“If we ever fight a monster that could control the power of heart, we’re all fucked, because that is the most powerful element imaginable. I mean, I’ll fucking stab love, I don’t care.”
AIGHT! I’ve been feeling under the weather lately (and awaiting a covid-result, which I’m 99% sure is negative), so I’ve spent my time trying to illustrate the first part of TAZ Amnesty. There are more pages, but these are the more… finished of the sketches. We’ll see how far I get. But these are a handful so far.
Also, I don’t know why I did this! Seriously - I don’t like drawing cars, plants, environments, panels, background, physical object and… yeah… most things that ain’t people. Phew ho-damn.
Anyhoo, I hope to do more; I have most of the first episode written and sketched out.
Enjoy, and please to share :) This is the first time I’m trying out comic, so pardon any sort of rookie mistakes, and please let me know if you do comics and can provide some good suggestions.
Yes, and now to one of my favourite podcasts D&D stoy arcs. The wonderful McElroy family have created a wonderful story arc, full of monsters, cryptids and wonderful characters, and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to sketch some of the npc. I adore each and every one of them. More will come.
Seeing comments in the TAZ Amnesty saying the game sounds really scripted vs people playing ala Balance/DnD so figured I could give some insight since my friends and I have also been playing MotW since February.
Amnesty is pretty true to play to how MotW genuinely goes down. It’s very much just the game play mechanics and how the core rule book tells you to play. We sometimes will have games (we usually go 4-5 hours) where you only have to role a handful of times. It’s all RP storytelling driven and specifies that players and keepers need to describe every move you make in detail as if living out a book/movie/etc. and a lot of feee wheeling creativity in what you do Vs say DnD where you have a ton of game mechanics.
It has its drawbacks and advantages, but it’s a pretty easy (though challenging combat wise since your health is so small) game to learn as long as you’re comfortable with acting and getting creative. I play a few different games in various systems and defiantly recommend this one for newbies to table toping!
If anyone has any questions about how MotW works I’m happy to answer :3!
(Photo context: my friend and my MotW bois, we always dress up for our RPGs. We play YouTube ghost hunters Alex and Steven….who are totally not based off Shane and Ryan from unsolved >_>…Alex had been secretly hiding that he was an angel sent to help avert the apocalypse. Opps. We podcast at “deaths save and rolling badly” shameless plug)

[ID: a digital drawing of Dani, Aubrey, and Jake from The Adventure Zone. The three of them are sat on a red sofa in a warmly lit room. The walls are a terracotta orange and a ceiling light is just visible. Aubrey, a dark-skinned Puerto Rican woman, has an arm around Dani. She is wearing red fishnets and a denim vest with black, fingerless gloves. Her hair is a bright orange, thick undercut. She has glowing orange eyes, multiple bronze piercings, black and red lipstick, and flame patterned eye makeup. There is a tattoo of an orange crystal on her upper arm. She is looking at Jake, who is painting her nails. Jake is a dark skinned black man with dyed blonde curly hair. He is wearing a windbreaker in neon pink, purple, and turquoise, with bi and trans flag pins on the arm, purple pants, and a pair of holographic ski goggles as a hairband. He has black eyes and freckles. Dani is a medium-skinned Japanese woman with dyed blonde hair with the roots showing. She has thick eyebrows and orange eyes, with fangs protruding her lips. She has faint freckles. She wears a beige button up, an oversized green cardigan, brown pants, and is leaning against Aubrey casually. ID end] Post link
[ID: a digital illustration of duck newton from the adventure zone amnesty, walking through snowy, purple-tinged woods with a flashlight in hand. it beams out in fluorescent yellow. duck’s shadow is lit up similarly, casting bright light on the trees behind him. the dark trees are mostly barren, and the ground looks dark pink and purple in the night.]
