The work on my next two-page adventure is ramping up, and this time it will feature something special: two new races as class to optional use with the adventure and all upcoming fantasy two-page adventures. Below you’ll find my favorite of the two races as class done up for S&W core, S&W Whitebox and Next.
Any thoughts, suggestions or kudos are much welcomed! I hope everyone enjoys one flavor or another of this new race (and class).
note – I will hopefully have some original art for one or both the new races/classes when the next two-page-adventure (so far titled – The Cultist Pit) is released.
