My submission for the Appx. N Jam went live on itch today. You can check it out there with all of the other cool entries.
The 4-page maximum page count (including cover) was brutal. I may do an expanded version and put it on drivethrurpg later.

I previously mentioned the Appx. N Jam and the submission I had planned. Well, the month is nearing its end, and I'm not done (though I'm getting close!) and I do have a cover to show off finally, so that even if I don't make the jam, the adventure will probably come out.
Here's the final piece as an aged paperback featuring an illustration by the inestimable Jason Sholtis:
I got "Prophet of the Wyvern's Word," for which I think I'll take inspiration primarily from one of my favorite's: Leigh Brackett, as well of a lot of general pulp fiction ambience. It will be a challenge getting everything done in the time less than 25 days remaining, but since it has to be 4 pages of less, I figured it was worth a shot.
Above is my work on a banner. I based it on the hand drawn title text of the Ace Double of People of the Talisman from 1964.
Time for some plugs for rpg projects by friends of mine I think you ought to check out.
Luka Rejec's Our Golden Age: An Ultraviolet Grasslands rpg has taken off big time, so you are probably already aware of this one, but just in case, you should follow the link and cast you eyes upon its goodness!
Chris Vermeren has been toiling away for a while now on a cool cyberpunk rpg, Terminal State. I've been privileged to see the teases he's been dropping on Discord, and think if it's a genre you dig you won't want to miss this one when it launches. Be there in the beginning for the street cred! You can download the Quickstart free, too.
Jason Sholtis tells me that the work on the remaining Operational Unfathomable Kickstarter items is drawing to close, which is good news to a lot of people. Jason requested I send him all of the cover designs I had brainstormed for the various products. I had not looked at any of these in 4 or 5 years, but once I dug them up and thought they were worth sharing, though none of them may get used on the actually products.
This was my first design for the Completely Unfathomable omnibus. I mainly just wanted to give it an omnibus sort of feel.
This is for the same book, but thinking a bit more out of the box. It's meant to look like an old bubblegum card wax pack wrapper.
This is the is the second design I did for Odious Uplands. It's meant the reference the sort of WPA national park posters.
This was my proposal for the DCC version of Completely Unfathomable. It references the Skywald Publishing horror magazine style (even with a riff on it's "horror mood" tagline). It's my least favorite of these.
Jason Sholtis is working a comic set in the world Operation Unfathomable called Ootherion: Ape Myrmidon. He asked me to come up for a logo for the comic. I did several iterations, not because Jason is demanding but because I wasn't satisfied. Here are the last two I did:
