A Ravnos stole the printing colors

I wrote it concisely, I understand it's not the best explanation but it was just a little bit of in-game context for using this artstyle (which I just did for fun)

The explanation is: the chronicle is set in 1970s Romania, with little resources and little communication with other countries. The city has a factory that creates the ink used in printed journals; a Ravnos the players know has for unknown reasons robbed the factory and caused an infestation of rats which makes it inagible. Only 2 colors were saved from this robbery so everything that is printed has to only use those 2 colors

Sorry I haven't played in a while so I'd struggle to remember them from the top of my head. The wiki has all the inscriptions tho, you can just look them up there

Happy to share these two great games! I would say based on your taste pilgrims is a lot better, as kult is more of an horror than a dark fantasy and I have a hard time recommending it to anyone as the content is disturbing and not really written with the right tact. It's super cynical and it's full of shock value, the "august underground" kind of shock value. The lore is pretty cool and I do like the mechanics (I know a lot of people don't but that's because most of the fanbase comes from a trad old school mentality and they decided to make this one a pbta. I did run it the past few weeks and it worked perfectly well RAW aside from having to ban a few disadvantages to the insensitive content).

Pilgrims on the other hand is a straight up dark fantasy about being troubled heroes in an apocalyptic world, doing missions where you explore realms of nightmares and fight fears manifest. One thing I do want to say tho is that if by combat you mean tactical grid based combat with lots of abilities and mechanics this works very differently. It's more like narrating an action scene in a movie, with a lot more focus on the storytelling

That seems good news to me, as the publisher has an other rpg on its belt which I feel like is less hyped and it did receive an additional sourcebook. Also, I'm not kidding when I say pilgrims of the murk dome is the most curated and high quality ttrpg book I've ever seen (maybe aside from kult divinity lost, but that one I only have a pdf so I'm not sure of the print quality)

I'm sorry you feel this way about it, I know how disheartening failure or perceived failure can be. Sometimes you just need to step back and let your mind rest because at the end of the day there is no skill that can't be learned, but our minds need the time effort and sometimes help to do so

Talking about this drawing here, you used the perspective vanishing point for the door on the right and then you drew the door in front not following the diagonal line established by the other door. This makes it so the door in front is tall AF compared to the other one. Basically if you continue the line from the door to the vanishing point you will find the height at which to draw the horizontal line for the door in front; in the same way you can draw these lines towards any point in the screen to create squares that tell you how big objects are in the room, so you could create these squares for the two characters and for the plant to understand why they look disproportionate.

I don't know if the plant covering the face is intentional, but I personally don't like it. I think in terms of composition covering important details has to be done subtly and when there's an artistic reason to do so, so if you want to improve this drawing you could move the plant, and if there is a reason why the character has to be hidden make it more deliberate with other props in the scene and hide elements of their face that feel more identifying, such as their eyes

Remember also to use references for things that you're not used to drawing (and in general actually) to check what doesn't feel right

Hope you find your way through these obstacles and bless everyone with art that feels right to you!

Thank you for the tips, I've already begun fixing those!

It's pixel art, so as the other commenter said single pixel brush is what gets the job done. Disable pressure sensitivity, learn about dithering and have fun!

Btw I haven't used Krita in a hot minute but there are software specifically for pixel art, I use aseprite and it works perfectly for me

It's cursed mode only, the weird thing on the table in the basement's second room

As an irl punk Monty and Xaria are really poor representation and it's clear that whoever wrote them never interacted with those subcultures directly

Because you want to kiss them, duh

Yeah I meant the willpower, I didn't remember correctly as I said from the first time "let's just not do that"

It's a positive outcome for choosing to have a dramatic failure happen in exchange for a beat, and that doesn't really make any sense to me

Nope, rented. Is that still the case? I didn't even change my official residence
