Primal’s boar mama (borrowing heavily from the Princess Mononoke boar clan) has some grand inspo on this front.

My 4 year old played a game at preschool they called “ninja wolves” where each kid picked an elemental power, then ran around howling while pretending to kill monsters.

The kids made it.

Pretty sure this is baked into the firmware.

I’ve been watching with interest, but what does this mean?

“Our authors will be paid the industry recognized professional pay rate for their stories.”

I always thought ochre jelly was such a dumb idea for a monster. And then I saw the inside of old coal mines.

That stuff’s almost up to his knees.

Doesn’t feel glamorous but this is the kind of work that turns an RPG book into a tool imo.

They Who Consumes.

“What do you mean it’s the size of a mountain range?”

“I mean it’s at least the size of the Himalayas as far as you can see through the Astral haze. But you auto hit and deal max damage so that’s cool right?”

Old mine in Pennsylvania. Full of water, but frozen. Major dungeon inspiration.

I re-did and re-uploaded the Shogaku Ichinensei 1992 August chapter for #Zelda Link to the Past. This one has some of the best art out of all of them and I feel like that's saying something. I cleaned it and put it in its own folder at 2400dpi archive.org/details/zine...

A new adventure released on my Patreon. The Forest of Friendly Foes. It's about a town of trolls who's king decided they all had to be friendly from now on. It's a bit tense and they'd all really prefer to keep stepping on wizards and throwing sticks at kids.
