So… I drew all the player characters from the Dungeon World campaign Seasons of Hieron/Winter in Hieron, of the podcast Friends at the Table. You guys. Y'all. It’s such an incredible feat of collaborative storytelling, I love it so much.
Please listen to Friends at the Table.

Bronze Head From the River Thames
Discovered near the old London Bridge in 1834, it is the only lard-scale portrait of Hadrian that survives from Britain. The head Originally probably belonged to a full length statue that may have stood on the Roman bridge over the Thames or in an important public square, such as the forum of Londinium, not far away. The head appears to have been made in a local workshop and differs from Roman metropolitan models in a number of details. It has been argued that the craftsman who produced it had to work from a two-dimensional source, such as a coin. However, Hadrian’s characteristic earlobe creases are clearly marked. - The Emperor Hadrian, Thorsten Opper
