Happy Yuletide, everyone, but no talking during the processional. We hope that the memory of primal secrets might not be forgotten. Art from "An Old-Fashioned Holiday", written by Benito Cereno, art by Emmett Graham.

If you can face the true terror of working on a complicated art file without saving regularly, @torenatkinson.bsky.social has a video of working on a mysterious project... www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5gS...

For my first commission ever (Bayt Al Azif), I was so scared that my English wouldn’t be understood (it’s my second language) that I just started sending memes and doodles. But hey, at least we had a good laugh seeing who could draw worse.

Retrospectiva del día en Susurros desde la Oscuridad: Bayt al Azif #5 www.susurrosdesdelao...#5

Spaceman on a byakhee work in progress for Bayt Al Azif magazine #cthulhu

Bayt is one only 2 gaming magazines dedicated to Lovecraft-inspired gaming still actively publishing. I'd encourage anyone who's ever enjoyed it to contribute a letter ... and anyone who hasn't to check it out.

"...each vista which appeared to me, was the one my changing mind most wished to behold." We have almost NO letters from our dear readers to publish in our next issue! If you like our letters page, please send us your thoughts, comments, and feedback. baytalazif.com/contact/

"A mountain walked or stumbled." Wanted to finally do an interpretation of Cthulhu from H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu!

6 years 1 month and 13 days after being published, Bayt al Azif issue 2 is now a Platinum Best Seller on @drivethrurpg.com ! Bayt al Azif issue 1 is also a Platinum Best Seller. Only 2.19% of the 63,000 titles on their site ever reach this level. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...
