So, I've been vibing on Dark crystal for a while, and I've been putting some work in on Echos of Rebellion, fic coming soon. But, my friend introduced me to the concept of ArtRPGs, and I'm a little intrigued by the process on making one. So, since I've got a lot of work done for the TTRPG I haven't gotten to run for dark crystal, I'm putting some feelers out on possibly doing an Arpg for Dark crystal.

And yes I know how things end, I have a work around for that. So the game would be fine.

This would likely be hosted through toyhouse on a private discord and such, I'm still working that out. I may also make a community for it here, nothing is decided yet.

But this is a general interest check, some things I know will be happening-

Races that can for sure be playable:

-Gelflings

-Firelings

-Podlings

-Constructs

-certain kinds of Arathim (per the rpg book)

-Makrak

-Gruenak (possibly, under review)

All the clans will be playable, as well as a few additional things that will be discussed later.

Skeksis, Mystics, and Urskeks are locked to npcs, for story purposes.

There will be pets.

Please pop the poll if this is something that may interest you at all, I'll post more as I put info together.

LITERALLY ME, i'm also AroAce

Text version:

Shitty UrSkek design sketch thing. I'm one of those ppl that hc UrSkeks as non organic beings. I personally see them as casing for urru and skeksis halves, reflecting everything through it yet ultimately corrupted with itself. It is crystal like in face and crowns around it are time and space literally cracking around them for they're light and speed of light and everything else. Their faces shift like one would move around broken glass if need be. Many other thoughts but mostly the idea is that it's eldritch. And they're something hold urru and skeksis within rather then actual beings? Hivemind situation mb.

Lot # 87. Hand-Painted Brian Froud urSkeks Artwork - Sold on Propstore.com, March 31, 2025

"urSkeks artwork hand-painted by conceptual and creature designer Brian Froud for the production of Frank Oz's and Jim Henson's fantasy film The Dark Crystal.

Froud hand-painted this piece onto a cardboard panel and expertly smudged it to give the subject an ethereal glow. He hand-signed his name and inscribed the date "1981" within the artwork in the bottom right corner. Additional annotations of "NO7, "13 3/8," and "50.1%" are handwritten in the right corner of the bottom border, while "11 1/2" is handwritten in the top border.

This artwork appears on page 21 of The World of the Dark Crystal book, which describes it as "a depiction of an urSkeks, as yet unidentified in etched phosphor inlay on a blue jadeite slab. The coronas of superabundant energy around the head, the circling tides that flow around the heart, and the shimmering connections with the earth that suggest constantly reforming triangles are particularly well displayed." Dimensions: 31" x 19.5" (79 cm x 49.5 cm)"
