Fates Demand Worldbuilding Part 2
A recurring contest only carries weight if there is something beyond it worth protecting, changing or returning to. The realms need to feel inhabited, and the characters entering the Spire need lives that extend beyond their abilities on the tabletop.
Developing the first stonefang Paint Brush
Stonefang’s first hobby brush started with a simple goal: create an affordable synthetic alternative to the sable brushes commonly used for miniature painting. After testing around 20 brushes from manufacturers across Europe, Vietnam and Japan, I settled on a versatile Size 1 brush designed to work as both an everyday workhorse and a fine-detail brush. The first production run of 500 brushes launches in October 2026.
Resonance Seer Design Update
