This is Prax - dusty, sandy, hot sun/cool shade, hint of past monkey epic glories in the ruins. A real sense of Baboon culture & daily life,and atmospheric perspective. I'm there. *wipes tear from eye* Andrey Festov, has exceptional skill, vision and adaptability, He's really getting Glorantha. Love the mundane details, brings the baboon culture to life. Reminds me of the River of Cradles cover a little which had the native newtling fishermen at work on the river. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The baboons of the Monkey Ruins say the fallen ape-head statue in the background is of the great Apeymandius, King of Kings, look on my works ye Mighty, and despair, etc... Others (Philip Robin Hibbs) claim the Monkey King's name was actually Ozymandrill... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joerg Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ah oobidoo, I wanna be like you oo... There can be only king of the monkeys. At least this side of the Wastes. All hail Ozymandlouee. Looking at the video, I wonder how this could translate to the Praxian border. Jungle - not really, not even in the Golden Age/Storm Age, but at least plenty of trees then. Shadowcat companion: check, although Yinkin is a bit too big in his Bagheera shape. Telmori fosterage - that sounds quite modern. Bear companion - sounds Sylilan to me. Vultures - check. Seductive Earth Serpent - check. Longnoses - perhaps half a check. Big bad feline as opposition - should be maned rather than striped. Oakfed released - that's what Louee was asking for, wasn't it?
