THE FACE TAKER gained his title from the leathery cloak of moaning human faces draped across his shoulders. His flesh-melting touch allows him to rip the faces from his victims’ skulls and add them to his grisly cloak. The Face Taker’s origins are uncertain;

First Kickstarter update for this project!

In the murky mists of prehistory there was an age of demi-gods, the spawn of incomprehensible elder beings birthed from the loins of the earliest humans. These demigods rampaged across the world as though it were their playground, none moreso than MANDAGOR THE MIGHTY.

COMING SOON: Vault of Villainy, a menagerie of malevolence for your Million-Colored Sun games!

Get this occult action thriller ttRPG for 1-7 people. Perfect if you enjoy playing powerful undead revenants embroiled in breakneck action, interpersonal drama, and occult investigation. Soundtrack by @mollynoise.bsky.social and human-made art by @stregawolf.art. Jump in now for early bird deals!

I did the cover for Million-Colored Sun in 2024. The art was originally meant to be the city Kanebok from my Black Pudding setting of Yria. But that's just my own lore. In the end the unfinished piece was finished up for this cool sword & sorcery game. It's a rules lite #TTRPG, a tool kit for gaming

The talented Mr. @bernietheflumph.bsky.social has turned in the cover for The Prison Pits of Larubia, complete with handcrafted logo, and it looks swell!

OH MY LORD we're in the last 24 hours--no, the last 14 hours!--for The Prison Pits of Larubia. Time flies. Lots of people who followed the campaign haven't backed it yet, and that's perfectly normal, people often wait until the last day. But please be aware that you are running out of time!

This is IMPORTANT NEWS!

The Kickstarter for The Prison Pits of Larubia, the new adventure for Million-Colored Sun, has just launched! Get in on the ground floor!

The Prison Pits of Larubia, coming soon to Kickstarter, features luscious illustrations by @perplexingruins.bsky.social!

Hey there, sword & sorcery lovers! I tell you what, I started this account intending to post regularly, and for a little while I did, but life happened, man. And now it’s been two months?!? What.

Inspired by the Five Laws of Library Science, I wrote a manifesto of sorts about the Five Laws of Roleplaying Games. open.substack.com/pub/monsterm...

My friend Gus was opining about the lack of new, decent sized dungeons of late, so I did a quick retrospective — and at least this year, he’s right! The best classic dungeon this year was idlecartulary.com/2025/03/17/b... 1/🧵

It's Good Friday . . . that is, it's a Good Friday to order yourself a copy of Million-Colored Sun, America's rules-light pulp sword & sorcery RPG! Act now or Pontius Pilate might wash his hands of you!

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU that we have ready-made adventure scenarios for Million-Colored Sun available for purchase? It's true! When you don't have time to plan your own scenario for your gaming group, get yourself a copy of The Red Witch of Chapel d'Angoisse for some horror-themed fun.

re-upping my position that raimi’s spider-man 2 is the single best superhero ever made, one of his best movies, and also the closest thing anyone has ever done to putting a silver age comic directly on screen

Under the harsh rays of the Million-Colored Sun, we find respite in the luscious artwork of @jvwest.bsky.social, who drew the MCS cover and three beautiful interior illustrations. Some say JV West gained his staggering artistic skills from making an unholy pact with otherworldly entities . . .

Let's all take another moment to enjoy this

#PortfolioDay ! I'm a traditional illustrator who's worked for a number of small press fantasy publications and TTRPG projects. I recently self-published a graphic novel featuring a kaiju in a sword-and-sorcery setting.

Other sword & sorcery RPGs give you colored suns, some with as many as 8 colors, but only one gives you a MILLION-colored sun. Come bathe in the resplendent, polychromatic light!

Two of these drawings are from Million-Colored Sun . . . Can YOU guess which ones?!
