Madness Calls It Forth - Designs for TPK Roleplay

Madness Calls It Forth is a monthly Noir-Style Tabletop Roleplaying campaign streamed by TPK Roleplay. Based on "Nights of Payne Town" by Son of Oak Studio, the series is dark, dangerous, and filled with riddles and overarching mysteries. I wanted to create a Cork Board covered in red string as an homage to those kinds of murder mystery/conspiracy theory stories. With character art by @MeltheHoneyBee evoking that brilliant Film Noir feel, I changed the overlay and promotional materials every episode to hint at the upcoming adventure. 

As streamed TTRPGs can be particularly grueling to watch, I tried my best to make every episode as immersive for the audience as possible. QR codes, Business Cards with actual working telephone numbers, the Missing Person's posters with a link to the "Tip Line", even the website drinktheelixirof.life which lead to clues revealed throughout the broadcast to different levels of lore.

Iron GM - A Game Master Game Show - TPK Roleplay

Iron GM is an "Iron Chef" style game show pitting two Game Masters head-to-head to create a brand new one-shot using a secret ingredient in only an hour. Using red highlights from the TPK Logo, I wanted to make the Iron GM logo feel like a battle that incorporated both the Adventure Fantasy and the GM's frantic note taking. The Pen and Sword logo helped solidify the choice to go with Gold throughout the design. Because of the style of the show, I've broken the overlay into segments, one for each contestant to show off their work plus a Judges Only slide. There's several breaks throughout the program, then at the end, each contestant shows off their work for everybody. 

0ILUS: A Session 0 Show

0ILUS - pronouncing the zero as "naught" - is an exploration of Session Zero games and a deep dive into collaborative storytelling in various forms. The name intentionally resembles the Nautilus, Captain Nemo's submarine from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.​ Every episode delves into a new game or system that could be used as a Session Zero to a larger adventure, such as City Builders, World Builders, or mythmaking games. 

The designs below use the submarine as motif for the rest of the design ideas. Each episode is marked as "Meters" (100m, 200m, etc.) and the show schedule dives deeper into the sea. I plan to have the YouTube thumbnails descend in color-scale in the same way that the schedule does.

Since joining the staff of TPK Roleplay, I have created many Twitch Overlays, Website and SEO Graphics, and Twitter/Instagram promotional images. I currently use a mix of Canva, Spark, and GIMP to make the majority of my designs with additional resources from Unsplash and Pixabay.
