Is there another feeling which matches that moment when you’re GMing an RPG for a new group, and a player you don’t know gives you that look which says “I got you, m8” and takes actions which unequivocally support the forward motion of the session to help you out? No. No there is not.

Don't want to photograph your models in front of your paint bottles? But don't want to create mini scenes and compelling adventure narratives with our scenic backdrops. That's ok. I GUESS Our Pro Series Book has a series of classic clean gradients for a very different look.

Woah when you click between the first two, they could be cut and pasted. They were taken on a locked off camera tripod and then cropped identically. Looks wild though, eh?

A simple visual guide.
