It bears repeating that much of this is from FFG's Only War RPG, which has really good art direction in general and deserves praise for how it's generally good about gender and diversity among its catholic space nazi stormtroopers.

Think the second is just tallarn, the first looks like it may well be a byzant janizar.

It's a good image, but I can help from being nitpicky over their body armor. Completely leaves their abdomen open. Like, 'Oh hai! Lungs and heart are protected, have a crippling gut wound!' kind of open.

It works because everything IG fights is larger than they are, so they only have to worry about projectiles coming down at an angle.

I no longer believe in the greater purpose.

If you can use the Force to shove an attacking Jedi around at will, why do you even need to bring a lightsaber? Just Force-push their lightsaber into their head and ask why they're hitting themselves. This science fiction art does not have enough verisimilitude for me, no sir.

Perhaps the issue is that it's like the Jedi Mind Trick, and only works when the target is weak-willed or distracted?

I dunno. :shrug:

EU nerd stuff explains it as some sort of innate resistance, at least on a force user's part. And telekinetics as far as was seen in the movies (and shows?) always seemed a little clunky and imprecise without time to concentrate.

This is explained in one of the Star Wars Zombie Outbreak novels! It takes place at a Sith training academy and explains that all the fancy leaping and twirling poo poo you see during a lightsaber duel is pure muscle memory, and the actual battle consists of beating the everloving piss out of your opponent using force pushes and poo poo. It was the one bit of actually interesting lore from that entire lovely novel.

It's available for preorder!

And apparently the developer put his phone number on his site.

That seems like a really bad idea.

Sounds like the sort of thing that is directly contradictory to any of a dozen other equally inter-contradictory sources. All of which are of 'dubious' cannon status.

I'm interested in lines, networks, or sigils of magical force superimposed over the real world.

Like this, but what it's superimposed over would be more mundane than a magical warrior.


Or, in general, hidden realities beneath or above our own.

I didn't have much luck finding anything other than images of characters, but here's what I have to provide.




If they look magic-y enough for you, you might want to look at long exposure photographs like the one of the building above, which I found on the website of photographer Jakob Wagner. There might be a few images you can use from the artwork for a card game called Serpent's Tongue, if you don't mind the style. And there could be some optical illusion graffiti that fits your needs, depending of what kind of hidden realities you're aiming for.

While I'm at it, I will post the art of Jakub Rozalski, who has a similar feel

























He's currently doing all the art on a board game called Scythe set in an alternate history 1920's Europa. It's the 'mech stuff that he's probably most well known for. I didnt post a ton of that stuff either, but here's a taste.

The slightest touch from a Gol-Shogeg will result in Instant Death!
Scythe looks dope as hell and it's by the guys behind Viticulture and Between Two Cities, so you can pretty much guarantee the KS will be well-run, and the game sounds pretty good.

I'll probably be backing it.
