Eshaal Amrani (she/her), ship's surgeon of The Unicorn's Bounty. She is a brown-skinned woman with short dark brown hair sporting numerous scars and nautical tattoos. She wears ornate green earrings, a bloody surgeon's apron over a graying shirt with rolled-up sleeves and loose blue pants, and black boots. She carries a small green book in her right hand and rests her left hand on a desk behind her.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 3 - Sea of Dead Men

I ran this FitD pirate game for about a year starting in May 2024. Eshaal Amrani was the surgeon of The Unicorn's Bounty, the PCs' ship, and probably showed up on screen the most of any NPC in the campaign.

Nijang (he/him), local gossipmonger and owner of the building and noodle shop that the detectives' office is located above. He's an older man, quite short with a knowing smile. He wears a head covering and an apron over his regular clothes, as well as holding a piping hot bowl of noodle soup.

#ttrpg #artchallenge Day 2 - Republic City by Night

Republic City by Night is a Blades in the Dark hack I wrote set in the universe of Legend of Korra. I ran a streamed playtest of it about 6 years ago. Nijang was the Ji Dao! Detectives informant cohort and owned the noodle shop under their office.

Day 1 - Kids on Bikes

I played this about a year ago as a prequel to a Golden Sky Stories game that I ran, set in the fictional town of Kamuiyama in Hokkaido. Kei always tried to do right by her friends, even if that meant going into an abandoned mine and confronting a giant snake.

Hi #pretendpanel!

I think my favorite might be Calista, but her project is currently on the back burner.

In my current project, it's probably Dom.

It sure can! My leg is still quite sore and swollen, but I’ve got some meds for it and a referral for some follow-ups so we’re getting it handled at least!

Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon at the hospital and then crashed in the evening.

And then today I got up early and went downtown for a job interview.

I'm so tired and my leg is angry. 😴

Cece is definitely up there. She's always a lot of fun. And Mackenzie, the superpowered barista from "Just Another Day At A Metropolitan Cafe" also has a very special place in my heart. They're both former #TTRPG characters that I love.

Rose's youtube title card for her upcoming new series, Hollow Knight! The title card is an image of the main character of the game, a small bug with a black cloak, a white sword, and a white mask with horns. One of Rose's emotes has been superimposed over the bug's mask. The logo for Hollow Knight is also visible to the right of the bug, and in the lower right corner reads the text "Ep 01"

Any indie #ttrpg creators in the Toronto area down for an interview in the next couple of weeks? I've got a paper I'm still figuring out the parameters for (probably about creating and refining an indie ttrpg) and I need interviewees!

Alas, it does have to be in person, so no one outside the GTA.
