A Hero’s Silent Resolve: One Black and White Fan Artwork A Day for A Hundred Days

Dax Xenos Tee, who was responsible for the character artwork for BADASS! has recently put up a blog to post a single black and white piece of fanart a day.  I believe that Dax is incredibly talented and can work with the sparsest of art direction notes in ways that can surprise you.  I’m looking forward to working with him more on my future RPG projects, and occasionally commission him to do character portraits for the games I run.

 

[L5R - Never a Dull Blade] Actual Play 15 – Summer Wars

After the events of the Spring season, the team find themselves in a peculiar situation for the Lion Clan.  Conflicts are brewing across the empire, and threats both domestic and foreign are starting to rear their heads and the Lion Clan are called on to start taking sides.

This session wasn’t very long, admittedly, as compared to my usual games, but I attribute that to the fact that none of us were feeling completely 100% at the time.  Most of us were tired, and I think that it was showing in how I was running the game.  Hopefully I’ll be able to rectify the matter by the next session.  In any case, the team were more or less split up at this point.  Kitsu Tetsumi had spent the past few weeks training in the Dragon Clan mountains to learn how to develop her own Monk School.  Meanwhile, Akodo Kenji (the Omoidasu / Lion’s Shadow) and Akodo Senji (the Tactician) received two very interesting letters, one from Hida Kuon, Champion of the Crab Clan, and the other from Bayushi Kaukatsu, Imperial Chancellor and courtier of the Scorpion Clan.
