Just finished "Queen Mab's Palace" by @falsemachine.bsky.social I have a few thoughts, but (aside from the absence of spellcheck), they all come down to: wow, it's masterpiece-good! Go read it, it'll make you want to write a campaign. In fact, the climax is just Patrick daring you to DO IT!

Harrison Cady, 1915. This is literally the modern post-awakening doomscroll though, like Trump did what while I was sleeping?

This is like a hieroglyph to me, or a spell, like I half get it, but I do urgently want to understand what the hell is going on with the smaller titles bottom left, is that a book on eugenics?

I am using charcoal for everything on account of it means you only get to use light & darkness to describe the forms (no line work) so everything gets this dreamy indistinctness, and a dark border around the text so it's like the book is disappearing around the edges #ttrpg #osr

there will be doom, and dark

some charcoal details for an ADVENTURE ZINE I am illustrating for @falsemachine.bsky.social it is gonna be done like next month (this is all the border that's going around all the pages)
