'sup /tg/ (dunno if it's the correct greeting line nowadays)
I was here ten years ago and I collected pretty awesome art directory, but I need your help.
I am making a pulpy weird victorian age RPG in FAE and I need some arts to inspire me and to help my players.
First adventure is supposed to be in India (before fall of Mughal Empire) or in Malaysia in the same time, later we will move to Hong Kong.
It's not steampunk, it supernatural weirdness, maybe some horror, maybe some adventuring in hidden temples, forgotten civilizations and such.
Any help would be appriated, I will be dumping some of my old stuff from my "character folders"
I'm kinda seeing the Victorian age of these pics, but they don't seem that victorian, maybe its just me.
>>53394322
But anyways, I might as well help
>>53394311
>Shooting the priest
Why though?
>>53394322
They are not... I have folders and folders of random fantasy stuff. And sci-fi. And shadowrun and exalted and world of darkness, call of cthullhu.
But I don't have almost anything that is Victorian or Far East exotica with touch of adventure without some elves or animish things in them.
or rather I have something - but it's steampunky and I don't want a steampunk...
>>53394384
>>53394397
Alright, gotcha
>>53394394
Dunno, tell me a story behind this image, to be honest I was just donwloading whole threads in the past and I don't even have this sorted. I am posting something from my "gunslingers???" folder.
Anything you want in particular, I have lot of stuff, several gigs of images from /tg/ from a 2007-2010.
>>53394406
>>53394485
Can you believe they used to actually wear this goofy shit?
>>53394514
>>53394530
Being sold as 'body shields'
>>53394514
And OP remember that most equipment will be heavy if it is going to be useful, this shit was 91 pounds!
>>53394605
More modern, but you can make it work for victorian times
>>53394605
Yup, this gear basically gives 2 Aspects: "Bulletproof" and "Heavy as fuck"
Thanks for this, already saved
>>53394627
I dont know if this image is a joke or not, but you can make it work also.
>>53394669
I don't know what FAE is, but a good way to simulate heavy armor is to do what numenera does; when you first don it your might and speed both go down, if you take a break to get used to it your might comes back up, but your speed is always reduced
>>53394676
And remember other countries besides England exist, here's something from that period from italy(?)
>>53394778
Apparently this was a real weapon
>>53394803
Another view
>>53394823
Hard to see, but this is a victorian self defense weapon, a knife hidden in a big frilly hat
>>53394736
FATE Accelerated Edition - basically only Aspects matter, nothing else. Everything is Aspects. Gear is Aspects, Surrounding is Aspects and so on.
Whole system revolves around using FATE Points, their economy, spending them and getting them.
>>53394843
Golden stonemason dagger
>>53394884
This was also a real weapon
>>53394884
This is great! Saving and using for sure.
>>53394900
>>53394907
So how helpful has this thread been so far OP?
>>53394924
On to locations
>>53394976
>>53394924
Weapons are saved, photos and ads I will use as a color for the start of the adventure.
I'd love some locations, some Far East exotica viewing through colonial powers eyes. Something from Cambodia, maybe Mughal Empire stuff. Can be supernatural (no elves pls, I have too many elves everywhere).
>>53395018
Take inspiration from political cartoons, maybe even have the players come across them
>>53395050
>>53395075
>>53395032
Yeah, I'm adding some of this stuff to my numenera game
>>53395126
This is dutch, but you can tweak it
>>53395187
Same for this (french)
>>53395213

>>53395241
On to africa
>>53395282
OP, If you are going to explore the colonial aspect of the time period, don't shy away from the times it was beneficial to the local populous,even if you have to mix it in with 'belgian congo' levels of evil.
>>53395346
This image was likely PR, but services like this existed, at some level, through out colonial Africa.

>>53396436
>>53394394
He was a corrupt and/or heretical priest
>>53394426
Could go for the obvious "he was a diddler" angle, or maybe he was a priest that adhered to the teachings of the religion, and the new corrupted holy council wanted him Out of the picture.
