I'm blown away by what Jack's doing in the Daggerheart space. No one saw this coming. Top tier badass shit.

Want to see some layout/design fiddliness? Here's a before and after side-by-side. I decided that a table format was better for the threat listings and the miasma victim should be a bit more central on the page for visual balance.

A page spread from Requiem for the Wretched Dead, depicting the Miasma. The threats are presented as a bullet list.A page spread from Requiem for the Wretched Dead, depicting the Miasma. The threats are presented in a table format, with escalating dangers indicated by numbers. The art of the miasma victim has been adjusted to place them more central on the page.

Licensed properties are completely different, though. I once got a 6% royalty offer on a major license and that was unheard of.

It's old school photo-bashing methods. I like to use stuff from texturelabs.org. Ink in water is often a good smoke effect.
