Apparently their Patreon has been retired, but they’re now hosting the pattern here on their blog!

OTHERLY SPECIES SHEET
Otherlies are, in short, ghosts stuck in limbo. Are they robots, ghosts, or magical, futuristic alphabetical energies? I guess they are all of the above. They were all once human, mostly.
There once were 26 Otherlies, each one named after each letter of the alphabet. Now just five exist, and of those five exists R.
Otherlies have powers that don't have too many effects outside of their limbo. To leave their limbo, a great sacrifice is needed. To avoid Moon Malaise spoilers, nothing more will be said.

HEY ARTISTS!
Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:
OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–
There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

Alternative explanations for why your fantasy setting has powerful magic items just lying around where any random schmuck can pick them up:
Up until a couple hundred years ago, the world’s magical background radiation level was much lower than it is today. Most magic items were once minor lucky charms and simple household conveniences; being designed to function in what’s now considered a low-magic environment, their effects have not only increased considerably in power, but have also become warped in unexpected and frequently ironic ways.
It’s impossible to create a magic item on purpose. Random objects just become magical, and nobody really knows why. Living things are never affected, and the phenomenon seems to favour manufactured objects over natural ones, though it’s unknown whether this is a real trend, or a reflection of the fact that people rarely “use” natural objects in ways that are likely to trigger any powers they might possess.
Magic items are the larval form of monsters. They spend the first part of their life cycle sessile, feeding off of the heroic destinies of the adventurers who carry them. When those adventurers eventually TPK, it triggers the next stage of the items’ development; shortly thereafter, the items “hatch” into a new colony of monsters and spawn the next generation of magic items, continuing the cycle.
There exists a possible future where the forces of Order and Chaos fuck up so badly that the world is torn apart and smeared across its own past. The wreckage of that future are/have been/will be raining down over the entire span of history leading up to it. Being indestructible, magic items comprise the bulk of the debris, but sometimes creatures, buildings or chunks of terrain make it through, which is where dungeons come from.
The world’s supply of magic items is actually very limited, but is constantly being manipulated by the gods to place them in the paths of people who will make best use of them – where “best use” is defined roughly as “hey, you know what would be hilarious?”. The random magic item tables the GM rolls on aren’t a game-mechanical conceit, but a completely literal modelling of the gods’ decision-making process.
There are no such thing as magic items. Sometimes ordinary objects just do things when adventurers pick them up. Almost no-one knows this.
The adventures live twenty years after the The Wanderings of Brian the Compulsive Enchanter, who couldn’t walk past an outhouse without trying to make the bog roll hurl a couple fireballs or emit psychic damage, much less a smithy.
