Hey, weirdos, thanks for buying our game. (Probably a Tom Baxa illustration, from the AD&D 2e Campaign Sourcebook and Catacomb Guide, TSR, 1990) From Ch 4 "Uses of Judgement" which also includes sections on "Off Nights," "Player Feuds," "Pettiness," "Know-it-alls," and various forms of cheating.

Attention fellow Galemancers, I found something extremely relevant to our interests in The 5E Guide to Sex sourcebook:

We definitely gotta start incorporating "Gale made me come so hard it restored my spell slots" into our headcanons and fanfics.

My work for #FensGuide is here! The Vaguet are a playable species, tall mysterious forest lizard people who will hopefully be fun to play as. Lots of fun things for you to discover about them in the book! It's funded but you can still back it and get one https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skaavart/fens-guide-to-myriad-realms-humanart/

Hey, y'all! If you enjoy my astral-related content, you should check out my other blog, Astral Field Guide! It's focused on world building and story writing for my astral D&D campaign! You can find it here if you so wish!

The only reason I'm doing this is because traction to the blog has been poor and it feels like a waste to put a lot of passion into something no one is going to see.

I've been working on a little fake game strategy guide as an artbook for my little guys. It's going well so far I think.

Artificer: One of the major difficulties with Fighter is learning to distinguish between them pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because they can’t be bothered to think and want someone else to do it for them, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that they actually don't understand what’s going on, and really being genuinely stupid.

Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials (1979) is a fun little book that looks at aliens from a variety of science fiction stories through the (slightly) in-universe framing of a field guide, complete with notes on ecology and biological functions.

Artist Wayne Barlowe’s selections are an interesting cross-section of the genre (I don’t recognize a lot of them, honestly) and his interpretations (of the ones I do recognize) always walk the fine line between capturing something essential that I pictured in my mind’s eye while also being surprising or unexpected in many ways. Among the beasties I did not photograph are the Overlords from Childhood’s End, the Puppeteers from Ringworld, the Izchel from Wrinkle in Time, the Masters from the Tripod books and Ursula Le Guin’s Athshean.

In a way, the Guide feels like an extension of the larger interest in fantastic art in the ‘70s, embodied most in the Gnomes, Fairies and Giants books. It, and its Fantasy companion (see tomorrow) certainly wouldn’t come out today, but for me, they’re just amazing. They gave Barlowe a whole book to draw monsters and aliens; monster and alien enthusiasts like me got a pile of rad illustrations to look at; and a stack of sci fi writers got low-key advertising for their works. Wins down the line.

Worth mentioning that this is likely a direct inspiration for Call of Cthulhu’s pair of Petersen’s Field Guides (Cthulhu Monsters and Dreamlands), right down to little nuances of layout formatting. I would bet that they were also on someone’s mind when the Ecology articles began to appear in Dragon Magazine (those started in ’83 with the Piercer).

Powerful and immortal, a vampire often rules over mortal lands with an exceptionally strong ego and sense of self-importance. (Denis Beauvais cover for AD&D 2e Ravenloft supplement RR3: Van Richten's Guide to Vampires, TSR, 1991.) Vampires often wear clothing that resembles their bat form. The blood vessels in the cape here are a particularly fine touch of evil elegance.

The faces of Tatyana Federovna

Heres a compilation of some stain glass artworks I've done in relation to Tatyana Federovna + Ireena Kolyanovich. Featuring some familiar incarnates and some non familiar to the official stuff in The Curse of Strahd Module and the Van Richten's guide.

In our version Lyssa is not related to the Von Zarovich as the last surviving Von Zarovich is Sturm.

Not for nothing, but this is from Volo's Guide To Monsters and from this perspective I feel like Emps deserves at least a bit more nuanced treatment and benefit of the doubt since this is legit canonical Illithid ecology.
