Fairy Tale Retelling

Ever heard of the TTRPG called Babes In The Wood by Adam Vass? It’s based off Over the Garden Wall and I’m starting it as my first table top campaign.

I’ve so excited to start and introduce my players to stories inspired by macabre fairy tales I heard as a child.

Also I just love spooky stuff in general as well as twists on moral tales.

I might share some of my unique Hallows as they call your different towns/locations in this game after the campaign. One of my players follows me on here so no spoilers for you 😆

I’ve gone so in-depth with this I’ve been making whole playlists and even drawings of some vital NPCs. Creating a world for others to explore really is just awesome in general. I feel like I’m getting a great chance to express myself.

Also as a first time DM, would appreciate any tips

A skeletal hand lies in a trail of blood, reaching towards a kneeling young woman in a red cape trimmed with gray wolf fur and buttoned with a canine tooth. It conceals her shoulders, but where her hands should be are gray, wolf paws resting on her long gray skirt. She wears a black shirt and brown belt. Her head is bowed beneath her hood and her black , jagged hair covers her eyes. Blood drips from an impassive mouth. A pink crescent moon hangs above her in a dark blue sky filled with stars. She kneels in a gap between two rows of pines. The ground is snowy. In the upper left and lower right, there's a capital A that looks like it's made of scratch marks. In the upper right and lower left, there's a pink geometric heart with four bloody claw slashes though it. This is an ace card, and overlaid over the image is a pattern mesh of white diamonds to make it look cheaply printed.

Another red riding hood card, this time the ace. Featuring murder, a cornerstone of any good fairy tale. My, what big hands she has.

A queen playing card divided in half by a diagonal black line. that ends just a little above the bottom left corner and just a little to the left of the top right corner. The bottom fourth of the page is a field of snow, and above it is a dark blue sky with scattered white stars. The middle third of the canvas is covered with geometric pine trees textured with darker green lines. Near the right edge on the midline on the painting is a pink crescent moon. The bottom right is dominated by the front half of running gray wolf with a diamond red eye, sharp white teeth, and a lolling red tongue. The top left is dominated by a running woman with short black hair that frames her face and covers her eyes. Her mouth is a straight line. Her back arm and leg are hidden. Her gray skirt hikes above her raised knee. She wears black leggings, a red-brown belt and a black, long sleeved shirt. Her front elbow is bent and her arm is raised. The bicep bears a white triangular pauldron with a red brown strap. Her hand is bared despite the cold. A red hood covers her ears and the cape billows out behind her. It is trimmed with gray wolf fur and bound with a white tooth secured with black strap. In the upper left and bottom right corner, there is a capital Q shaped like a diamond and made of scratches. In the upper right and lower left there is a geometric heart with four red scratch marks through it.

Another day, another red riding hood concept. This time in playing card form. Love the queen card.

Really like little red riding hood, lady knights, and fairytale retellings. Expect many more red-riding hood images, it’s a years-long obsession not leaving anytime soon.

Image Id: An anthropomorphic gray wolf with a sheep skin cape and red eyes kneels before a young adult in leather armor. The wolf kisses her hand. Her conflicted face is framed by her short brunette hair. On her upper left arm’s armor is a metal engraving of a slashed through paw. Her left hand holds a knife. She wears a white skirt, brown leggings, and brown boots. A red cape billows out behind her. The figures stand in a snowy meadow in front of many aspens.
