Hi. Lex, here: illustrator, ttrpg appreciator, occasional playtester and AP performer. You can find me at lexxarts.carrd.co

And please check out some stuff I'm helping on, like the big BHM event being put on by @apocunlimited.bsky.social and Fantasy In My Backyard www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...

Help us cross 100 backers in the first 48 hours and create some real city magic 🪄✨🏢

Totally. It took me a while to be able to hit that golden ratio of 1 session = score + downtime, & it feels extremely better.

You also learn how to play around with the score format. We are ending a Scum & Villainy campaign in a system-wide war, which is basically just 3 connected scores.

2 cents: make scores shorter. No, shorter than that. Even shorter.

Numerically, the game leans into mixed-results. If the score is too complex, you are likely to throw your players into a death-spiral.

Go directly to the bone. Worst case scenario? You do 2 scores in one session.

Illustrations I made last month for a Món de Monstres adventure published by @melnegra.bsky.social, a fantasy TTRPG for kids.

I tried to walk the line between fairitale illustration, adventure ttrpg, and make it a bit ugly and scary for good measure.

Build Urban Fantasy in Real Places with Google Maps From Chase Call and James Quigley - Build Urban Fantasy in Real Places with Google Maps

Fantasy in My Backyard is an urban fantasy world-building TTRPG funding during #ZineMonth 2026 on Backerkit! I'm delighted to layout this project.

Using a city map and a deck of cards, players uncover a magical hidden world in their very own neighborhoods. 🧵

I felt this in my bones.

Say what you want, but not worrying about money allows people to bloom and spread their wings. Especially artists or people with projects.

Poverty stunt and diminish us, it make us smaller, like tardigrades in their withered survival mode.

Some of us are stuck in that stunted mode for life.

Heyo! Check Fantasy in my Backyard, a urban fantasy map-making game.

I'm gonna be making the cover, & if the campaign goes well, extra art.

I got to participate in a playtest & it was really fun.

Back it, so I can draw some urban monsters! bit.ly/backyard-rpg

Purple and pink-tinted map in the background. Text at the top reads: "The Team." Circular headshots of each team member with labels. Top row: "Chase Call, James Quigley, Chris Carson II." Middle row: "Duamn Figueroa Rassol, Kodi Gonzaga, Lex Burney." Bottom row: "Rook Feld."

I'm so stoked to create a tactile, lush, collage layout to complement the illustrations of @forta-ver.bsky.social, @wasitooya.bsky.social, and @duamn.bsky.social. Game design headed up by Chase Call and @quigjam.bsky.social, with @jaztice.bsky.social editing. What a team! 🧵

Person: say, i am alive. Computer: I am alive. Person: oh my god.

Altos personajes ese grupo (y sus personajes también).

I sat down and got the crew's character portraits. They have so much personality, it gave me a lot of material to work with. I also really enjoyed doing character design for a sci-fi game.

I also did some quick character cards for them 👇

I made a character lineup for my #Torchbearer2E players. We finished the campaign last month, but they want to play an epilogue where they go back and defeat the elusive Tsmok, who kicked their buts back when they were lvl 1.

I will give it to them IF they fish it back.

Some character info 👇

Aston "the Wolf" Lafayutte Lvl 5 Human Magician Belief: Magic will solve all our problems. Creed: Nobody deserves to go hungry. Traits: Wizard Sight (2), ~Extravagant~ ~Lycanthrope~ Ex-lycanthrope (1), Spellcaster (2) Shown here atop his three spellbooks, donning his old wizard-school uniform, pointy hat, and performing some magical gestures, while wearing an old red magica-efigy around his neck.

Orphan & magical school dropout, Aston was bitten by a werewolf in the backwoods of Darkovia. Despite this, he was able to return to his hometown of Hywater, & through some scheming with his mentor, be lifted of the curse & attain a position in his alma matter, the Collegium Malefici.

Iskander “the Croc” Kodosvolgy Lvl 6 Human Warrior Belief: Breaking a contract is only the last resort. Creed: The want for personal enrichment cannot trump our duty to do the right thing. Traits: Heart of Battle (1) Foolhardy (3) Negotiator (1) Posing atop the Tsmok's severed head, wielding the magic sword Crimsom Kiss atop a shield, decked in a greenish, crocodile-themed full plate.

Iskander "the Croc" Kodosvolgy, a Darkovian mercenary, & the party's master strategist. He carries the Crimson Kiss, his nemesis Tulya the Vampire's sword. Tulya turned his little brother, & he was forced to take him to Hywater & consort with a more powerful vampire for his protection.

Skor of the Lost Lands Lvl 5 Dwarf Outcast Belief: I must take any opportunity to get rich. For the judicious, the grave. Creed: The secrets of Mordeth must be exposed! Traits: ~Born of Earth & Stone~ / Revenant (2) Rough hands (1) Loner (2) Schemer (1) Decked in chainmail, wearing a de-horned Mordite helment, wielding sword, and a defaced Mordite shield, in mockery of his enemy.

Skor of the Lost Lands, last survivor of the Mordite invasion on the dwarven lands, he was rescued by a family in the small town on Roëthel.
Chased by the Mordite threat, he has sworn to expose their return on Ventûria & put a stop to the upcoming invasion.

Deargad, Skor's adoptive cousin, looking proudly at his wife after becoming a hero with the help of the adventurers. Almy, Iskander's squire, looking worryingly at the cursed Sword of Basugaar she carries due to inventory-management reasons.

Almy was promised as the bride for anyone who would rid Roëthel of its werewolf threat. Knowing it wrong, the part conspired to help his true love, Deargad, pass off as the Werewolf killer & marry the young lady.

They were hired as retainers as they crossed paths on their honeymoon in Hywater.

I printed some stickers to gift my #Torchbearer players after they completed the campaign epilogue. They loved it.

They had to choose between the path of the Concordiat Knights or the Maelstrom—which gave it a new chasis & a playbook [Mystic or Scoundrel]
