Description

HI DA Fam!!!

Here is an illustration for the new Table-Top RPG game “Wildskies: Europa Tempest” published by Wet Ink Games.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/2…

Europa Tempest is the first book to explore the world of Wild Skies. Its focus is Europe, where everyone is still reeling from the aftermath of the Great War, which never really ended. Instead, 1918 was the year revolutions on the homefront engulfed all of the major combatants. Nations fragmented and loyalties were confused. In the years since then four major nations have remade themselves from the chaos. England is now the center of the Hedge, a fully-militarized authoritarian state with the world's most powerful air navy. France remains divided between the fascists and republicans, both claiming to embody the French spirit. Germany is still ruled by the Kaiser and has built a ruthless land fighting force ready to flex its muscles. In Russia, the Bear Tsar officially rules from his flying palace but many act in his name advancing their own agendas. In between and on the margins mercenary companies and air pirates eke out a living.

         Many mercenaries are ex-soldiers from one of the old national armies with nothing to go back to. Others are young adventurers looking to make their own way in a dangerous new world. Free spirits, criminals, political refugees and opportunists travel together and call the Wild Skies home. Using the easy and intuitive character creation system, players can create the countless animal crew members and amass great wealth, take them on a journey of self-discovery or lead them on a path of revenge against an old foe.

         Wild Skies comes with 30 different animals types to explore to maximize the story-telling potential of your game. Who better to outfox the authorities than a fox? What about an elephant bouncer who never forgets a face? The opportunities are endless. Even if humanoid animals just aren't your thing, you also have the option to play the game with human characters. Just skip that step in character creation.

         The traditional powers of Wild Skies still operate and maintain massive military forces, with unique fighters, bombers, airships and weapons, but many of the mercenary companies roaming the skies can bring enough power to a conflict to rival many of the smaller powers of Europe. Europa Tempest examines all of these military forces and some of the most prominent mercenary groups, including their leadership, organizational structure, unique equipment and common tactics.

         Wild Skies is powered by a new role-playing system with numerous elements that make it stand out from the herd. The most important is the story-driven system that combines the alignment and experience systems into one, fluid game mechanism known as the Moral Compass. Players choose what is important to their characters and what each character brings to the overall story. The characters then strive to attain the goals through each session and the collective story-telling with the rest of the group. This rewards players for playing their characters according to the motivations each player sets forth at character creation since everyone is actively engaged in the development of the story and subplots, leading to a rich and immersive experience.

The Game was successfully funded via Kickstarter and is in its last stages of production, so I’m happy to be able to share some of the art that I did for it.
