A lineless illustration of a person. A white border around the image, a black background, with six turquoise lines exceeding the bounds of the border, all angled to point toward the person's head. All "curves" in the character illustration are actually sharp corners. The character wears an intense expression (kind of smiling, kind of grimacing), a studded leather jacket with a patch reading VOX on the chest, a white tank top, orange work pants, and combat boots. They're crouched down with one foot resting on the "camera," which views them from a low angle. They have a red pompadour with the sides of their hair shaved. They have many tattoos, including a shock collar on their neck, a speech bubble reading DIE on their face, and a check mark on their right hand. In that hand, they're holding a tablet-like device. Their eyes, the VOX patch, and the radiating lines are all the same turquoise color.
A squirrel poking its upper body out from the folds of a black tarp draped over a green chainlink fence. Green foliage beyond the fence.
A lineless illustration of a white man dancing in an odd but joyful way. He is wearing a wrinkly blue floral button-up shirt, grey slacks, white and pink socks, and a green cap. He has light blond hair, his eyes are closed, and he's smiling contentedly. The background is blue-green, and three orbs float behind him, overlapping each other, with inverted star shapes on them.
A white person stands in a messy room. The photo is blurry and vignetted. They wear a black and red baseball cap, thin-frame glasses, a blue short sleeve button-up, a yellow t shirt, and a black fanny pack slung over one shoulder. They look up at the camera with faux annoyance.
Discord screenshot. Text in italics reads: "Kilju slams the nearest Vox employees into a tight hug." Reply from Kestrel Reach, in italics: "Best hug ever."
A blue-tinted image of a kitten lounging on its back, with its front paws behind its head. Text reads: "repost if trying your best."
A four-panel meme. 1: A head in profile, brain filled with red scribbles, saying "I just need to get through this week." 2: A stick figure lying on their back in bed with a frazzled look on their face, thinking "I just need to get through this week." 3: A circular flow chart with four steps, all of which are "gets through this week." 4: A stick figure with a pipe and hat opens a door, asking "Are u okay bro?" A second one sits in a miasma of scribbles, saying "yes I just need to get through this week."
A painterly portrait with visible brushstrokes of a white man. He wears a wrinkled blue button-up and a green cap. His blond hair peeks out from under the cap, his eyes are tired and trained on the viewer, and he's smiling slightly.
A poem. The line breaks evoke a flock of birds in shifting "V" shapes. Top text reads: May 10 2026 / Prompt: resistance / Draft 2 / Poem text reads: my asking was my offering / Have you and I forgotten how to say "we?" / How to live as animals? / Birds migrate as a concurrent / for warmth / for direction / a shifting / vector / in class, we called it / flocking / like this / ornithologists as poets / poets as birds / a murmuration / of human starlings / Murmur this with me: / We go together
Screenshot reads: "The creatures reproduce by flaking. The young, when shed by a parent, are indistinguishable from dandruff. There is only one sex. Every creature simply sheds flakes of his own kind, and his own kind is like everybody else's kind. There is no childhood as such. Flakes begin flaking three Earthling hours after they themselves have been shed. They do not reach maturity, then deteriorate and die. They reach maturity and stay in full bloom, so to speak, for as long as Mercury cares to sing. There is no way in which one creature can harm another, and no motive for one’s harming another..."

An upside-down cityscape in black and white. The sky behind is a shimmering teal. Text in white reads: "The Devil's Musician" and "an intimate duet."
The thumbnail image for a duet TTRPG called "The Devil's Musician." The background is pinkish reds, orange-yellows, and teal. An explosion of texture and color, radiating from the greyscale couple in the foreground: a naked devil with wings and a clothed musician with a violin flying over a black silhouetted cityscape. The title is written in a white pixelated, ornate font over the bottom third of the image (the black ground below the cityscape).
The cover art for Leafy Dragon Games' Infinite Paths. A hero in the center of the image steps between three distinct, "torn" worlds. They're rendered in pink colors, carrying a staff, their hair and simple clothes blow in the wind, and their right hand is on the leftmost "world." That world is a natural landscape: a tree with a pink butterfly on a lower branch and shelf mushrooms on its trunk takes up most of the foreground. Beneath it, a large mushroom rises from green underbrush. Beyond it in the background: a lake, mountains, and a cloudy sky with a high sun. The center world behind the hero is a sci-fi landscape: three oblong, green-ish spaceships pass by in the foreground. Behind them, we see a spire-like cityscape, a bright orange sunset, and two suns -- one yellow, one pink. The rightmost world is a post-apocalyptic landscape: A long road with a pink divider line on it winds from the foreground into the background, where dilapidated buildings rise toward a starry sky, lit by pink fires. The tallest building has a large, damaged satellite dish on its top.
A doodle of a monstrous face in both magenta and cyan pen. The lines are slightly displaced, like a 3D glasses effect. The monster has a pronounced underbite with long teeth protruding up, reminiscent of an antler fish. It's growing. It has two large, glassy eyes looking up and to the right, and a smaller eye in the center of its forehead looking in the same direction. It has two large but blunt horns above either eye and two more smaller nubs between the horns. The paper it's drawn on has a dotted grid.
An edited version of the "just make it exist first / you can make it better later" image. This version shows the same imperfect circle with a black outline and blue fill somewhat outside the line. But text simply reads: "JUST MAKE IT EXIST"
A meme featuring a masked, seemingly religious or cultic figure holding up one white-gloved hand. Top text reads: "SILENCE, AI overview." Bottom text reads: "A real person who knows their shit on Reddit is talking."
The cover of We Are But Worms, subtitled "a one word RPG." The text is in a bold white serif font with black drip shadows. The background is a ton of sour gummy worms in a pile, viewed close up from above.
The thumbnail for HARDCASE. The background is black, and the title is displayed in yellow outlines, think sans serif, hard-corner font. A yellow star bursts above the second "A" in "HARDCASE," leaving behind it a trail. Fainter yellow, dotted lines orbit the bottom left corner. Below the title, thin yellow serif font text reads "solo roleplaying at the ass-end of a space elevator."
The cover of ARC, a TTRPG. It has a black background with an illustration of oranges, grey-blues, pale greens, yellow, and pearlescent colors. A glowing figure stands far away from the viewer on what might be water or else a path, beneath the silhouette of a huge, barren tree. Behind the tree, a large orange sun. Facing off against the figure is another, this time in the foreground and largely silhouetted in black with orange edge lights, emanating from the sword they brandish. Their head looks like a giant pearl or small, smooth moon or maybe a marble. The title is centered on the cover in a white serif font, which is echoed in a larger, darker font behind it, written in a descending diagonal.
A copy of microscope by Ben Robbins, lying on a wrinkled white sheet. A black cat's paw pokes into the image from the upper left corner. The book's cover is shiny black. The white title is in a sans serif font, and below it, smaller text reads: "a fractal role-playing game of epic histories, by Ben Robbins." Next to the title, a logo made of thin-lined circles within circles -- not concentric, but slightly off-center as they get smaller.
The covers of .DUNGEON//REMASTERED and .dungeon, on the left and right respectively. They sit on a wrinkled white sheet. The cover on the left is all black and white -- black background, white title, and a white arch with black stairs leading up to the unknown. The cover on the right features no title and is extremely vibrant. Three adventurers stand on lush green grass with blue water, a pink bridge, and a pink-orange gradient cloudy sky behind them. Each adventurer has a level and health bar over their head. The rightmost adventurer is crouched down to speak to a small figure (perhaps a child or a pixie), who points to the right. Two other small figures peak out from behind some large white and pink mushrooms nearby.
The cover of Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition Core Rulebook. The color scheme is largely reds, pinks, and cool purples. A face takes up most of the composti9n. The person wears red lipstick, black mascara, and purple-ish (maybe blue) eyeliner. They seem to be reclining, looking at the viewer, and they wear an ornate collar of golden butterfly-esque shapes. Blood splatters across most of the image, and a ring of black encircles most of the top left corner of the cover. The title is written in white text at the top, while "Core Rulebook" is written in smaller text at the bottom, below the World of Darkness logo.
The thumbnail image for melancholy Island. Black text with a white highlight behind it states the title, with "Island" in bold. The background is mostly white and brown-green. It looks like the leaves of a tree against a clear sky when viewed from below, craning your neck back.
The cover of a zine called Glatisant, which is written in ornate, swooping red type at the top of the cover. At the bottom, blue text reads "Lucas Zellers." Yellow, blue, and red illustrations take up boxes between the title and the byline: a standard blowing in the wind, a knight's helmet with a plume, a heraldic shield featuring a leafy branch and beastly footprints, another smaller helmet, another example of a beast's footprint, and a sword with a ribbon on its hill overtop of a pair of antlers.
The book Blades in the Dark sitting on a desktop with visible wood grain. The cover shows a hooded scoundrel wielding two daggers and smiling at the viewer. The art is in grayscale, mostly dark tones, save for an orange-ish glow illuminating part of the character's left side and their eyes. Text at the top shows the title, text at the bottom reads "John Harper."
A stray black and white tuxedo cat stands on grey asphalt near a curb, beyond which the ground is covered in dried leaves and bits of green grass. Towards the top of the image, a bit of chainlink fence and a makeshift, blue cat shelter are visible. The cat looks at the camera, tail curled a little bit around his back leg. His ears are perked up.
A grey and black cat eats wet cat food on grey concrete. A yellow leaf sits on the ground near him, and more autumn leaves and sticks are on the ground behind him.
A fluffy orange and white cat and a large possum share some cat food. The possum is on the left and the cat is on the right, standing on a curb. A pile of snow in the foreground, a bent metal tray on the asphalt in the background.
A tan, grey, and white tabby cat sits on a light grey book cart outside. The concrete ground is brown-ish, close to some of the shades in the tabby fur. Behind the cart, a silver chain link fence.
A fluffy orange and white cat sitting next to a makeshift cat shelter made out of a blue plastic box with holes cut in the sides, a brick on top for wind, and straw and insulation inside. The ground is covered in dry grass and roots. A curb and asphalt is visible in the foreground, while the trunk of a tree and a green chain link fence are in the background.
A fluffy orange and white cat loafs in a makeshift cat shelter, made from a blue plastic box with holes cut in it, a brick on top for wind, straw inside, and insulation. The ground is covered in dry grass and the roots of a large tree without leaves, the trunk and branches of which take up most of the image. Behind the tree, a green chain link fence with a black tarp draped over it. Behind that, a grey building. The sky is white.
A poorly-edited image of William Carlos Williams' poem "This is just to say." Text reads: "This is just to say / I have eaten / the turkey croissant / that was is / the fridge / and which/ you were probably / saving / for breakfast / Forgive me / it was delicious / so sweet / and so warm after I reheated it."
On the left: an organic, curving shape labeled as "bouba." On the right: a sharp, angular shape labeled as "kiki." Both shapes and labels are black.
Screenshot depicting a woman in a teal-blue dress riding a white horse, which wears white tassels around its neck, on a rocky and sandy beach. Headline beneath reads: "'Fourth Wing' hopes to redeem fantasy TV." Smaller text reads: "Amazon's 'Rings of Power' has divided some viewers, with some criticizing... See more."
Purple and pink-tinted map in the background. Text at the top reads: "The Team." Circular headshots of each team member with labels. Top row: "Chase Call, James Quigley, Chris Carson II." Middle row: "Duamn Figueroa Rassol, Kodi Gonzaga, Lex Burney." Bottom row: "Rook Feld."
A mockup of the book Fantasy in My Backyard. It has a collage aesthetic, including: a background of a purple map, a busy highway with cars leading into a castle structure, ruins with a verdigris-covered statue emerging from them, and a large pink-red circle behind text which reads "Fantasy in My Backyard."
A collage. Mostly earth tones, greens, and blues, with one instance of grayscale and some choral orange elements. The background is a mix of images, some torn and some cut out with scissors -- a painted, stylized ocean view, a purple sky, grass and wildflowers, and a detailed drawing of green weeds on a beige background. In the lower right corner, a drawing of a face peeks out sideways from behind the strip of purple. Towards the upper right, an upside down, grayscale image of a lit candle in a flower pot. A crow rises from near the bottom left of the image. Torn orange paper in the upper left corner evokes a mesa landscape with a cut orange circle (from the same material) as the sun shining between some rocks. Two additional orange circles, each smaller than the last, extend from that spot diagonally towards the center of the image.
A drawing with no curves of a skeleton-ish man in spikey black armor with teal and purple adornments. His face and hands are pink-red, and his wide eyes are teal. He has a smile and small pupils, giving a frenzied expression. He's crying black tears. He holds large swords in both his hands, both covered in blood, one held vertically with the point resting on the ground, and one held horizontally with a bloody crown wrapped around its blade. Both swords have teal eye-like pommels. Next to him on the ground are a small puddle of blood and a skull with an arrow sticking out of one eye socket. Three spikey black stars float near his face. A similarly spikey black speech bubble reads: "DEATH TO THE WIZARD KINGS."
A meme, featuring an image of Heath Ledger's Joker. He's wearing his iconic makeup, a green shirt and tie, and a purple suit. Behind him, shrapnel flies from buildings exploding. Top text reads: "All it takes to be me is..." Bottom text reads: "just a little push."
A digital collage in orange-ish reds and grayscale. A jackalope made from the body of a rabbit, the arms of a raccoon, and the antlers of a deer reaches up from the bottom of the image towards the top right. Behind the jackalope, a splash of gray water, which gives way to a white landscape punctuated by distant powerlines. Behind those, gray mountains. Behind those, a huge red-orange sun. Behind that, a cloudy, slightly red-tinted sky.
A Tumblr screenshot. Anonymous says: "you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up." User greenmossloveisreal1998iloveyou responds: "You wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid."
The banner for a solo TTRPG called Seething. The title is displayed in a rugged, beige font both above and below an illustration of a face. The lower title is flipped horizontally, mirroring the upper title. Both are over top a background of red, while the face has a deep purple background with beige lines emitting from the focal point. The face is rendered in purples with no lines, and the frame is zoomed all the way in to show only eyes, one ear, and some hair. The face is enraged.
The thumbnail for a game called "not signs... patterns." The title, in a light yellow sans serif font with "patterns" bolded, is located in the top right corner within a purple circle. Behind this, the background is shades of purple with a light yellow automatic drawing. The abstract drawing includes many arrow-like shapes, all pointing in the same general direction (towards the upper left corner). Looping, thin lines intertwine among these arrows, along with a single, small circle near the upper left.
A promotional graphic for Watcher's Abbey, a supplemental setting for Songbirds 3e. White text at the top in an all-caps serif font reads "WATCHER'S ABBEY." Vivid blue background. Five spindly white shapes rise from the bottom of the image, reaching up towards the text like fingers.
Primarily red, orange, and yellow image. In the background, many covers of creator-made works. For example, a witch for "Journey Home." A cityscape with an android for "The Warm Machine." And several others, some of which are obscured by the text. Text reads: "HUGE CREATOR DAY BUNDLE. ebooks, audiobooks, games, & more. 70+ items." (Discounted from $293 to) "$50."
A black cat on the back of a yellow chair. He grips the chair and looks evilly at the camera.
A blurry photo of a black cat lying on a carpet with wide yellow eyes.
A hero carrying a staff with cloth tied around it steps from one world to another as the wind blows. They have one hand on a slice of a fantasy world to the left of the image, which includes foliage, a tree with mushrooms and a butterfly, a lake, mountains, and a cloudy daytime sky. The middle slice is a sci fi world, including a cityscape in silhouette, two setting suns, and three space shuttles. The hero steps from this world to the slice on the right, a post-apocalyptic landscape. In this slice, a road leads from the foreground to the background, where dilapidated buildings are illuminated by three distant fires. Atop the tallest building is a ruined satellite dish.

An old science textbook-style illustration. A pink sun glows in the bottom left corner. The tiny earth orbits it, and the tinier moon orbits the earth. Beyond the earth, a pink, stylized version of the Webb space telescope also orbits the sun. In the reflective surface of the telescope, we can see a huge jeweled mantis. All these orbits are indicated by a curved series of small arrows, which gradient from blue to teal or blue to indigo as they curve. The background is another (elliptical) gradient of teal to blue to indigo.
The thumbnail image for the live action roleplaying game Local Glyph. A yellow, metallic surface covered in rust. A teal glyph (consisting of an eye shape with two lines through it, one of which curves around to the bottom of the shape) has been drawn on the surface. It, too, has been worn away by rust. Text on the left, written vertically from top to bottom, rusty brown test reads: "LOCAL." Text on the right, written vertically from top to bottom, bright teal text reads: "GLYPH."
Digital illustration. Album cover of "A Day is the Worst Segmentation of Time" by Summer on Venus. The silhouette of a newscaster with smoke for hair sits holding papers. The chyron below reads "summer on venus" and "a day is the worst segmentation of time" repeatedly. Behind the newscaster, a screen shows a jumble of a face with eye sockets in shadow, a stop sign with its text scratched out, and some tubes. The whole image has a scanline effect and chromatic aberration.
A beige, black, and white tabby cat perched on the lowest shelf of a set of three shelves on wheels. The cat is looking directly at the camera. On the top shelf, a copper cooking pot. Behind the shelves, a chain link fence. In the foreground, the grated back of a metal chair. The lighting is sunny.
A grey parking lot. A beige cat lounges in the middle of the pavement. Behind her, a black car is parked. Behind it, green and orange trees and a wall with green graffiti. Behind that, a cloud in the blue sky.

A screenshot of the game "9 Kings." The kingdom onscreen consists entirely of a Base, many Wallmakers, a seemingly empty plot of 500+ level Lab Rats, and a Library. Text over Base reads: "2.15E + 9." Text over Lab Rats reads: "2.15E + 9." Text on the right reads, from top to bottom: "Your Reign: King of Progress [Peasant]. Time played 5:12:17. Years survived 689. Units killed 269,609. Units trained 9,055. Gold collected 20,378. Spells used 755. Constructions built 62. Plots built 3,129. Plots destroyed 390. Level 8. CONTINUE."
A screenshot of two five-star ratings on itch.io. The first rating is from "myfunnytime" and includes no text. The second rating is from "pinpanar9" and reads "good"
An emoji wearing a snapback, biting its lip, and raised a hand to its chin. Text below reads: "ME WHEN HE MAINTAINS HIS WHIMSY."
Godzilla bursts up out of the ocean wearing a white t-shirt decorated with red text, which reads: "DO NOT GIVE ME A CIGARETTE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES NO MATTER WHAT I SAY"
A close-up photo of a tattooed arm resting on a wooden table. Visible tattooes are: the top part of a jackalope's head, a stylized sunrise/sunset, and the text "It's gonna be okay." There's also a book on the table, out of focus in the background.
