@edheil It's so nerfy.
How can you write about Opsis Mother of Venom, in a font that looks like it hangs out with Comic Sans at the weekend.
@Printdevil how dare you criticize the font, it was chosen by Pithekos himself

Omegakron! – Akron’s Fantasy/Sci-Fi Role-playing Game
History of Novos Akros from Steve Felix on Vimeo. Very few small cities have their own fantasy games, which is what makes Omegakron one of the ultimate Akron-related collectable oddities. Ohio native Tom Moldvay cut his teeth in the role-playing game industry in the early 1980s by developing guides for Dungeons and Dragons as well as…

Omegakron is quite a mad scenario. I always felt it was like the players were in Star Trek and beamed down into the middle of "someone else's game"

@SJohnRoss and one can't quite tell whether this is something where the artist cuts loose like that or whether he is finding himself the executor of the art director's highly specific fetish interests and is doing the best he can with whatever reference he can source

@SJohnRoss @edheil I've heard it described as Tom Moldvay's D&D homebrew, which seems reasonable.

@SJohnRoss not familiar with them! I associate the name Lejentia with Steve Crompton artwork, and as Cromp is responsible for Demi The Demoness, the idea that an RPG product he's associated with is in that category isn't too surprising.

@Printdevil @edheil Isn't that some premium Souvenir? I fucking love that font! And we all probably know why.

Just downloaded a copy of Lords of Creation (1983) from some sketchy PDF site. I owned it eons ago but haven't had my copy around forever and wanted to look at it again.
The illustrations, a lot of them, are hilariously, endearingly awkward. There's a whole section of animal people in the Foes Book which is just different animals' heads on scantily clad male and female bodies clearly copied from cheesecake or muscle magazines. Wild.
@edheil I remember you or someone talking about this book years ago. The name was familiar, but I never saw it before.

@JVWest You can find it on your favorite Sketchy PDF site (by searching Lords of Creation Moldvay PDF or the like)

@SJohnRoss although I understand Crompton ended up a MAGA type so that kind of undercuts my enjoyment of his work, fun freak vibe or not
