Done my half of the thing – Kait in all her manic glory.   About to shoot a selfie with her bestie Petrichor by @labdweller who now gets to do the other half with his OC.
I think I might have set an unrealistic standard for my own works to come with this one.

I should be getting a bunch of cards and character sheets finished for an upcoming #Voidfront game meant to test the new version. Instead I wrote a lot of dialogue in a fictional dialect because inspiration struck me.

Eh, mi na stallin, mi just gatherin manas fo one sharp rush to de fin-line, claro?
Calythra, #Voidfront home planet of the odd House of Chimera, mostly known for their bizarre glistening dark biomechanoids, are not the first thing that comes to mind when people think about party locations. But Calythra has a rather lively rave scene. Where's there's people, there's also party. The tentacled home of odd lab experiments makes no difference there.

I had a lot of fun designing the calythrian look and still lots of scribbles featuring other outfits waiting or a finish. Their whole style evolved from the protective gear the first settlers had to wear day and night, when the planet was still an unhabitable wasteland with literal rivers of acid. As their colonial director Dr. Mena Reis put it so eloquently, "we have picked a world that could never give us love, and yet we convinced it to do so anyway." That is Chimera in a nutshell, for better or worse.

I’m working on my sci-fi ttrpg #voidfront for about two years now and it’s kinda cute that people still pop up thinking I haven’t done any research at all on the topics it’s about, providing me with super-helpful links on how to write a ttrpg or space exploration basics.

Since I decided to do the whole Voidfront book in english, I tried polishing up my overall style of writing and I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. Also, writing Kait in english (or her version of it) is much more fun. I can practically hear her.  

“Oooh – ya remember dat one time ya let mi blow up de gas tank?” Kait glances up from the cockpit console, all grin and sparkle.

“You’re going to have to be much more specific than that. Also, I’m fairly certain I never explicitly told you to blow anything up.”
Liam replies, half-focused on the scanner readouts flickering across his HUD, shooting her a brief side-eye.

“Was implied.” Kait shoots back, smug as anything.

“It absolutely was not.”

“Ya don’t even know which boom mi talkin’ ‘bout!” Kait leans back, throwing him an exaggerated look of disbelief.

Liam exhales slowly. “That is … very much my point.”

“Anyway –” Kait waves it off, “dat ting, fancy place, full suit-suit deadsoil types, ha?”

Liam freezes. Then – eyes widen. Headset comes off.

“Oh my – the embassy. YES, I remember that.”

“Was peak, bhai!” She beams.

“It was a disaster! We had to shoot our way out!” Liam snaps back, eyes flickering with the memory.

“I know, right?!” Kait lights up even more. “Total rolla night. Mi got to wear dis glitter-glow cocktail dress – ya remember dat? Mi looked rad as voidfire.”

Kait is very clearly remembering a completely different event.

Liam stares at her, deadpan. “I don’t know, Kait. The bullet-dodging, the pain, and the near-incineration may have somewhat overshadowed whatever fond memories I might have had of your … dress.”

“Bhai, tu got real talent for pickin’ only de sad bits.” Kait frowns at him.

“We had to jump a wall into the canal! The water was – I don’t even know what that was. My skin itched for days!” Liam scratches his arm reflexively, just remembering it.

Kait shrugs. “Told ya – invest in better skin augs, no? Easy fix.”

Liam throws his hands up, turning away in defeat.

Kait, completely unfazed, leans back in her seat. “Still say – was fun night. We should run it back sometime. Lil’ glitz, lil’ glamour … maybe less canal, more champagne fountain next time, ha?”

Just seeing a 4-second clip of my characters in motion makes me yearn for a #voidfront animated series. I certainly have enough stories to tell.
But, err, I should focus on finishing that damn book first before reaching for the friggin' moon.
Meet Barrikad, an inspector of the mighty Manticore house, specializing in transforming tech. Blessed with a keen eye, good instinct and a well-aligned moral compass, he's not exactly a favourite among his superiors who prefer to not rock the shape-shifting boat.

Wanted to try something slightly different this time. I think it worked. Colouring this will be enjoyable, I think.

Completely overhauled the way combat works in my #Voidfront #ttrpg because the traditional D&Dish approach wasn't doing it for me. I need something more cinematic, putting a stronger emphasis on the narrative aspect of action and combat scenes with dynamic flow and turns that are quick to resolve.

I think I got it and it is a bit different than the standard "hit point" approach many other games have. It works pretty well in simulation, now I need to see if it works in actual play as well. If it does the way I *think* it does, it'll be pretty awesome, actually.
