Calling all artists of all skill levels: I'm looking to collect a bunch of sketches of natural landscapes to use as 'Odok's Sketchbook' in the current season of TOTM. Got 3 minutes? Like to draw? Why not submit your sketch and be part of the story? Sketches should be done in pencil, should feature mountains in the background, show no sign of civilization, and ideally have some subtly interesting feature that I can translate into script for the show.
First roll on this table, then on the subtable suggested in parentheses.
On a 1, the party will find some kind of larger game animal (elk, deer, etc).
On a 2, it will be a dangerous animal or insect (boar, wolf, wasp, toad) .
On a 3, it will be a humanoid (troll, bugbear, orc, ogre, gnoll, hobgob).
On a 4, an exotic dangerous creature (inc water/swamp monsters).
On a 5, an exotic neutral creature (centaur, dryad, blink dog, treent).
On a 6, the party will find some kind of settlement, or lair complex, possibly active, possibly in ruins (elf, human, hill dwarf, gnome, monstrous etc).
It was a real pleasure to hang with Friendly Mike at Aardcon - and, friendly guy that he is - he presented me with this banger of an original. Isn't it glorious?! Thanks Mike - this means a lot!
I attended AardCON III in Calgary last weekend and got the chance to meet a number of cyberfriends I had known through Instagram for a few years - and I am so happy I went. Highlights included: a game of Dark/Light run by Friendly Mike (super fun game, super fun GM), a speech I gave about solo roleplaying, a BBQ at Sean (the organizer)'s place, & a whole lot of hanging out with some truly lovely people. The con is a real grassroots operation, but it drew nearly 300 people, so it looks like it could grow into something big in the coming years. Hopefully not too big though :)
We also took a day after the con to visit Banff, Lake Louise & Mirror Lake - all so spectacularly gorgeous that I decided right there to use both lakes as settings in the podcast in the future. I will spare you pics of the day trip (for now) but here's some shots from the con.
This one really knocked my socks off - even moreso when the artist offered to send it to me.
Well, the piece arrived today - and tonight it goes in a frame :)
If you're interested in seeing how the picture was made, Del also put up a timelaps YouTube video showing the process from start to finish.
You can watch the video here.
Thanks, Del!
