dev and mostly ttrpg nonsense

such a mood

the first panel shows two people sitting side by side at a cool gray table on a light yellow background. the one on the left has a dark blue mullet and a sleeveless dark blue-green tank top and is resting her chin on her hand while smiling. the one on the right has wavy or curly dark purple hair in a bun, glasses, a light blue tank top, and a tattoo of red flowers on her right arm. she is also resting her chin on her hand. she is squinting. she says, “Help me out here. How do I describe like… I use she/her but in a masculine way.”

the second panel shows them in a more cartoony style turned to face each other with speech bubbles above their heads. the one blue-haired one holds her chin in her hand while making a finger gun and resting her other arm on the table. the purple-haired one leans back with her arms crossed behind her head and her eyes closed. she says, “Like I’m a girldad.” The other responds, “A short king.” She says, “A cowboy.” The other says, “She’s just some guy.” She echoes, “I’m just some guy!” Outside of speech bubbles, it says “Yeah, same here” to the left of the blue-haired one and “You get it” between them.

The third panel shows them leaning towards each other and pointing at each other. Squinting and eyebrows raised, the blue-haired one says, “A she/sir.” The other excitedly responds, “She/sir!!”

The last panel is the pair gripping each other’s fists and both saying, “She/sir.” end id.]

Happy mušḫuššu monday everybody

Your characters all imply the existence of different kinds of entities or forces in the setting: if anyone plays the Mountaineer, there are cryptids and stealthy hunters. If anyone plays the Deserted, there are aliens and spacetime anomalies. However, you also have skills and powers to help deal with the horrors that are out there!

During the month of May, I'll make each day a character for different games I like.

Shamash - Defy the Gods

(Oh, and by the way. He's on Artfight! :>)

I've also tried messing with aseprite to create a kind of "glitch" effect.

"Glitched" version below, warning for eye strain/chromatic aberration effects!

things fall apart and there’s anarchy everywhere; falcons fly freely and can’t be compelled.

Dimming the tide there is blood in the water and everywhere customs of innocence drowned.

Held by the worst is a fervent intensity; lacking conviction the best run aground.

Surely there must be some kind of apocalypse; surely epiphany must be at hand!

Visions unbidden from Spiritus Mundi of something awakening out on the sand:

Head of a man with a leonine frame and a pitiless gaze that’s as blank as the sun;

sleep became nightmare by passage of centuries long before eons of slumber were done.

Higgledy piggledy, beast of antiquity, imminent, just as the prophecies warn,
