the figure to lie on. Look how the figure’s flesh has also been carved to look soft, and bend under the weight of the creature that crouches on top of them. Look at the creature’s talons, how they curve so close to where the sleeper’s face would have been. Is it soft, the place where you sleep? Are there ever talons, or chisels there?

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

Quest: visit the Bard in the ancient library. Isometric ink drawing of an old library interior, covered in leaves and roots. The shelves are dwarfing the 5 small character silhouettes.

Is it possible she's still around, a century later?
The Viridian Library remains a treasure trove of knowledge, worth the risky trip if the rumor about the storyteller turned up to be a hoax.

I LOVE this. Such kind words about the game—including @decassette.bsky.social’s art & Renee's writing—but the highest praise is always seeing the creativity it inspires in others! The idea of storing @hinokodo.com's custom domino cut-outs in an empty box of long matches is also GENIUS.

Isometric ink drawing of dried up public baths. There is a strange crystal with tar-like tendrils hovering in the middle. And it looks like a cat with a wizard hat is investigating the place.

The baths of Viridia are a known emergence point into this world for the Strange. Which makes them a place rich in encounters of the occult kind.

The artwork shows a ceremony on a patio. There's a round pool in the center of the image and a round arch in the background. Sisters of the convent are placed in different locations performing different parts of the ritual. Half of them wear a peacock mask and half of them wear sun-like headpieces. There's a woman in the center on the horse. She wears a blue dress decorated with mosaic-like patterns. The horse is covered with blue patterns and stands still above the water. Two twins are sitting on the floor surrounded by large lilies. Behind them one sister plays a harp and another one is holding two bowls with mysterious light. There's a big mosaic tree in the background with other sisters dancing around it. There are two other sisters on top of the wall waving scarves. The artwork is mostly blue and light green
