I took a little break from the Meager Country to write a one page setting, a science-fantasy wasteland ravaged by a war that can't be remembered. Old weapons and old mysteries abound, check it out!

    That's a fascinating combination of artwork. I never would have thought of them going together, but they all seem to work as one with your descriptions.

    This is easily the coolest setting I've seen in three years.
