Jewel Throne Artwork Preview


Here is a portion of the Robot-Fighter Character Class illustration by the estimable Jason Alexander Scanlon. Holy crap, this cat can draw! How come I don't see his stuff on products?

The Robot-Fighter class seems a worthy candidate for porting into Humanspace Empire, as well as Dune (Butlerian Jihad era) or Saberhagen Berserker mileus.

  1. Cool. Look forward to seeing what makes a good robot fighter. There are about four billion wild robots on Tau Ceti 3 that need to be Magnus-ized.

  3. Gee, thanks for the plugs! I hope I can live up to the hype, there's no shortage of contributions from cats I personally admire and I'd hate not to do this thing justice. Sincerest thanks to Blair and everybody else for the support. Love you guys!
