An announcement graphic for Streets of Jade: the Green Bone Saga RPG, by James Mendez Hodes and Fonda Lee, published by Evil Hat Productions. In this illustration by Hannah Elizabeth, an East Asian man with a rakish expression and an asymmetrical haircut, wearing a white V-neck t-shirt under a black blazer, sits in front of a hard-eyed East Asian woman with shoulder-length straight hair, wearing a black pantsuit over a green blouse, standing with her arms folded. Both wear extensive piercings, jewelry, and other adornments made of green jade. They’re in a dark room in front of a large circular window looking out on a twentieth-century city at night. A banner at the bottom encourages you to β€œsign up to playtest now!”
