I forgot the image for my QkSLVa post today, again.

These were all commissioned in early 2025, after I bumped into Jonny Gray at Con-Tingency and I thought his style would fit the setting.

#SanctionRPG #RPGaDay2026 #QkSLVa
Black-and-white comic-style illustration of a futuristic armed operative kneeling on rocky ground, wearing tactical armour and carrying a large rifle, with smoke grenades and stakes attached to their gear. The figure has braided hair and a focused expression. Bold red “QkSLVa” title lettering appears across the lower left, with the artist’s signature in the lower right.

Last part of the QkSLVa Genre Setup in this month's #Labour of love for the Sanction RPG as part of #RPGaDay2026

Six missions to kick off your experience of a ravaged world facing monstrous challenges and eco-horror.

QkSLVa works best when victory has an aftertaste. Without belabouring the point—because we’re not here to preach—there’s something to be appreciated that the monsters here are suffering…

Sanction, the game of challenge-driven stories and heroes raised from the rabble. Released early 2024, the game's home page now features links to eight ready-to-play Genre Setups and four adventures. And there's more coming—Ship of Fools, Safety Lies in Fear, and QkSLVa all WIP.

And as I'm brushing my teeth, I ponder whether this might be the opportunity to detail my long gestating Genre Setup of QkSLVa. The prompts to come show a lot of promise, with Hunger, Regret, Edge...

Close-up monochrome cover image showing the right half of a woman’s face, partly obscured by long dark hair. Her vivid blue eye is the only strong colour, staring intensely towards the viewer, something deforming the surface. White text across the lower half reads “QkSLVa”, followed by “a SANCTION Genre Setup.”

I'm just going to leave this here (or thereabouts) to remind myself that there are simply insufficient hours in the day, week, month, and year—or, possibly, the decade.

And I realise that this is not everything.

The third part of the final Genre Setup, which snatched Edge from the final prompts as a Resource, but we'll ignore that, right? There's no Devotion to formality around here.

QkSLVa Lifepaths today, with adventure ideas tomorrow. Then introspection. #RPGaDay2026

Damn it. How did I forget the illustration for today's #RPGaDay2026 entry for #Devotion?

Marvellous werewolf versus Field Asset action from Jonny Gray.

Added now, but posted here if you have visited the post already!

#QkSLVa #SanctionRPG
Black-and-white ink illustration of a heavily armed soldier in tactical gear crouching with a rifle as a towering werewolf lunges from behind, claws raised to strike. Blood-like ink splatters punctuate the stark white background, with the red-and-white QkSLVa logo across the lower left.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

A hunted vampire from the Sanction genre setup QkSLVa. On the roadmap for writing completion.

#SanctionRPG www.sanctionrpg.com
A gaunt, hairless humanoid creature with an enlarged skull, sunken eyes, elongated fingers, and sharp claws presses itself against the corner of a weathered brick wall, as though stalking or hiding. The high-contrast ink style uses heavy shadows and cross-hatching to create a stark, unsettling atmosphere.

With #RPGaDay2026 at a close, #SanctionRPG has expanded. I'm trying to bring some thoughts and comments together to post updates and attention-grabbers on Sanction's Kickstarter, DriveThruRPG, Facebook and elsewhere.

All the careful book-keeping that goes into Sanction Ability selection across the Lifepaths and Genre Setups.

You do care, don't you? Don't you?

#SanctionRPG
Screenshot of a spreadsheet listing Abilities and their Alternate names, alongside how those Abilities are used across several Sanction RPG Genre Setups: QkSLVa, Dead Letter Office, By Appointment, Dying on the Pass, The Last Clemency, The Feed, and The Ovation. Ability titled rows shown run alphabetically from Accounting through Craft (Tailor), with genre-specific Lifepath titles such as Public Scapegoat, Mail-order Catalogue, Misadventure, General Manager, Necessary Addiction, Family Feud, and Fight Master.

With #RPGaDay2026 coming to a close, I have made the last update—for the moment—to the #SanctionRPG homepage, so you can easily access the Genre Setups, whether complete or Ashcan.

Enjoy.

The world is no longer what it was, and yet ordinary lives and needs persist. While you hunt for otherworldly monsters, people still work 9 to 5, get take-out, and walk the dog. Some of them might not get home if you don't do your bit.

I have chosen to follow my gut instinct from last night, without #Regret, and opted to develop the existing Sanction Genre Setup of #QkSLVa because it fits the upcoming prompts and I already drafted some of this material in July 2024!
