Shades of Chicago – A Let’s Play with The Fourth Leg

Back in 2022, I met and befriended some great folks in the TTRPG sphere on Twitter (back before I left the platform), and we made a podcast called The Fourth Leg. We started the podcast to “give GMs a leg to stand on!” It was intended as a resource for new game masters, and then we grew to have let’s plays of various RPGs.

One of them was Urban Shadows, an RPG that allowed players to play as vampires, ghosts, monster hunters, and other creatures in an urban fantasy setting. In this setting, we played a campaign called Shades of Chicago.

The cast included:

  • Joe Dunn as DM
  • Sabrina Rau as Lulu the Spectre
  • Hunter Anderson as Jain the Dragon
  • Joe Fraioli as Jesse the Tainted
  • and me as Archie the Vamp

LIVESTREAM: Character Art Stream

Join me in this archived live stream as I draw character art for a new project. In this art stream, I’m drawing for The Character Compendium.

The Character Compendium is a new personal project of mine. It will compile as many character designs as I can fit into one book. With this book, I aim to simplify life for game masters and dungeon masters. Just open the book to any page, take a character, and BOOM! Instant NPC for the players to interact with.

Heck, any of these characters could also be a good jumping-off point for players to make their own characters.

This is a similar concept if you’re familiar with some of my previous Inktober sketchbooks, like Gods & Spirits or Witches. (Both books are available through my Ko-Fi shop, by the way.)

As this project grows, I want to add more content specific to role-playing games for each character. Specifically, I want to add basic stat blocks. All in due time, though!

I hope you enjoy this live stream. Thank you for watching and reading!

You. Are. Awesome.
