Men are from Mars

Bloodsucking tree frogs, however, come from Venus.

Angels We Have Heard

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ⁹ An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰ But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 ¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

 ¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
   and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 

Merry Christmas from Curmudgeons & Dragons!

This weekend has been busy for me, on the drawing board side of things.  I've been working on the Labyrinth Lord Referee Screen all weekend, and things are coming together nicely.  But, heck, I've had a lot to draw on this project!  Sadly, the piece is too large for my scanner, so you don't get a peek at it today.  But, hopefully, very soon... Until then, enjoy this, my favorite piece from the X-Plorers book.

Lessons in Time and Space

Not only have I had the distinct pleasure of working on the Brave Halfling production of Dave Bezio's X-Plorers RPG, but I also get to pipe in from time to time over at the official X-Plorers Blog.  My first installment, one of the hazards of space travel: Warpjacking.

History:  Questor 656 was once just one of thousands of VDW's (Vulkin Droid Works) state of the art Mapperbot 600 series Explorer droids. Hundreds of these units were sent to explore and help settle Vanth during the Great Days of Exploration in the Galaxy. Questor 656, with help of the planet-wide net of communications satellites the Vulkins had placed, had roamed Vanth, mapping terrain, taking soil and vegetation samples, and observing and cataloging the native wildlife.

During his initial mission, Questor made the logical error of examining the nesting habits of the Vanthian Minelayer Bird too closely and was badly damaged in the resulting explosion. His shattered chassis fell into a nearby ravine and lay, unknown and undisturbed, for over 1000 years

Then, one day, his logic sequencer and optics flared back to life. Questor found himself in a dark burrow, being rebuilt and modified by a clan of helpful Hoblings. Many of his memory cells were still damaged beyond repair, and he was unsure what his function or mission might be. He spent many months thereafter guarding the burrow and generally doing whatever mundane tasks the Hoblings set for him.

However, during that time, his logic processor slowly but surely began piecing the parts of his old data cells back together. Finally it became clear to him what his mission was! He quickly found a way to remove his restraining bolt and escaped the Hoblings and floated off into the wilds. Raising his antenna, he quickly found that none of the his fellow mapperbots were reporting in, nor was the satellite network responding. He was on his own.

Description: Questor is a small robodroid about ½ a meter in height, floating on a pair of antigrav pods at an altitude of about 4 feet. He has a rugged appearance from the “repairs” of his former Hobling masters, and has three ventral manipulator arms, one attached with a very wicked looking machete, and has been retrofitted with an internal 9mm slug thrower.

Personality: Questor is a friendly robodroid, though he finds organics illogical and confusing at times. He enjoys the company of Vulkins, however, and will often partner with one. He is very detail focused and diligent, to the point of still broadcasting his findings from his explorations, just in case the satellite grid comes back to life one day.

 

Shape of Things to Come!

 

I haven't posted much lately, but what I have been doing I haven't been able to share.  Until today, that is!  I've been having a lot of fun doing some drawings for Dave Bezio's X-plorers,  which John Adams at Brave Halfling is going to be bringing your way soon!   Click on Robby above to see John's announcment and the full version of Robbie's  roboty goodness!

Now in Color

 

Faster Monkey Games has just released "Realm of the Technomancer", an adventure designed for both Labyrinth Lord and Mutant Future, with funky rules on how to mix your sorcery and sci-fi together into one big happy lump!  I'm extremely proud of this one, as it features my first two full color covers, both on the same product!  The physical book is of the "flip book" variety, where you flip the book over to read one product and then again to read the other.  Very funky stuff!  Get it now, either in print or in PDF!!

All Tied Up

Lots of projects on the burners, which is pretty cool.  Keeping them all straight is starting to make me feel like this poor sap.  OK, back to the salt mine!

Domo Arigato, Mr Roboto

Go, Robot Man, go!  From a new piece for an upcoming project!

Rollin on the River

Okay, so it's been awhile since I posted anything at all.  So, I give you Morlocks on an underground aquatic adventure! 

Stopsign Gorilla Commands You!

Make sure to get the new revised edition of Mutant Future!  After all, you don't want some shotgun toting gorilla getting all ugly on you, now do you??
