M Helsdon Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 As I have two illustrations I have decided to create a small (five or six page) booklet on shovel-tusker war elephants, which I will put on JC for a $ or less. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Helsdon Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 This slim illustrated booklet explores the use of the mighty war elephants of Fonrit, one of the regions of the southern continent of Pamaltela. It explores the diet and training of the feared shovel-tusker elephants, and their use on campaign and when deployed in battle. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/328937/War-Elephants-of-Fonrit?affiliate_id=2310005 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pretty much exhausted the material I have on Wolf Pirates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindalos Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Might seem a little silly/strange, but just a guide to the clothing/fashion of different cultures and how they've changed over the years? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be really interesting! Hell, throw in stuff like everyday tools that aren't going to be covered under weaponry and the like? Stuff like adzes, hand-quarns, grain flails, etc. and maybe badges of office, like batons, etc. PURELY thinking out loud, Helsdon, not to pester. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for sure. 6 hours ago, M Helsdon said: Mark's Artesia Known World RPG is available on DriveThru. Yes, I have it and I like it. I think I read somewhere he was thinking about a new edition or a new system. RQ (remove the runes, add the arcana) would be a good fit for it, methink.
