Some of the awesome human creators who have lent their talents to Calenmir's RPGs releases!
Image description: The cover of Noctopolis: An Apocalypse Keys Mystery, which is laid out like a newspaper front page. The art features seven superheroes posing for a group shot on a city street: a guy in a red mask and body-length black cloak; a gray-skinned gargoyle in bright clothing; a Black woman in purple powered armor giving the red mask buy bunny ears; a white woman in Greek hoplite armor but her shield and weapons are glowing; a St. Bernard dog; a thickset white man wearing street clothes, a black N95, and face-recognition-evading facepaint; and a person with bright pink skin and hair who is wearing a blue jay onesie. The caption reads: "Left to right: Chiropter, Water Weaver, Hex Wrench, Light Skirmisher, Anymorph, Captain Facepuncher, Blue Jay". The article begins: "Noctopolis, NERZ. After robots swarmed the business district, six Project Paragon heroes and one vigilante arrived on scene". To the right of the snippet is the Calenmir's RPGs logo.

Image description: The cover of Unburied. Below the title, the art features a porcelain doll with a purple dress, red hair, blank white eyes, a cracked face, missing nose, partially missing teeth, and bloodstained hands. In the background, power lines stand above what appear to be toxic waste barrels and also the ruins of a city. In the background, two shambling silhouettes are outlined against a red-orange sky. The text at the bottoms reads: "You can die. The undead can't. Product of Calenmir's RPGs".
