Aaah! I Got Tricked - Tumblr Posts

Tabletop trick or treat! 🎃👻🍬🍭

Last one was a Treat so it's time for a Trick! Caro Asercion stole my heart with i'm sorry did you say street magic, and as a result every time they release something new I'm eyeballing it. Their work is varied but at the same time I feel like there's a thread of personality running through their entire ludography.

I think what sells me on a lot of their work is that they know how to package it so that you get a quick taste of what's inside the game just by reading the blurb or looking at the art on the cover.

Exquisite Biome uses an art style reminiscent of naturalist paintings to communicate the world you're building through its creatures.

The Long Shift uses its colors and iconography to communicate the mood; late nights at a truck stop (in space).

And Dwindle makes use of a mainframe icon to represent the feeling of a cyberpunk world while doubling as the grid by which you determine your stats.

All in all, I think Caro makes really smart, evocative design choices, and I often think of their work when I envision what I would like to do with mine.
