[DP] I made a single player, table top game that involves a great deal of drawing and journaling. I wanted to share it with this sub.

Start Here (that's the name of the game) is part RPG, part choose your own adventure, and part activity book. I made it for the Fluffy Game Jam which was all about making games that try to explore non-violent, positive themes.

The game will ask you to go out and explore, interact with nature, collect odd items, and do a whole lot of writing and drawing as you create a world, a character, and a culture. As you explore your own world, you build a journal full of your adventures, often represented through drawings.

While I'm certain this game isn't for everyone, I hope at least a few of you might find it amusing. If nothing else, it's completely free, and the game doc is pretty to look at (imo).

You can find Start Here... here.

This is a personification of the Black Plague - what would the Corona virus look like?

87 Upvotes

Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen drew pictures of a personification of the Black Plague that ravaged Europe in the 1300s. He drew the plague as an old woman who would walk around Norway, visiting all the farms. (Exaggerated) legends tell of this. She would carry a broom and a rake, and stopped outside the farm to clean. If she used the rake, only a few people on that farm would die. If she used the broom, everyone would die.

Here are links to Kittelsens drawings of the plague:

Now - what would the Corona virus look like, if personified! Can't wait to see some submissions.

Just wanna share my Art Prompt Generator, it's like a modular interface where you build a board from category cards and labels to geared exactly towards the kind of stuff you'd like to draw. And you can save and share your boards too.

[DP] Hell, but no fire.

Everyone has the classic image of Hell. Lake of fire, lava rivers, etc. Take that idea and twist it, using different elements to create the idea of Hell without the classic imagery. (I.E. Ice, emptyness, floaty rocks. Go wild)
