Sketches of vine monsters called threxyls

Sketches of vine monsters called threxyls

Hey Draw Steel knowers, in β€œThe Dark Heart of the Wood,” are a Threxyl’s mobility roots bunched up at the base like a crinoid, or along the side, like a centipede.
Also, are their bodies just one vine, or a mess of vines?

Bunched at the base ! Weaker threxyls like lariats and detectors are one vine, tougher ones like siphons and nightshades can be many!

A black and white illustration of Elric on a horse, drawn in a rough style. Elric looks grim on top of a black shiny horse, his white hair a flat shape against a black sky. A sword is seen behind him.

Fun fact, the inspiration for this map is a bit of shadow of the colossus, and a bit of the halo ce multiplayer map Boarding Action.

Adventures are my favourite thing to design because you get to do a little bit of everything. Characters, monsters, magic items, story, map design!

First 8 player age dawning in our galaxy. I was a species of space dinosaur that used black holes to eat other peoples ships and turn them into my own. I got to 9 points and then played a relic card which would have given me the win on a d10 roll. I rolled bad and my home planet blew up

Hi TTRPG people, my calendar is currently free heading into 2026, so I'm looking for more freelance design work! If you're interested you can check out my current portfolio here, which I'll be updating further over the next few months: crypticparlour.com/games
