More art from my Sector Samarkand space feudalism setting! On the pivotal planet of Shah-5, the city of Arg Arevand sits over a stable access point to hoards of old-tech salvage. Please ignore the flooded district, the noble house of Aronshad are Very Sorry about that.

Hopefully this is going to be used for a game using lightly modified Blades in the Dark!

Made a script for a feudal scifi setting I keep messing around with! Inspired by Avestan, but heavily messed with. Words are vertical, written L-R. Mainly intended to generate systematic scifi-looking decoration.

So, I’ve just about got through characters I’ve recently played (the ones with decent art, at least) so time for my real hobby: running games with endless amounts of moderately-relevant setting detail! Sector Samarkand is a setting I’ve used in a Stars Without Number game (and may yet see use in a Blades In The Dark hack). Feudal future, much like Dune or the Locked Tomb, but with an aesthetic loosely taken from Central Asian sources (as well as whatever else captures my interest at the time). High tech, but an essentially pre-industrial setting.

This is a diagram showing a well-equipped retainer of one of the Cornovi houses. Armour and shield adapted from the pointmen who boarded starships, this equipment is heavy but incredibly protective.

This setting does have guns. They’re just not as cool.
