The adventures of Jack

My order of the 10th Anniversary Edition of Cats of Catthulhu arrived this morning. No idea when I am actually going to get to play it, but it looks fun:
But the main reason for making this post is to share a nice little detail about the book with you all. Because on page 51 of the main book, we can find this guy:
Yup, that's my cat Jack, ready for adventure in the world of Catthulhu. So, not only do he find his way into my livestreams and meetings, but he is now in an actual published RPG book.
(If anyone likes puzzle games, his image can also be found in the computer game "Cats Love Boxes" released on Steam last year.)
(Note that I am not affiliated with neither the mentioned RPG nor video game, and unfortunately Jack does not earn any royalties either for his appearances.)
All we need now is a cat-themed mapping style so I can make maps for this game.
Comments
I can't even begin to imagine what a cat-themed mapping style would look like, but I am super intrigued by the idea.
Cities constructed entirely of cat trees beneath a giant glass dome to keep off the rain and make it nice and hot for lounging?
Recreation fields filled with mice or butterflies?
Or maybe they are pandimensional beings like the mice of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and have worlds and galaxies in other dimensions - whatever they look like.
As eccentric as this book is, I remember there is an RPG that my friends played in Brazil and talked to me about. Uncaging Nicolas - Players take on different versions of Nicolas Cage, representing characters from his filmography. The goal is to rescue a "main" version of Cage that is trapped somewhere in the cinematic multiverse and return him to his original film.
That is awesome. Did you do the artwork, and with what program?
See if you can ever do a one shot game. I'd give it a try.
No, I can't do art even if the life of everyone on Earth depended on it. It's done by one of the artists for the book, but I don't know who, the artists aren't credited per image.
