Beware the Ghastronaut!

Kind of tapping an old Scooby Doo vibe here, but you have to admit, an undead astronaut is kinda cool...Anyone want to stat this guy up for X-Plorers or Tales of the Space Princess?

Shooting the Moon

I normally don't talk about this stuff on C&D, but since it's such a large chunk of what's happening now, I will. As some of you might already know, I am diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Colon cancer, and Jenn and I have been dealing with this for years now.

Sometimes when dealing with cancer treatment, it gets to feeling like you are on a perpetual treadmill of chemo and scans to see what the chemo is doing, and that this goes on and on without much real hope of changing things. And this is how things were feeling for us.

But, sometimes hope is where you least think it will be. Today is one of those time when hope becomes apparent. Today we are starting a new, and
I think, better approach to my cancer. Through diet and excercise, new drugs we hadn't tried, and maybe even a touch of surgery, we're going at it differently. We are stepping off the hopeless treadmill, and daring to live.

Shooting at the Moon, if you will.

New X-Plorers cover rocketing it's way to a store near you!

John at Brave Halfling has a new print of X-plorers headed to game stores soon, and I got the honor of doing the art for both the front and back covers! Read all about it at http://www.xplorersrpg.com/2012/05/new-x-plorers-cover-going-to-game.html?spref=bl

I think I may be in trouble...

Just finished this one up today. That poor redshirt looks familiar...hmm...

Robot X-4 Begins the Search

Into the Shadow Vale

 

The Shadow Vale Player's Guide for Torn World is out and available on RPGNow!  Alyssa Faden has done a wonderful job with this and it is a product definitely worth your while.  Plus, this marks the first Pathfinder compatible product I've done art for, which is some sort of milestone, I think... Fear not, Old Schoolers, this fine product would be quite easily used for your purposes as well! 

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Space Fortress...

This weekend was a quiet one, which was nice to have.  Spent a lot of my time reading John Stater's excellent Tales of the Space Princess game, which is just a beautiful thing.  If I have to sum up Space Princess in a sentence, it would be: A dungeon crawl on the Death Star.  It's approach is just so straight forward, and the nods to classic science fiction of television and the movies are so unabashed, Space Princess charms you right away.  I usually don't go into reviews and things here on Curmudgeons, but I do like Space Princess a lot, and haven't seen something as imagination charged as this since Encounter Critical.

Which leads us to the Ro-Man above, lurking in the Space Fortress.  Obvious nod to Robot Monster here!
