I was recently commissioned a pen-of-ink drawing of a young Kaldoran nobleman who is acquainted with fire magic. In HârnWorld, this means he is a Shek Pvar journeyman (Satia Mavari) attuned to Peleahn convocation.

HârnMaster: Roleplaying in the World of Kèthîra
Earlier this week, Keléstia Productions published a new, sleek version of HârnMaster. HârnMaster Kéthîra (HMK) was written with gameplay spanning the entire Kèthîra in mind instead of just the island of Hârn.
Although I have not read all of the 436 pages yet, I have been fortunate enough to have played it during the development. And — over the years — I illustrated the weapons, the armour and the bestiary in addition to the front cover (see below).

Falls back on what he knows best,
A murderer to murder
A thief to theft
I painted another gritty character portrait. After 30+ WFRP 2e sessions, we’re embarking on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e test drive this week. As a result of the various random tables my character Klaus turned out a penniless thief.
Thonahexus issue #12 is out!
A new issue of HârnWorld fanzine Thonahexus has been published.
I was commissioned for a half-page illustration of a Morgathian priest for Matt Leber‘s article ”Ivor’s Lair”. I am happy how the altar piece of Dejekis turned out.
Lothar the Coachman
I’m playing a coachman in the Enemy Within campaign for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2. edition). Lothar has the usual coachman’s trappings, except for blunderbuss which has been replaced by a crossbow. It has proved a reliable weapon. Then again, black powder has been a great help when available in large quantities.
A moment of reflection on the way back to Bögenhafen after Death on the Reik. The events have been disturbing, to say the least.
Segedoo Bendix
Segedoo Bendix is an engineer with a physique of young Woody Allen. In a tight spot, he will be stressed out before the advantage of having four (or maybe six) hands pays off.
The Xexto figure probably has more human-like proportions than the canon would suggest. The sketch was drawn during the gaming session between taking notes and sipping tea.
Praedor 2.0
The second edition of Praedor came out exactly 20 years after its predecessor. The second edition is split into two hard-cover books: one for the players and another for the game-master.
There were several artists working on this edition, most notably Petri Hiltunen whose graphic novels the RPG is based on. I did a couple new pieces, including a bustling street scene with a retired adventurer, and a portrayal of a ritual in the ruins of Warth.
Orlanthi scholar
Despite the silence, there has been a steady progress in several illustration projects (still unpublished).
There’s also been regular gaming. Inspired by the new colorful Runequest, I sketched my character for the new Glorantha campaign starting today.
Friends, Foes & Followers
Girtah / FFF15
A new Friends, Foes & Followers batch was just released! It’s is a collection of characters written for Hârn but adaptable anywhere. The latest batch of twelve profiles is the 15th in the series, so there are already quite a few of them. This time the characters are all women ranging from knights to wizards, burglars to priestesses.
All profiles are two-page entries with stats, equipment, backgrounds and portraits. They can be used as non-player characters or characters, if you like. And it’s downloadable for free! (Thanks, Kerry)
SLVL Zine#2
The second issue of SLVL Zine, a Finnish OSR fanzine, is now out! It’s a gonzo and sci-fi themed issue with adventures, spaceships, guns and a bestiary of prehistoric monsters. I contributed a couple of monster illustrations, like the Hollywood version of Velociraptor above.
