Brian Kolm
Visual artist/cartoonist and instructor interested in TTRPG and digital graphic adventure games.
Brian is experimenting with ways to use RPG game mechanics with drawing and art, for making art or playing a games or both.
This is where drawing prompts can be posted as well as game experiments and hacks.
I also post under #sketchbooksolorpg on instagram.
Interested in... Storytelling (vs. simulation), strong design and layout, solo/duo play ( i.e. 1,2 players), assessable to a wide audience, video chat/internet friendly, clear rules, quick start, visual over written when possible, creativity / storytelling, low 'footprint' i.e. does not take much space to play, uses easy to find tools (d6, playing cards).
