When I was very young, my dad owned an arcade/billiards hall, so I have some fondness for old games. I do not remember any of the specific games being used for this, but I do like pinball machines and pinball machine artwork. I also like old fantasy artwork and have come to enjoy DCC.Yes, there is (typically) very little plot, but there is some plot. There's enough to be a writing prompt with a few bullet points and included artwork. That's likely plenty for a 15-25 page module.There are 5 being offered:•Gorgar - fantasy adventure featuring a demonic antagonist•Centaur - featuring what appears to be a half-man/half-motorcycle hybrid•Swords of Fury - the artwork shows a group of fantasy warriors battling what appears to me to be a cross between an evil baboon creature and a balor with electrified hair•Cosmic Gunfight - space cowboys riding space horses through the cosmos and firing laser pistols at each other•Embryon - looks to be a sci-fi theme featuring aliens growing from embryonic bubble podsThe video does talk about licensing rights, so I assume that either the artist or whoever the company was that had the rights gets something for it. I am not well-versed in the nuances of pinball artwork trademarks and copyrighted material. Joseph Goodman talked about offering a special boxed set in a "clamshell box" with a hinge on the short side, so that the box would open in a way to look kinda like a pinball machine. He also mentioned trying to figure out some way to have the box make a noise or speak when you open it, similar to how some modern greeting cards play music.</blockquote>
