(Early Access/Preview) Gloves of the Gecko

Hello, dear patrons! While Gabe is away, here's our next shiny in text form: the Gloves of the Gecko!

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Lined with grooves and magical adhesives that only stick at will, these gloves mimic the stickiness of geckos to great effect. It has 3 charges that are recovered every day at dawn.

Adhesive Grip. You can freely move up, down and across vertical surfaces and even the ceiling while wearing these gloves, but n...

(Update) A short break - of sorts

Hello, dear patrons. I'm very saddened to announce that Gabe's grandfather with whom he spent most of his childhood has passed away today. Gabe will be taking a break, so we won't have new art for a while, probably a few days.

In the meantime, I'll keep on writing and I'll bring you our releases in text-form only, updating the posts with the full cards and art when Gabe comes back to work.

As always, thank you so much for the support and hope you're understanding of the situation....

(Early Access) Forager's Friend

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's first shiny: a more utility-focused one, made for exploration and comfort while travelling.

"Well aware of the vestigial consciousness that unites all plants in a given environment, the elves have researched on ways to communicate and befriend them for ages. Forager's Friend is a straight-forward application of this research and many adventurers pay a hefty price to have one of them in their escapades".

Thank you so much for the support!

(Exclusive Content) Weeper

Hello, dear patrons! I've finally finished moving houses, so here's last week's exclusive shiny: Weeper.

"The monarchs of Weeper’s land were decided by the stone which it now carries on its guard. If the red stone were to weep when a candidate stood over it, they were crowned. Weeper was forged for ease of use, being handed down in a quicker ceremony, but also for power: intimate with the hands of monarchs, it strikes swift and deadly".

Thank you so much for the support and here...

(Early Access) Lightslinger

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's second release: Lightslinger!

(Exclusive Content) The Mercurial Lyre

Hello, dear patrons! Here's last week's exclusive shiny: the Mercurial Lyre, wrapping-up our Dagda inpired releases. Sorry for the delay, I'm moving to a new house and things are hectic.

"The Dagda knows that the hearts of people are closely linked to the changing of seasons, different emotions being conjured by each of them. His lyre was made to pull on this relation, each of its strings connected to one of the seasons".

Thank you all for the support!

(Exclusive Content) Crown of the Dead Star

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's last release.

"The influence of the stars over the lives of mortals is recognized by mystics in most cultures, leading to their use as guiding lights and signs of fate, and to their worship. Deep in the black skies, though, there exists a dead star charged with malice and who bears no goodwill to mortal lives.

This dead star sends dreams and gifts, dominating people of note to further their malicious desires in worlds across the multiverse"....

(Early Access) Abyss Watcher

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's second release: Abyss Watcher.

"The old adage goes that the Abyss might stare back at one obsesed with it. The piece of the Great Darkness contained in this orb scrutinizes those who gaze into it, but offered great power, who's strong enough to resist?".

No exclusive variant for this one after a great streak of shinies with variants, but I couldn't figure out what to do with it to give it variants with the central mechanic being the curses i...

(Update) On our booklets

Hello, dear patrons! Many of you are aware of the booklets we released in 2021 - Shiny's Sundry of Animated Objects and Slimy Ooze - and that they were made available to our patrons in the months of their releases, but afterwards could only be acquired in our ko-fi shop.

We have decided to make them available to $5 patrons and onwards in perpetuity. They're already available in the new Booklet Archive post and we'll probably update the cards we released for them in our old format to our...

(Early Access) Dark Thirst

Hello, dear patrons! Let's begin this good year with our first 2023 shiny: Dark Thirst!

"In the rare occasion of a vampire's victim dying due to its wounds instead of being killed by the creature or transformed into one of its thralls, the curse of vampirism can seep into their bones, leaving an undying thirst marked upon them.

This dagger was crafted with a set of such accursed remains, ever longing for blood".

Thank you all so much for the support!

Hello, dear patrons! Here's the second release for our Monster Week #4!

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's first release - part of our impromptu Monster Week #4 -, the animated armor-inspired Amber Guardian!

Thank you all so much for the support! And it seems that one of the other monsters is already decided with a ...

(Poll) Monster Week #4

Hello, dear patrons! Our next release will be an animated armor-inspired one... so we decided to make a quick poll to decide on the other two releases for the week, taking inspiration from monsters once again!

I'll be taking a look at the poll once I'm writing the second item, but I'll let it run until friday morning, when I should be writing saturday's release.

Vote on the two monsters you wish to see itemized the most!

(Exclusive Content) Terminus

Hello, dear patrons! As you know, holidays got our schedule a little jumbled, but here's last week's exclusive release.

"As autumn brings the end of summer, so do ravens for life when they feast on a corpse's eyes. Terminus channels the symbols of endings as powerful magic, capable of ending threats with the precision of a raven's beak.".

Thank you so much for the support!

Brinegrasp

Hello, dear patrons! Bit of a packed week for us around here with family coming over for the holidays and whatnot, so we're in a bit of a rush! Sorry for the lateness on the second release.

"The true depths where not even light can shine are terrifying environments, hostile to life itself. This shield was made with scraps that ressurfaced from such places, bearing their grudge against the surface in the form of a cursed and deadly brine.".

Thank you all for the support and see you...

(Early Access) Spotted Hunter's Coat

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's first release: the Spotted Hunter's Cloak!

"Hunters tipically wield the capcities of intellect to hunt: strategy, patience, weapons. There are those, though, that seek the spirit of natural hunters as inspiration, donning their spots to receive their instincts when seeking their prey".

(Exclusive Content) Crimson Guard

Hello, dear patrons! Here's this week's exclusive content and the final piece of the vampiric set: Crimson Guard!

"The Crimson Guard perverts nature itself by turning a creature’s own essence against themselves, taking hold of their blood to empower its wearer and strike their enemies down. It mirrors the blood-infecting nature of vampires, making it poisonous and cruel".

(Exclusive Content) Steel-petaled Flower

Hello, dear patrons! Here's last week's exclusive release: the Steel-petaled Flower!

Coming later with this week's first release :)
