Daughter made her first OD&D character and promptly choose charisma as her dump stat, without me saying or suggesting anything about it. Some things never change.
Hi, I have created a system neutral fantasy tabletop RPG setting called Nephelai and dedicated it to the public domain. The name of the setting is a reference to a play by Aristophanes. It's mostly complete but I'm adding finishing touches to the website. https://nephelai-rpg.neocities.org/ #freegaming #rpg #nephelai #philosophy #osr

"Munich artist Fritz Schwimbeck is best known for his dark, psychological pen and ink images from before 1920. Labeled a Malerpoet (Painter poet) ... [a] description for artists that created visions of pure, primeval imagination. The Malerpoeten championed black and white images because they believed that a lack of color allowed for just enough distance from reality, moving the viewer to create their own subjective understanding"

A brick-built, vaulted cellar. At the back a stair leads up out of sight. From under the stair emerges the legs of an enormous hairy spider, reaching towards a man who recoils away from it. He holds a burning lamp which casts his shadow a long way towards our viewpoint - his shadow on the bare floor takes up the lower half of the image.
A steep rocky landscape; a river winds its way towards the viewer between spurs of rock. All is covered by slightly surreal, bare and spiky trees.
A man lies in bed; a hideous bony creature with elongated, folded limbs crouches on top of him, its tooth-filled mouth is pressed against his navel.
A dark ink drawing of a stone vaulted corridor and descending staircase. An enigmatic silhouetted figure approaches up the stairs.
