    I should have the first supplement for Shadows of Empire available in PDF in the next week or so. Assuming my head doesn't explode first.

    And the finished product. Too excited about it not to post a second pic in a row!

    My very first by-hand digital dungeon level. After many false starts.

    Yup. I made him a bit of an idiot so there's lots of obvious ways he could make a party's life more difficult while still being a good dude that they might want to save from being eaten.

    I'm summarize. Basically, everything on the page are ingredients for that hex. Some belong to a core 'narrative', in this case the wyvern and her young, but others are less indexed and more freeform. Sir Wayland's most obvious use is as a dim but charming monster hunter who's after the Wyvern...

    We're in the age of self publishing, there's someone doing everything badly somewhere, but that's got nothing to do with 'ethical'. There's no ethical dimension to using public domain art whatsoever. What's left is you talking about what you like and don't like. Just so we're all clear.

    Yeah, so 'Shadowdark' and '+ thread' are things, right? I'm sure there's another thread for people to lock horns over the AI issue. In other news, I've been reading Mythic Bastionland and I really like how it handles the ideas of Myths, so I'm going to steal it and adapt it as another way to...

    Lots of OSR properties make good use of PD art.

    What exactly does 'ripped out of context' mean here? Are you saying there's something wrong with using classic public domain art for RPGs? I'm confused. Anyway, I'm very happy with the art in Shadows of Empire, and aside from one image I got off Freepik and manipulated myself, everything else is...

    Public domain art will get a you a long way if you spend enough time sourcing it. Frex: Although admittedly this is a way easier task for fantasy than for any other genre. Vampires could be done using a lot of Art Nouveaux stuff and just a hint of graphics know-how though, now that I think...

    I prefer to use public domain art for my stuff. If I'm going to buy art it's going be art I'm really enthused about, which usually means expensive.

    Hey, I'm not the one who jumped with questionable english parsing to tell someone their class is named the wrong thing. That bit of exquisite nerdery is on you. Anythewho, I don't really have any interest in this kind of pedantry so I'm going to move on...

    I don't actually agree with your parsing of the word, but that's not super important. Sentinels don't have to be passive observers, and if they aren't passive then what are they doing? Probably something that sounds like investigating with a soupcon of doing so to protect someone or something...

    To which I shrug (no offense). I wanted something that really wasn't thief-indexed and watcher works fine for me. Honestly, I stole the name from Swords of the Serpentine that has a similar class called the same thing. I don't have any cognitive dissonance there, but its interesting that you do...

    Basic class layout isn't hard. A whole class plus titles (which aren't on the same page in the core SD book) fits nicely on one A4 or Letter page. Like so:
