I’m always looking to collaborate with other TTRPG creators. If you make maps, items, monsters, or music, let’s build something together.

Reach out if you have an idea!

D&D ambience - The Village of Barovia - Curse of Strahd
D&D ambience - The Village of Barovia - Curse of Strahd YouTube video by James RPG Art

Five years ago, I made a few ambience videos for CoS, this one for the village of Barovia.

I keep thinking about bringing them back, either on Youtube or as a tier reward on Patreon. Would you actually use more of these in your campaigns?

March scenes are all about travel locations for your next session: a merchant wagon on a lonely road, a crystal portal worth thinking twice about, heated desert travel, and railroad travel with moving stakes.

All coming to the Patreon this month!

Welcome to the Smugglers Cave. The air is thick with the smell of salt, smoke, and old secrets, and the sense that someone could return at any moment.

Totally unrelated to my animated scenes, but I restarted Skyrim and it has me in a chokehold again...

If you need me, I’m just doing one more side quest....

The Westlands Trailer
The Westlands Trailer YouTube video by James RPG Art

Throwback to a project I never released, but still love the trailer we made for it.

There's even a few scenes in that trailer that have never been released!

The best part about running a campaign is those few stolen hours where the real world stops being so loud.

You get to be brave, weird, maybe even heroic.

The torchlight flickers against the cold stone walls of this vast pillared hall, casting shadows over the petrified remains of warriors, rogues, and scholars who dared enter before you.

Quick question for players: How often do you actually use battle maps vs animated scenes?

If you use animated scenes, what’s missing that would make them more useful at the table? Overlays, variants, lighting controls, characters, something else?

I want to build more on Patreon!

Ship Bridge | Sci-Fi | James’ RPG Art Get more from James’ RPG Art on Patreon

Fantasy is home. However, even the best adventurers take an unexpected detour sometimes.

All March long, I'm releasing a sci-fi scene on top of my usual fantasy scene every week.

Check out my first sci fi scene, Ship Bridge.

The Plains of Avernus stretch beneath a burning red sky, where rivers of lava wind through cracked black stone. The ground trembles with distant eruptions, and the air shimmers with relentless heat.

How do you make a Patreon Member Discord feel alive?

I’m looking to revamp my Discord focused on building a community around my animated scene images. I want members to actually hang out, share prep, and spark story ideas.

What’s worked in yours or groups you're apart of?

At the center of the cave, a golden-leafed tree grows from a small island. The cave is quiet and heavy with meaning, the kind of place that makes you lower your voice without thinking.

The best sessions are 60% player choices, 40% consequences.

What’s one moment your table made a decision that completely derailed the β€œplan" but made the story better?

Share the chaos, I want specifics!

A lonely hut stands on the rock, its windows glowing faintly, but it is the iron cauldron at the end of the walkway that draws your eyes, its surface churning without flame or hand to stir it.

I rarely post this, because I don't consider myself an influencer (I just make stuff).

That said, I have a starter pack here on BSky of creators whose content I actually use in my home games. It's nothing more and nothing less. I use these people's products. go.bsky.app/VJbfVKV
