Due to popular request. I've decided to make a small change to the magazine schedule. I originally announced I'd compile October and November in a single issue but that's not happening anymore.
Instead, Issue No. 1 will include October's content and I will gift this one to all my patreon supporters regardless of pledge level.
This is a one time only gift 2019-12-01 02:31:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Denizens of the Tower
This is the town of South Hildberg, an idyllic place removed from most of the atrocities in a fantasy world. It is located south of a large capital and close to the sea. The place has never seen war or conflict. But times are changing and even the relatively safe countryside is becoming a place to be cautious about. There are tales of savage bandits and orc clans roa...

Hello, this is Derek.
This patreon page is three years old and it has been a hell of a ride. Thank you for supporting my work. And if you are not subscribed anymore, thank you too for your support when the time was right for you to do so. My current line of work and position in the RPG market would not have been possible without your help.
We just released Brochure #3 Horror on the Hook for sale on Drivethru RPG. You can get it there or by supporting our page here. Your choice.
This is the third installment of the brochure adventure series. Similar to our one-page adventures, these include everything in the brochure and they are all system neutral.
Here's the .psd file for BA3 Horror on the Hook. Notice that it is necessary to have Photoshop to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white. That is the uppermost layer, I only use it to make the file preview smaller in size. Once you remove that uppermost layer you'll see the illustration. (it's just one click)
Most of the illustration elements are properly named...

Today I bring you a story which can be as serious as you want, but I was really thinking in a light-hearted, over-the-top, and fun adventure. In this adventure, the son of the kind was very sick from avocado allergy and the man decided to outlaw all avocados!

There was a terrible massacre in the Church of Golden Petal. Unknown to all present, a terrible necromancer from four-hundred years ago promised to return to exact his vengeance on the living, in particular, the three druids that defeated him. The townsfolk were celebrating a religious ritual when the undead came from the crypts below and feated on their flesh. T...

Denizens of the Tower,
To celebrate the silver medal status of our adventure Goblet of Fireflies, we have revamped the whole adventure. We redid the layout, added art, fixed some errors and typos.
But most importantly, I dabbled into the depths of Indesign and after hours of delving, I returned home with a fresh PHONE PDF! Super clickable and fully interactive. I must say that for t...

Traveler,
I bring you a pack of individual graphic assets to populate taverns, casinos, and other similar establishments. The pieces are varied enough to create plenty of different locations. Some of this art was featured in the previous publication but these tokens allow you to furnish all kinds of different maps.

Hi traveler!
I wrote this RPG adventure with a light-hearted mood in mind and the result is a farm house setting that is an awesome place to have the party rest, take a step back, and relax from the adventurer's life doing some odd jobs and participating in a baking competition....

I'm back to full-blown fantasy art creation. I got my glasses earlier this week. After a period of adaptation I am now feeling better and I see WAY better with the glasses. It wasn't until I started doing my everyday stuff with the glasses that I noticed how bad my sight was. I mean I'm not really that bad, really. But I was bad enough that I could still barely func...

This is a personal announcement. My only intention is to share with you a few things that have happened over the past two months or so. I have experienced mild discomfort with my eyes for 2-3 months. The issue is that they get too dry and this causes blurry vision, headaches, trouble focusing on small details on the screen.

Happy halloween, and happy Day of the Dead. To close the month, I bring you this cool fortified hamlet map. It features 7 individual buildings and should have an average permanent population of 30 townsfolk. The hamlet is probably in a dodgy place because they've gone to the lengths of setting up a wooden palisade. What's out there? well, it could be just about anyth...
