Release the Larkiera!
Hey everyone, hope you're having a nice weekend.
The Larkiera STL files are now available for the Dweller Tier members in the usual dropbox folder link.
And I wanted to say thanks to the Patrons in the discord group for the final look to this fish, WorldShaper, the 3d modeller, asked if a ...

2023-09-01 12:57:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe Larkiera - September's first creature release
The very first fish releases! Which is pretty thematic since because of water there's a bit of a delay on the 3D print as our modeller is in Florida and the hurricane caused a few lost days. But it's coming! and on Discord you can find some nice work in progress shots.
Thanks again to everyone who voted for the...
Wayward 45 - Cave Juice
Merrrry Wayward Wednesday
So I think that hybrid encounter/trap ruleset worked and now I'm thinking about future plants that can be treated in a similar way, so here's some healing or something beneficial on the go. As I'm fleshing out the cavern biome I'm trying to think of some nice symbiote relat...

Hey everyone!
September's release will feature the first fish! The Sol'Kesh bestiary has quite a lot of aquatic creatures so it's about time the finned ones get some miniature releases, and the Larkiera is swimming in soon.

Experimental Hybrids - The Wayward Encounter
Hey everyone! I had an idea based on some talks in Discord of adding plant stats to the Bestiary.
But I'm trying something new (at least I think it's new, there's so much quality RPG content out there) and these are a bit of a hybrid between traps and creature stat blocks, they don't offer experience but they can be k...
Wayward 44 - The Glass Briar Clam
Everyone one clam up! It's Wayward Wednesday.
On Sol'Kesh, when coral reefs became indefinitely exposed to the sun, they adapted and became the Coral Strands biome. The creatures that crawl and swim around them have had to adjust to a life above and below the waves and here is something of an aquatic t...
Wayward 43 - The Shimmer Cat
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone!
So this creature is nearly a direct suggestion from one of the players on the Sol'Kesh Live play RPG, Farren. On Discord he suggested a cat that has a method for camouflage, his was more in the desert but I got this cat into the woods, using a similar...

Wayward 42 - A not peaceful walk in the woods
We have ourselves a Wayward Wednesday! And this vine here is based on a few conversations over in discord on some potential plants that thrive in Sol'Kesh, and that could potentially be used as weapons. (because of course)
I'm thinking of releasing a plant-statblock as a test based on this so that the...
Bestiary Book Direction #1
Hey everyone!
As I've been building out the bestiary book, I've been noting down the genus of animal that the Sol'Kesh creatures have evolved from. Which is technically correct, but I'm starting to think it's not as easy to grasp compared to if I instead wrote Stem Evolution instead. While a genus is b...

So I was thinking, what if cordyceps fungi hitched a ride without killing the bug... besides the fun visual if that would make evolutionary sense. So... here's my idea! and a fun little beetle

Hey everyone!
August is soon here and for the first time we're releasing a swarm-creature, the Lanceth (recently name changed since a Patron discovered the original name, Lancelet is the name of some burrowing fish-like thing)
In a few days the Ynnil will launch, adding some much needed range to the ...

Wayward Sketch #39 - Streaming Eggs
It's Wayward Wednesday you wonderful Patrons you.
I'm taking a bit of an animal break for the weekly sketches and instead fleshing out the life cycle of one of the Sol'Kesh creatures, the silvette. I tried to mimic a bit of what sharks do with their eggs by having these long strands of eggs flow in the ...

This week has seen to some torrential rains up here in Canada and what better way to celebrate a hot, wet summer than with an animal that will enjoy every minute of it.
Evolved from the Speleomantes genus of salamanders, the solmundis rests in the cool mud of the wetlands biome, waiting to dart out its harpoon-like...
Wayward Sketch #38 - Spittin' Sputil
Hey Happy Wayward Wednesday Patrons!
Two beasts in a row for the book's fishing feature, this isn't Sol'Kesh's first long ranger spitter, but I liked the idea of a school of these just launching a barrage of water and anything flying overhead.
You can find this, along with all the other waywar...

We have a winner! And one new way I'll treat these Polls is by revealing the journal entry of the creature to you much-appreciated Patreons earlier than the public release.
So thanks to you and your votes, here's the spitting lizard. Created mostly as a reason to get some more ranged attacks in from the beasts of Sol'K...
Environment Progress - The Coral Strands
Happy Wayward Wednesday everyone, it's not the usual sketch but it's some progress into the book!
Environment art is still a style I'm trying to get better at, so hopefully with the 6 biome and 6 apex predator landscape illustrations planned I'll end up adequate, a true lofty goal.
If you missed the first biome i...
