Got the fourth Isekai triptych set done! As before, the printable res versions of these will be available on http://patreon.com/tailsteak. I'm really looking forward to the end of the year, when I'll have the full set of 12 of these!
This is the first in what will hopefully be a 12-part series (one per month for 2021). These isekai triptychs are going to show a "normal" person arriving in a new world of some sort, adapting to that world, and then achieving and succeeding. I think that's the message of hope and growth we all need, this year. Printable high res files will be available on my Patreon to all patrons (patreon.com/tailsteak)
A D&D campaign where you start at Fine size (3-5" tall) in a teeny village where everyone strenuously avoids all experience. When your party inadvertently slays a monster, you all get to second level... and go up a size category. Now you're Diminutive (2x as tall, 8x as heavy), and are exiled from the village. You must travel the world for a cure that will shrink you back to normal, but every time you gain a level, you also double your dimensions.
It's A Small World After All.
Imagine that there's a popular brand of cherry bubblegum. There's nothing harmful in the formula, it's a perfectly normal candy treat, the company behaves ethically.
For some reason, you run the numbers, and this brand of gum very strongly correlates with suicide and self-harm.
There's no explanation why - the gum is not addictive or psychoactive, there's nothing in the advertising or marketing that would incite people to hurt themselves... nevertheless, the stats are clear.
