I had the chance to be a GM for the Fallen London ttrpg launch-party-event and now I am mildly obsessed with the Londoners, that were the pre-generated PCs :)
So now it's time for my Fallen London art dump!
starting with: "of course the tiny rat with a crusty scalpel should do the intimidation"
aand my take on all 5 PCs to choose from during the event :)
as well as a bonus art-piece of me making the decision to never dismiss my finsihed tutorial-storylet of dubiously shrewd rat in the browser game, just because I don't want the rat to leave anymore
so yeah - big thank you to @failbettergames for providing me with 15 years of the most delicious lore and worldbuilding to now catch up on :D

"Thhunlight?" demanded my Amber Salonnière the moment I was conscious enough to form sentences. "Thherriouthhly?"
My senses had only returned begrudgingly, one by one, and I'd had a sense of time passing but not how much. They rarely attempted to speak, which hinted at what my condition must have been; the mound of heavy bandages over my head and right eye was another clue. I had been bandaged quite enthusiastically all over really, which was sweet.
I shrugged, immediately regretted it, and said hoarsely, "Dove off before I hit it." I glanced to the window. "Judging by the dreary view, everything appears to have worked out."
They made a rude squelching noise by way of reply. I smiled. There was zzoup and tea on the table, both steaming. Nothing else was on fire or screaming more than usual at the moment. I could worry about the details later.

Just a quick one tonight inspired by a very old photograph, but expect more rubberies in fancy dresses. Also an eyepatch for the Apostate? maybe??
