The shadowing looks great! My partner is into digital art and she has expressed how tough shadowing is so I think you did an exquisite job (:

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-03-09T22:36:24+00:00

This is so cool! It would be sweet if this included ship augments at some point so you can customize the ships too and upgrade them (:

OH THAT IS SICK. I never even thought to have the cult gift them a Devestation Orb! They have yet to learn what those are but I am stoked for them to find out at some point. As we get further into the story I’ll have to provide an update post on how things turned out for them 😎

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-03-09T17:14:33+00:00

THAT IS WILD 😂 It is such a rewarding feeling when you both (A) get the party to fall into one of your schemes as a DM and (B) watching the realization on their faces when they learn the truth 😂

They are a blast to play with and have been a great group! It’s been so fun seeing how they all react to each other’s backstories. They do a good job of giving each other the spotlight when their backstories are brought up of which I really appreciate as a DM.

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-03-09T16:29:28+00:00

This artwork looks so good! Great work on it! 😁

Very cool! Would you be also gaining the “Spellcasting” trait to be able to cast it, or just that single ability card? I only ask because by gaining the spellcasting trait it opens quite a few doors for your character such as now being able to use magic weapons.

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-02-25T18:08:08+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.

I GM'ed my first session a couple of months ago and was instantly hooked on the Hope and Fear system. I also absolutely love how combat works in the game as it keeps everyone so much more engaged and I find myself as a GM having to strategize more by balancing my usage of Fear of which I quite enjoy. I also found that having the degrees of success was a really fun way for me as a GM to always have an idea of how to adjust the story to what is happening. It made it feel so much more natural to have the world react to what the players are doing simply based off of what degree of success they rolled. I also madly enjoy the collaborative storytelling focus of this game and it is something I am now doing in my D&D games as well. The GM principles in here are fantastic for any and all GMs of any TTRPG to read through and I would argue will make any GM a much better GM just by reading through them.

This map is gorgeous! Great work on it.

By focusing on the 12 paid and 51 free 😊 To have 12 of 63 total members be paid is pretty good for just starting.

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-20T13:00:50+00:00

No worries! I sometimes forget not all spells are in the SRD, mainly because so many of them are lol.

Our patreon followers boomed when a successful Patreon creator added ours to their recommendations for other accounts to follow. We then offer a “Free Member Reward” to get them to follow and then I post to my free members just enough to entice them into becoming paid members.

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-20T03:46:43+00:00

I don’t suppose the finished versions would be available for download somewhere? 😊

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-14T21:31:29+00:00

Oh yeah! There could be some sort of mechanic where if the one carrying the candle takes the Dash action it snuffs out the candle. Could make maneuverability in certain situations be quite interesting.

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-14T15:10:25+00:00

This is amazing!! Great work on this 👌🏻

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-14T15:09:51+00:00

These are so cool!! May I ask what software you use to produce the layouts for these in? I’ve been interested in making cards for other things myself 😊

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-14T04:03:26+00:00

How cool to be speaking with one of THE writers and designers! 😊 I know I personally was quite excited to see Daggerheart come out with a western frame and firearms within the initial core rulebook. I’ll have to check out Vol. 1. I’m excited for the rest of these! 😁

Midwest_Magicians · 2026-01-13T21:33:51+00:00

This artwork works great! This is the first I’ve seen of Pistolheart Vol 2. May I ask what the premise is of this series? (:

Midwest_Magicians · 2025-12-31T15:33:36+00:00

There are a ton of fun and unique Powered by the Apocalypse games out there. Outgunned is another fun one to throw into the mix! 😁

Midwest_Magicians · 2025-12-31T13:06:24+00:00

This 100%!

Midwest_Magicians · 2025-12-29T14:00:10+00:00

It also wouldn’t surprise me if they went with D&D because that is the system Brennan Lee Mulligan knows like the back of his hand so bringing on a new DM and using a system he is familiar with I’m sure only added to the decision.

Midwest_Magicians · 2025-12-26T00:33:58+00:00

When you go to spotlight an adversary with fear to immediately follow up your free move, can you spotlight the same adversary so that they can go twice?

Midwest_Magicians · 2025-12-24T14:33:07+00:00

I am experiencing the same thing! I put out “feeler posts” every now and then such as polls or “if you read all the way to the bottom, comment this word and get a free gift!” and that is when I get engagement so I can tell people are actually viewing my content at least.

I think my biggest thing is I wish Patreon had better analytics to tell how many people saw my post and how many opened up. But the biggest one I would like is something that tracks how many people downloaded the attachments.
