This was a really fun commission I did a few years ago for a fantastic ttrpg project that I hope sees the light some day. A city where its residents represent the different stages of death? Yes please. #ttrpg
Borrowers sprout beneath the floorboards and heavy shelves never moved. You might realize your house is clean. Your clothes have been mended. Your children thank you for a lullaby you didn’t sing them last night. All will be fine, until they think you’ve noticed them. fomoria.com
A Forlorn Earthbound offers their ardor and discipline to nature’s hidden pulse, binding themselves to the slow will of the earth. Where the call comes from, they couldn’t say. But the fervor with which the stuff of the earth itself drives them thumps in their chest all the same. fomoria.com

I can't believe this, but my TTRPG books Menagerie of Unbearable Things and The White Horse of Lowvale are both nominated in the ENNIES for Best Adventure (short form), Best TTRPG related product, and product of the year! Like, wtf?? I'm in happy tears and I can't stop.
The Children of the Sun believe the Eldritch are tools, not allies or masters. They see themselves as saviors, destined to reclaim the Golden Age and lead the Folk back to the Surface, to bathe again in the sacred light of the Sun. fomoria.com #fomoria
Trekking from Stratum to Stratum isn’t for the weak willed. It takes cunning, courage, and conviction. Dauntless Pathfinders shift the earth, eager to uncover its hidden secrets and its dangers as well. Each path offers a reason to test your will and delivers a sense of purpose. fomoria.com
A Tragic Talewright speaks in riddles like a Sunlight they’ve never known, warm and melancholic. A purveyor of tales, your poetry captures your audience, makes them forget about the Darkness for a fleeting moment. And before they realize, the moment is gone, and so are you. fomoria.com #fomoria
For the Graceful Nightingale, their trade is subtlety. Calculated gestures, words honed to razors, steps soft as falling dust. A trader of whispers, always poised to strike. Traditions are not just trades, but secrets passed down. The knowledge of the elders, the songs of the ancestors. #fomoria
I was going for a children's book style, while telling a really dark story. I still like the contrast, and maybe one day I will take back this project. Brings back a lot of memories.
Found one of my oldest personal projects. This one was called "Tales of the White Forest", from 2013. It was a collection of stories featuring different characters of a forest frozen in eternal winter, revealing the mystery through these snipets.

Brinejaws protect their soft, exposed flesh with shells. As they grow, they use iron pots, skulls, ruins, a shipwreck, an entire reef... they never stop growing. There are Folk tales about brinejaws as big as islands out in the Stygian Sea, whole ecosystems growing on their backs. fomoria.com
Today it is a Prophet. Tomorrow, it will become a Saint. Hiding in the dark, fattening in offerings and faith. Feed it enough, and it will emerge a God. It will bring wealth. It will bring ruin. Kingdoms will crumble. Zealots will kill in its name.
Each hunt is sacred. Each kill is bound in silk and carried on their backs. When the weight is too much, they molt, emerging bigger, mightier. The Arachi believe in rebirth, and only those who carry a worthy weight will be reborn stronger. The rest will feed their kin. fomoria.com #fomoria
This is how I always start. With a mess. After you look it for a bit, it starts to make sense. The fun part is figuring it out.
In a world where Folk seek to ascend, there’s no more heinous act than to seek descent. The Deep Ones do. Their whole existence is vertical, an endless pilgrimage downward. They want to drag you to their realms of silt, cartilage, and pelagic pressure, so you can see the Abyss too. fomoria.com
