Mandrake is in Telltale’s Choices Matter Festival this week, so we’re taking the opportunity to talk about some of the foundational choices for your character in Mandrake. If you’d like to see a little of the following in video form, you’ll be able to catch our segment at 22:30 BST on the 10th of August - today! - and later on our YouTube.

Unusually for our games, in Mandrake a number of things are already determined about your character. You’re always a Mandrake, the last descendant of the aristocratic family that once ruled the region. You’re always a gardener-sorcerer, resuming arts long-forgotten and long-forbidden. And you’re always a newcomer to Penhallion and the village of Chandley, having been born and raised in a far-off land.

But that still leaves plenty of room to decide things about your character: name, appearance, history. We don’t want character creation in Mandrake to be complex or time-consuming – after all, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to define your character with your choices throughout the game. But we do want to give you the chance to make some basic decisions about their past, to provide an initial glimpse of the world beyond Chandley, and to provide more variety for future playthroughs.

(I’ve used some screenshots to illustrate the choices. Please bear in mind all these are in-progress; they contain placeholder icons, and are subject to change!)

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

If (when) you repost this on pinterest at least put a link to the original post somewhere..

[mommy-knowss]

thank you @saszor for the amazing work u do !

The tutorials u put out have really helped me realize just how MUCH ableism is typically embedded in learning to draw. I think this would have been so helpful for me when I was earlier in learning art and under all the pressure from outside sources/internally to make my drawings look “right” (which is just someone who isn’t visibly disabled or w/ visible differences).

There is such variety to people, and while intentionality is important and it’s a skill that’s worth exercising to draw what is in your head, it has the potential to be so liberating to know that there also is probably someone who looks like your drawing either way. What if instead of “correcting” things like proportions and other visible differences, educators could encourage learning artists to look into people who look like the art already?

12 years on and still the best articulation ever made of how one should respond to useless critiques

How exactly do the fangs and vexes work? I’m specifically curious about the vexes, cause like Eve could summon vexes to help in battle or as guards/spies, but she doesn’t. In that same vein:

-are vexes sentient and have their own personalities, or are they just extensions of the evokers (or a mix of both?)?

-can an evoker see through their vexes(probably not, since Eve could have left a vex with the raiding party while she was gone to keep an eye on things just in case)

-if a vex is hurt, would Eve feel that pain as well?

-Can fangs and vexes be summoned unintentionally, like Eve just sneezes and BOOM Pierre’s dead(now imagine the nether arc but Eve has a cold)

Also here’s an Eve for relevance because MOM SAID ITS MY TURN TO GUT PUNCH PEOPLE!!!

VEX/FANG LORE!

Vexes and Fangs are magical manifestations. They can only be summoned for a temporary amount of time. The more powerful and well-trained the evoker is, the longer-lasting and more versatile are their manifestations.

Vexes can be summoned in groups of threes, and have a strict timer. (In-game they only exist for 30 seconds, in the AU it's a bit longer and depends on how far away they get from their master, and also depends on the Evoker's skill)

Mix of both. Vexes start of as a bit of a blank slate, but then become projections of their Evoker, or sometimes particular traits of them. Some Evoker believe that if your vexes are too different from you, that means you're unfocused.

A little bit! Vexes can be used to spy on others. Mansions are under near-constant surveillance. But they're not exactly like cameras, Evokers get a warped glimpse and can hear faint noises through their vexes. (If Eve left a Vex with the party, it has long despawned by now)

If a Vex gets hurt or killed- then Evokers, skilled ones, only feel that it happened. Young/inexperienced Evokers feel a slight pain in their head and a weird sensation in their body, but they learn to deal with it.

Can fangs and vexes be summoned unintentionally - Sometimes!! It'd be very small manifestations. Really depends on the Evoker's self control. I can totally imagine an Evoker sneezing or physically raging really hard and summoning small fangs around them. If they're really frightened, they might accidentally summon a bunch in self defence. Vexes take focus to summon, but maybe if an Evoker is having a mental breakdown, somehow it can summon very poorly-made vexes to project their emotions- like they can't handle their feelings on their own. If they are sick though, they might be too weak to properly summon things...

Fangs are summoned from the earth/ground/physical matter. They are attributed to the host Action, who is associated with the earth, and fangs are tools of fast striking action.

Vexes are summoned more spiritually, and are attributed to knowledge. You have to be studious and have a well trained mind to summon them. They were made as an attempt to summon Allays artificially.

This is why Eve is so fond and rather proud of her vexes, she has a hard time focusing and clearing her mind sometimes.

Also LOVE THE DRAWING!! Poor little scared Eve... sometimes all you can hug is a manifestation of your mind...

alright everyone is being sassy but nobody has brought up the actual reason why scientists are interested in the titanic in the notes

Per wikipedia:

The Titanic was made of steel, presumably to resist corrosion (i mean. thats why boats are made of steel i assume) but even when iron/steel rusts people did not expect to find like. decomposition. bacteria are EATING the titanic.

and there's wood furniture from the titanic that isn't decaying. hell, there are wood ships at the bottom of the ocean that archaeologists study. so the expectation people have for the titanic is not that the steel would decompose at the bottom of the ocean. Even in 100 years, since there are much more ancient preserved wooden ships iirc.

(im not particularly knowledgeable about ships, i just had heard about the science going on around the titanic so i wanted to clarify that on this post for people)

[shoresoftheshadowlands]

[sailor-arashi]

The Titanic is an exceptionally weird whalefall basically.

[claraschaos]

Not a marine biologist but biologist enough to weigh in on this. The reason we have iron eating bacteria but not wood eating bacteria at the bottom of the ocean is simple. Hydrothermal vents release a cocktail of different mineral ores into the ocean. And bacteria and other organisms evolved alongside those so they evolved to digest these, like iron or other metal ores

Wood however does not exist at the bottom of the ocean since it basically never sinks down, even when logs are flushed out into the ocean they basically never end up at the ocean floor. So there's no bacteria that evolved to decompose lignin, which is already complex enough to decompose on the surface. And that's why wooden ships or the furniture on the Titanic stay intact for hundreds of years or longer.

[lobo-cansado-de-ojos-rojos]

Okay, but I remember reading a magazine stating that the titanic would basically be gone by now because of the rust eating the ship.

The sister ship HMHS Britannic is still perfectly preserved because of the way it sank, and partly in due to the coral that has grown around it keeping the structure in tact I believe was the reason.

[theminingdwarf]

Coral acting like a living fossil specifically for sunken ships is the coolest thing I've ever heard

[kyraneko]

So lemme get this straight, the Titanic is a whalefall, the Britannic is a biological mummy, and all the wood ships that sink into the deep ocean are preserved incorrupt because nothing can eat them.

Zombie, mummy, lich, respectively.
