Elys Swift is the owner of the Curiosity Shop, a narrow little place tucked away on a street that seems to appear only when you are looking for something you cannot name. A devoted member of the Cult of Tenebrous, she trades in rare artifacts and the kind of trinkets that have stories. #TTRPG

When a rival faction clamps down on the party’s influence project, Sneaky Influence spends Sneak Attack dice to reclaim Progress, undermining competitors without ever picking a fight in broad daylight. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/AgmG6 #ShadowCityMysteries #TTRPG #GameDesign

Jalithai Winters is the polished face of the Society of Ravens, a politician who can move between council chambers and glittering galas without missing a beat. Born into wealth and privilege, she has never known a day without comfort, and she wears it like armor. #TTRPG

Makers are some of the toughest people around. It’s hard to make a living in Shadow City without long nights and grueling days. Those folks that would take the mantle of “artisans” and build things that seem safe have put blood, sweat, and tears into their works. #TTRPG

Join us tonight at 9 PM Eastern on Twitch and YouTube for a special episode of Shadow City Mysteries: House of Skye. GM Christopher Mifsud runs two one-on-one sessions blending in-character play with out-of-character discussion. Katie Downey joins first as Quinn, followed by Mandy as Raven.

In the game, characters may consult these very same monochrome cards to glean insights about conspiracies and hidden plots. Meanwhile, on your own table, you can replicate that experience by performing actual Tarot readings. Read more 👉 https://playonwordsstudios.com/dev-blog/f/dev-blog-5-spotlight

Savants are the smartest folks in Shadow City, or at least the ones that insist on everyone knowing it. It’s hard to keep such prodigious minds from wandering across a multitude of disciplines, and even the most strait-laced among them pick up a tremendous store of clever tricks. #ttrpg

Tonight at 9 PM ET on Twitch and YouTube. Special episode of Shadow City Mysteries: House of Skye featuring one-on-one sessions with Winston C as Peryn and Ariel Kasten as Reggie. A mix of in-character play, out-of-character reflection, and live Level 3 subclass choices. #TTRPG

Mystics shouldn’t exist, at least according to modern scientific thought. Certainly people that believe in the mystical exist (there’s whole factions full of them, after all), but modernity demands that religion is metaphor. #TTRPG

Heavies are the strongest people on the streets of Shadow City. While everyone that has to work for a living may need to use their two fists to get them through from time to time, for Heavies it’s their first choice. #TTRPG

Infiltrators are the people you call when you need something done unnoticed and unseen. There are a lot of laws, rules, and understandings in Shadow City, and some of them are meaningfully enforced. If you need something on the other side of one, then it’s important that nobody ever finds out #TTRPG

Faces love to talk. Anybody that freelances on the streets of Shadow City learns to use their words before their fists if they want to survive long, but, for a Face, conversation is their first, second, and third choice. Even in a shootout, their lips are still flapping. #ttrpg

The ranger that leveled to 15th is now the highest-level character in any D&D game I have ever run, in 32 years of DMing. I’ve had several games make it to 14th, then have to end for one reason or another. Feels great to break that record while launching into a new major villain.

Aurikesh Session 170: Where Four Dragons Meet The session starts with the witch still among her own people, up in the mountains (from session 168). She knows that a truly vast black dragon has woken nearby, but not what to do about that or what the dragon might want.

As an emergency comes up, first 5 commissioners will get 30% off your headshot order. DM if interested.
