“Initiates. Before you are heretics, doomed souls who denied your God-Pharaoh and your way of life. Your task in this, the final Trial, is to kill each of them.“
Today marks the final Trial, and the final episode of the Amonkhetstoryline – the “mid-season finale” before the start of the Hour of Devastation story! “Judgment,“ by Doug Beyer and Alison Luhrs, follows the warrior Samut as she faces an acutely personal trial – whether to convince a friend to let go of his deeply-held beliefs, or to let go of him instead.
Next week creative team members answer your questions in a Creative Team podcast. And Hour of Devastation stories kick off June 7!
In the not so distant past, Samut and Djeru were the best of friends and destined for glory. What happened on one fateful day shaped both of their futures.
Just a cute li’l story about a few young scamps in Amonkhet’s recent past. You know, harmless! I mean, nothing happens that would guide the paths of young warriors who would go on to impact the entire foundations of Amonkhet society, or like, ominously set the tone for a whole world’s future, or anything. This week’s story is “Trespass” by Michael Yichao, part of the Amonkhetstoryline!
“This is how it’s supposed to be.” Gideon undertakes the Trial of Ambition along with other initiates, and the trial takes him on a journey of enlightenment about the world of Amonkhet.
This week’s story is “Brazen” by Michael Yichao! It’s episode 6 of 8 in the Amonkhetstoryline!
These are some more pictures of my dice designs inspired by the Amonkhet / Hour of Devastation sets for Magic: the Gathering.
The spindown version of these designs for ten-sided dice can be used as life counters that count from 100 to 0. The versions with regular numbering can be used in role-playing games or other tabletop games. Al of these dice are well balanced to give a fair roll.
My newest dice design is heavily influenced by the same ancient Egyptian art that was also the inspiration for the upcoming expansion set for Magic the Gathering: Amonkhet.
The main shape of this ten sided die (D10) is based on two five sided obelisks, and the detailing shows the Nicol Bolas horns motif that is featured on a lot of cards from this set.
Two of these spindown D10′s can be used to keep track of life totals ranging from 1 to 100. They are available in a range of metals with different finishes. Check them out here.
I also made a smaller steel version and a plastic version, of which I will post some pictures in a later post.
