Cantrip Spellcrafting Mechanic - Arcane Academy Ep. 2

I knew you didn't want to be waiting long for this.

This was a ton of fun to develop and make - and honestly - I was looking forward to introducing this mechanic long before the Arcane Academy began!  Now you can bring this mechanic into your games as well!

The Rules are pretty simple:

Give your players a time limit (10 minutes honestly felt too short, would recommend 15 or 20 minutes at least).

Players go around taking cards that they want to create their own...

Lunafiera Kel'mitore WIP - The Miss Demeanor

Currently working on Lunafiera's character art for next week's premiere of The Miss Demeanor - played by Laura Shigihara (supershigi) !   

Lunafiera was born into a rigid and academic bloodline of Elves. In her society, academic excellence was prized above anything else.  A mage with a tragic history is studied in the ways of the arcane arts - along with a friendly demeanor towards goblins!  

The Miss Demeanor premieres Saturday August 1st at 4pm PST/1pm EST at...

Captain Layton BeardThrone WIP - The Miss Demeanor

Here is a WIP first peak of Captain Layton BeardThrone played by Jirard The Completionist!  

We don't know too much about this *former* captain - except that he fights with his fists (even though he has a giant sword on his back) - and he serves as Captain Armstrong's #2 on the ship, the Miss Demeanor.  His personality is very eager, and occasionally steps on the toes of the Armstrong (both figuratively and literally)

The Miss Demeanor airs Saturday, August 1st, at 4pm...

Aeilith Malcolm - The Arcane Academy

Prideful, snide, rude - and disliked by his peers (especially Gideon) Aeilith is a highborn who wishes to seek greater knowledge at the Exodus Academy.  With a solid start in pyromancy, Aeilith has already become a fearsome foe if crossed with.  His familiar is a Fire Fox by the name of Glory.  He has stated to the party that he is a descendant of the 'Starslayer' - a legendary hero of old who defeated the Voidstar - a menace to the continent of Qethos 500+ years ago.   View Post

Nigel Valiansworth - The Arcane Academy

A crowd favorite, Nigel Valiansworth is a quiet and meek student of the Arcane Academy that immediately attaches himself to the party.  Although he doesn't have a familiar linked to him, he's a very gifted wizard already.  From what we saw, he can comprehend many languages, knows sign language, and has creative spellcrafting, including that of "Familiar Fight!" a game of his own design.

What more is in store for Nigel?  Find out Thursdays at 7pm EST/4pm PST on Twitch! View Post

Sekolath's Dagger - Magic Item

First piece of content - and you we haven't even begun!

I always enjoyed the idea of putting Magic Items in card format - not only does it give you a limited amount of space (aka lets you get straight to the point of what the item does) - but it just is a neat thing to collect!

Sekolath was a nasty little bugger who was the leader of a tribe of kobolds who were ravaging the land for food and resources.  Sekolath himself would teleport via shadows to sneak up on his enemies,...

Elenora Mordove - Arcane Academy

This is Breebunn's character, Elenora!  We just finished session 0 offline on Thursday and I learned a lot about her.  


From my gather, The Mordove family is doing all they can to rise up in both social and political hierarchy, investing a lot of energy into Elenora to promote their family name.  Elenora has been given the best tutors of the land from an tutor who taught her Elvish in the hopes to become a superior magister, to an etiquette tutor to teach her h...

Aldoras WIP - Arcane Academy

Al was the first to receive the artistic treatment in the IO campaign setting - and already I knew Seabear was a fantastic fit for what I wanted to go for in this world.  Eventually we decided to make him look more youthful, since he appeared more in his middle ages then a student (although I would love an Arcane Academy Night School campaign where all the students are middle aged)

Aldoras "Al" Thelerian - Arcane Academy

Aldoras is played by JoeFudge for The Arcane Academy - starting Thursday, July 16th at 7pm EST/4pm PST on twitch.tv/brettultimus !

A little more about Aldoras :

Aldoras was, as many saw, lucky to be born into the Thelerian family. It is said they have Elven blood going back many into their distant ancestry, though that has far been lost. None of the last few generations even have pointed ears. Yet, they take a lot of pride in this as they believe they have power in their blood...

Welcome to IO!

I'm so excited you've decided to stop by and check out our IO Patreon Page!  This Patreon will be used to fund the creation of great assets (like the logo you see here by our resident artist Seabear!

As funding continues to expand I'm looking into additional asset creation beyond art (Maps, custom music, video editors, etc)
