the thing about this card is that in New Capenna, devils are just, like... a type of person. they're a racial category. like usually "diabolist" is used when devils are like otherworldly summoned beings but in New Capenna specifically theyre just Dudes. like imagine if there was a word for "guy who summons and commands Italians" like theres someone walking around calling himself a Sicilianist

A necromancer finds a variety of uses for the remains of the dead, even those they can't raise to their command.

Classes: Cleric, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

Just me putting myself favourite official Xander art into one post, for reference, carry on.

HOWEVER, before you go, I need to point out that the cards show him in two main modes: regal elegant old tired crime boss OR running around (or rather like, dying or lying around dead) barefoot, shirtless, in suit pants and a bathrobe - and I really appreciate that, very good combo of modes, chef kiss.

Ok, carry on now.

I've been thinking for a while about using the wilds of Capenna, everything outside of the main city, as a fantasy RPG setting. We know it's the ruins of a medieval fantasy setting, populated by humanoids, Phyrexians, and mythical monsters. There's more to the plane than the city.

With that, here's my setting pitch.

Capenna. A name equated throughout the Multiverse with glittering glass and chrome spires, the heat of rivalry and the blood of angels—but not to you. Your home is not the shining facsimile built by demons upon a husk of the divine. You inhabit the wastes beyond New Capenna's Halo-misted streets, where humanity had once built a sprawling world, where your ancestors were forsaken when the invaders arrived. What the demons' chosen don't know is that Old Capenna lives on. Villages, towns, and adventurer's guilds eke out the same existence they always have, amongst the ichor-blackened ruins of their old enemies. Your compatriots are holy knights who never took the name of Broker, mages who never became Obscura. Alongside you roam the people of oil and metal—some fanatics of a dead god, others seeking repentance, all reeling from the history alive in their veins. Planeswalkers whisper of New Capenna, its temptations and glories and excesses. But this wild land beyond of explorers, of survivors, of adventurers? This is Old Capenna, the true Capenna, and it is your world.

Do you reckon all those New Capenna folks who were roasting Elspeth for having an old-fashioned name just thought she was trans and trying too hard?

Commanders of New Capenna

Another weekend, another brand-new release from me. This time it’s back to the schedule as normal, with the results of last month’s Monster Popularity Contest (a monthly patreon poll where supporters vote to see their favorite monsters, NPCs, and other enemies come to life.) These five friendly mugs are the face commanders from the commander decks released alongside Streets of New Cappena. Each one serves a different family, and plays a different role in the glamorous politics of this 30′s-themed fantasy setting.

If you’d like early access to more content like this, the ability to vote in polls like the one mentioned above, and other patron-exclusive releases like monthly subclasses and more, you can sign up to support me for as little as $2/month!
