Today on the blog, I wanted to point out several artist campaigns that I think you all might be interested in. It features fantastic art, writing, and more by incredible artists and writers, and if you have not already checked them out, you should do so NOW!
First, we have Aaron Miller's Primal Encounters - a 5E supplement. Aaron shares:
The encounters in this book will provide you with a wealth of beast storyline starters, designed to lead your players on a series of challenges, quests, and plot hooks tied to the common wild animals of your settings.
It’s a given that players enjoy slaying terror-inspiring monsters and battling antiheroes of ill repute. Still, these dangerous settings of epic plotlines are also filled with smaller adventures and side quests that can be just as impactful to the player’s gaming experience.
Designed to be used in any setting or RPG game system you desire, the encounters within this book are entirely narrative in nature, allowing the Game Master to use the encounters in any ruleset of their choosing. In rare instances, we have inserted simple 5e mechanics (suitable for 2014 or 2024) that can be easily adapted to your system.
I have known Aaron for many years, and I love his work, so let's pitch in and make this a reality!
Next, we have Yukimi Lumaris' Law of the Dragons: A M/M High Fantasy Romance slowburn. Yukimi shares:
Have you been wanting something that is distinctly high fantasy, in a queer normative world, with a plot that wraps around a romance arc?
If so here is my humble pitch to you, if you are a reader and fan of fantasy and mm romance.
Prince Rowyn was considered weak as a dragon, a secret that couldn’t leave the palace and mandated an elusive life. Remaining out of the public eye kept everyone safe. His twin sister was the face of the dragon monarchy, and he would remain in the shadows. He’d long come to peace with such a life; there was comfort in solitude and routine.
Then whispers of war reached the shores.
Every nation on edge, it landed on Rowyn to decide whether to build an alliance with the enigmatic dragon king of the south - or to send someone else in his stead. The decision was on his shoulders. He couldn’t possibly handle such a task, could he?
His worries faded into the background when he met the king’s guard, a human bearing a mystery in one hand, and an accusation in the other. One who challenged what he thought was true, invoking a sense of justice Rowyn had no choice but to follow.
To make this alliance, he’ll have to step outside of the shadows he coveted, unravel a harrowing mystery, and lean into the arms of a stranger-turned-friend—perhaps something more.
Yukimi is great and, like me, is compelled to both create art and write. I hope you take the time to check out the campaign!
Finally, we have John Booth's The Legacy of Mo'Roh: A System-Neutral RPG Adventure. John shares:
Written by John Booth (Collect All 21! Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek - The First 30 Years) and featuring stunning art by Matt Kish (Moby-Dick in Pictures: One Drawing for Every Page), "The Legacy of Mo'Roh" is a 20-page system-agnostic adventure that can be slotted into an existing RPG campaign or run as a single-session one-shot. It's a malleable story that's easily adaptable to a range of fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and monster settings.
Graphic design pro Carmen Dotterer worked magic in packing a handy and readable layout into a classic zine format (5.5"x8.5"). We were really pleased with the look and feel of our small sample print run - full-color, 80lb satin finish interior pages and a full-color, 100lb satin cover, all staple-bound - and we'd like to order and deliver more. Meeting our funding goal would make this happen.
All original art and text in this project was created by humans, not AI.
I am a big fan of John's writing, especially about Star Wars, so I am extremely excited to check out this project. I hope you take the time to check out the campaign!
That's all for another exciting week on the blog. See you back here next week! Until then..
