After a blanket Fortification spell from Ick, Roark lead the party of heroes up a set of crumbling onyx steps and into the yawning black maw of the pyramid. Huge statues of jackal-headed men flanked either side of the entryway, a shepherd crook in on hand, a wicked hooked blade i...
2020-12-02 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostRoark von Graf crested a black dune. As he watched, a crackling green vortex swirled in the distance, throwing emerald lightning in sporadic fits and starts. Though the air was dry, the sky above roiled with bruised jade thunderheads, and the land below was a sea of dark wa...

Sooooo... Just got this bad boy in. It might just be my favorite one in the series. Thing is super epic and should probably be somewhere in the Sistine Chapel. What do you all think? Let me know in the comment below!
2020-11-26 02:06:11 +0000 UTC View PostWe were met by fire.
Beaten and bloodied, we stared at the orange and yellow flames eating through the Arch-Mage’s safe house, a thick plume of smoke, trailing up into the sky. To my frazzled mind, the gray cloud looked like a giant question mark. Fitting since I had so many ques...

Definitely one of the coolest and creepiest monsters in the new VGO deck. The Plaugebringer is an absolute powerhouse and is ripped straight from the pages of the new Portal Mage series, which is here exclusively on Patreon. What do you all think? Let me know in the comments below!
2020-11-21 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe searched the rest of the room just to be safe. Dealing with eldritch beings and ancient powers tended to make me more than a little paranoid.

I walked into the small office set aside for the Mage of the Watch, and the kid followed. My cup of Western Brew—now cold—was still on the desk, as were the reports I’d meant to read before a raid boss tore a hole through reality.
“Have a seat,” I told my visitor, and stepped arou...
2020-11-21 14:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe staircase descended down, down, down. Twenty feet, thirty feet, forty, fifty. The walk seemed to last forever.
Eventually it let out into what I could only describe as the nave of a temple, equal parts gothic citadel and a pulp sci-fi laboratory. The walls were weathered gray s...

2020-11-18 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostSpinning in a slow circle, I reached deep into the earth, feeling the sturdy power of the bedrock. Of ancient plate tectonics and stones unmoved in an age.

2020-11-14 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe entry floor had been cool and sterile—the public face of a ghastly company, trying to seem less monstrous than it really was. In a lot of ways, that entry level was like receptionist Kristi, pre-transformation: smiling, professional, clinical. The second level did away with all pre...

Well this is definitely one of my favorites, hands down. I always loved the spider riders who helped Jack take Rowanheath, and I think this one couldn't have come out any better. Hope you all enjoy it!
2020-11-12 22:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI pushed open the door and stepped out of an ol’ timey buggy, pulled by a skeletal horse, and stared up at the domineering headquarters of the Cult of Akroid, Hubside. It was a strangely lopsided building of lime-green stone, sporting thick power cables, towering antennas, and high-tech steel-s...
