Snow Orchid
Some artwork © Dean Spencer, used with permission. All rights reserved.

Creatures that travel across snow and ice leave signs of their passage, and here are ten different things that might be spotted.

  1. Bricks formed from shaped snow and ice.
  2. Discarded and torn glove.
  3. Parallel marks from runners are slowly being filled in.
  4. Patches of snow have been melted and then refrozen.
  5. Prints in the snow that are slowly vanishing as more snow fills them in.
  6. Rocks, now partially covered in snow and ice, have been arranged in a circle.
  7. Several pieces of rubbish are just under the snow and crunch if stepped on.
  8. Small hollow in the snow where something has been rested.
  9. Snow has been pushed aside into heaps.
  10. Spatters of now-frozen blood sit in small pockets where the snow was briefly melted.

Yin Yang Panda: Six New Tattoos

Yin Yang PandaThe Tattooed Monks splatbook for Yin Yang Panda introduces mystical tattoos and comes with six tattoos that can grant the owner additional abilities. Here are six new tattoos that can be used to add more abilities.

  • Ability – this tattoo allows the owner to enhance one physical ability. When this tattoo is activated with a standard test, the owner may re-roll a failed test once per day that could be considered to have used the physical ability in question. Every time the character gets an ability tattoo, they need to choose what ability it effects (strength, speed, agility etc.).
  • Ancestor – this tattoo allows the owner to speak with one of their ancestors. The character may make a standard test once per day to ask the ancestor a question on a subject that the ancestor has knowledge on. Each time the character gets an ancestor tattoo, they need to come up with some details on the ancestor they can speak to with it.
  • Charming – this tattoo allows the owner to more easily convince others to believe them and do what the owner wants them to do. When used, make a standard test to see if the NPC being spoken to reacts more favourably to the tattoo’s owner as a result.
  • Dreamwalking – this tattoo allows the owner to enter into the dreams of other beings. The being must be asleep at the time and known to the owner, even if they are not friendly. A standard test is needed to enter another creature’s dreams, and once there they can gain a single piece of information about that creature that they didn’t already know.
  • Insight – this tattoo enables the owner to gain insight about something. By making a standard test, they can get a flash of insight on something that will grant them an extra die to use on any tests related to it once per day. Every time the character gets an insight tattoo, they need to choose what they get insight on (combat, fields of knowledge, dealing with people etc.).
  • Vision – this tattoo allows the owner to see something they would otherwise not be able to (i.e., spirits, invisible beings, in the dark as if it were daylight etc.). Every time the character gets a vision tattoo, they have to decide what it allows them to see.

Based on Ying Yang Panda, Łukasz Kołodziej 2022, published by Skavenloft. Yin Yang Panda is based on Lasers & Feelings, John Harper 2013.
