Finally getting around to painting some Magic APs. :) obligatory tape removal vid:

As a kid, these covers were absolutely alluring. The gritty, over-engineered metalworks riddled with sinuous runes and bejeweled notches seemed to be everywhere in the 2000s. This unique aesthetic imprinted itself on my mind ever since and, today, still contributes/informs some of my own designs.

There's just so much going on. I attribute at least some of the allure to the nonsensical vs. photorealism. I can't help but imagine they weren't thinking of function or realism when placing the gems & filligrees, they were just trying to make the most mystic, dangerous tome; aka going by heart.

A reminder that you do not have to interact with every negative, idiotic take on the internet. In fact, you shouldn't. The less reactive you are, the better your life will be.

gnomish settlements are reclusive; concealed by powerful illusory magics. there, the small denizens scheme and toil incessantly on ways to locate and return to their utopic homeland. any gnome may leave, but they must first undergo a ritual where all memories of home are erased from their minds.

Traditionally, Carverine engrave their tusks with biographical glyphs and runes, so that their bones may tell stories of who they were in life. In more cosmopolitan settings, however, tusk engraving often serves less ritualistic, more decorative purpose, akin to some human tattoos.

As the Hotel sinks deeper into chaos, dungeon rooms will change their state accordingly, raising the stakes even further. Broken glass fill the corridors, elevators stop working, lights go out, ooze used in the thermal pools for skincare spills out from vats: turning into deadly acid traps...

Won't spoil much but I'm very proud of the game design here. The hotel is the dungeon and the floor plans serve as the dungeon map. The adventure is played in two acts: pre-tragedy lets players roam the hotel, get acquainted with its facilities, gossip and earn favors with guests and staff...
