Homunculus Assembly Line

Homunculus Assembly Line is an experimental RPG art zine. Six artists collaborated to create six unique illustrations, each of which served as the inspiration for written roleplaying game content. Originally kickstarted and printed at home, this zine is now available digitally.

Featuring art by Sandy Jacobs-Tolle, Alex Mayo, Evlyn Moreau, Thomas Novosel, Juan Ochoa, Beau Sheldon, and John W. Sheldon, and writing by John and Beau Sheldon, the Homunculus Assembly Line includes game materials for Dungeon World, Starfinder, Fate, and an original micro-RPG.

Each illustrator created a set of short text prompts which another used to develop a few thumbnails, which inspired a final illustration from a final illustrator. The final illustrations then became the inspirations for RPG materials, including fiction, items, and supplemental rules.
