Uz Visual Inspiration

You'll notice a severe lack of Mesopotamian looking stuff, but that's more because I couldn't find any I like.

  1. That's all really great stuff, including several things I'd never seen before!

  2. Yes, that is a bunch of great stuff! Now who's that E.R.B. guy?

    My post validation code was, Axeryopo. That would be a great name for a very influential n.p.c.

  3. Where's #43 from (dino-sapiens w/pointy sticks)? It looks really familiar...

    1. I google searched "reptoids."

    2. It's an old hypothetical humanoid dinosaur descendant, now firmly enmeshed in Ickean/Cobra-La Reptoid lore, despite being thirty years out of date, paleontology-wise. Fortean Times had a pretty good article pointing out that a sentient Troodon would probably look more like a large, angry chicken.

    3. True, but -- and I'm sure someone will come along and disagree with me -- the humanoid version is just cooler.

  4. This appears to be my subconscious projected onto the gaming table. ERB + REH + Frazetta + 1950s science fiction?

    Who are you, and how did you get into my brain?

    1. I'm Evan. I cannot reveal the dark pacts I entered into to gain such information.

    2. Nice to meet you Evan. Check out the project I just started -- The Green City, which is built off a lot of the same building blocks as Uz is. I imagine some sort of unholy portal exists somewhere in the depths of the Green City that deposits incautious PCs in the Desert of Demons.

  5. So I gotta join the chorus - this looks a lot like my take on Carcosa.

    I'm beginning to think I have to define my settings by what they exclude, not what you might find in them.
