Many WORLDS to discuss
June has arrived. Somehow. How we can possibly already be halfway through the year is something I am struggling to process, but through my allergy infused haze, I have some stuff I've been working on to share with you all.
If you aren’t already subscribed to this newsletter, don’t hesitate to do that now:
Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition Cover Reveal!
We are still hard at work putting together the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition, which we'll be Kickstarting in the fall. Last month, I put the finishing touched on the front cover, so I'm excited to be able to share it now with you all! (You're seeing it first before anyone!)
I have much more art to create for the interior of the book, so watch this space for more in the coming months!
The Parthenogenesis of Hungry Hollow
Speaking of Liminal Horror, today the Backerkit launched for the newest module: The Parthenogenesis of Hungry Hollow. I didn't work directly on this one (rare for a mainline Liminal Horror product, but I'm too busy with the Deluxe Edition right now), however I did get the opportunity to playtest it and all I can say is wow! What a game. Here's a description from the Backerkit page:
The Parthenogenesis of Hungry Hollow is the first hardback adventure module for Liminal Horror. Something strange is happening in Hungry Hollow, seemingly centered around the upcoming birth of its newest resident. Dive into the town, make acquaintance with its inhabitants, and unravel the horrid truth that lies buzzing just beneath the surface.

FROG WORLD
If you've been following this newsletter for a bit, you may have heard mention of the Mork Borg setting I'm currently working on which will be released by Exalted Funeral either later this year or the beginning of next. It's called FROG WORLD and I'm doing all the art and layout, while I'm sharing writing duties with Micah Anderson of Bastards. fame. Micah has already written most of the setting, so it's up to me to finish the writing off and complete all the artwork and layout.
Last month, I finished all 20 illustrations for the bestiary, and made some headway with the layout. There's a preview of the first spread above, but if you want to see a lot more, you can check it out on my patreon (you have to subscribe to see it, so I highly recommend you do).
I'll definitely be sharing more work as I finish it, so stay tuned for more as it comes.
Surviving Machine Parts
You may remember I made a Mothership supplement called Surviving Machine Parts for a bundle called Outer Rim Uprising hosted by The Lost Bay Studio at the end of last year (which is still available by the way!). While the PDFs were recently released to backers and preorderers, the print version is also nearly complete. We're in the proofing stage, so I wanted to share a little preview of what that looks like!
I'll also be releasing it digitally standalone through my itchio page sometime in the next week or two. So be sure to follow me over there so you don't miss it when it goes live!
Mothership Box Set
After much waiting by a relatively patient and relatively large pool of kickstarter backers, the Mothership Box Set has finally started hitting people's doorsteps over the last couple months. I got mine last week and made a little thread on twitter showing off a small selection of the art I did for it:
Got my mothership box set! I have a lot of work in here if you didn’t already know. pic.twitter.com/ssgQlUUZAE

I did a TON of work on this over the last couple years. You should definitely check it out because Mothership is one of the best TTRPGs out there (and I only work on the best).
Physical World
Every month I make a 4"x6" print and a few stickers for my Patreon subscribers who pledge on the PHYSICAL WORLD tier which is $10 or more each month. This month I made some FROG WORLD themed artwork for everyone to enjoy.
If you want to get a print and stickers every month, as well as support me so I can continue to make art like this, please consider joining my Patreon.
That's all for now. What are you up to this month? What do you think about Liminal Horror and FROG WORLD? Feel free to drop a comment or send a reply to this email. I love hearing from everyone.
Until next time
