City of Espers is a TTRPG about found families of fashionable psychics, going on adventures in a megacity. It's X-Men meets Splatoon. Or perhaps Persona meets The Warriors.
In its initial form it was partially a miniature wargame, because I wanted a game with minis that could be fashionable, and not just armoured soldiers. Though it's now a full TTRPG, the miniature painting soul still remains - and to celebrate the game being picked up by a publisher, I'm holding an art jam for painting, kitbashing or drawing your own Esper OCs!
Use the prompts (roll or just pick what speaks to you) to create your Esper, and if you share it with #CityOfEspersRPG, we'll show it off in our launch livestream at the start of September!
Text version of the prompts below the cut.
To share my own mini that I kitbashed and painted for this, meet Vernon Fox, House Father of the House of Stiletto!
The House wears black and yellow with a film nor aesthetic, and has a shared love of dancing. Vernon's signature gear is a cyberdeck, and has the Mind Knife psychic ability.
The House of Stiletto practice Ballroom (Waltz) just as much as Ballroom (Vogue). The Esper Battles they pose are exclusively dance competitions, though that doesn't mean they won't throw hands during one!
The psychic bond they've formed with the dance hall they use as a home base warps the light, so everything inside appears to be monochrome. However, as the House's popularity has grown, so has their Turf... and that colour-sapping effect has started to crawl beyond the bounds of the building...
