« Les Sept Secrets du Sorcier » are a very small rpg dungeon build for one player only with one (secret) goal: transmit the map of the location of the 7 presents hidden for my daughter’s seventh birthday.
So she was invited to a game on that morning, she discovered this map and the different rooms, had to through dices to advance, ask the right questions about the objects around, and try to locate those sorcerer’s secrets.
When she eventually gathered the 7 numbered boxes, she gained access to the sorcerer’s lair, where she started to identify the very same room we were playing, my office, and unravel the mysteries of this dungeon.
She realized, although not medieval that every room she had visited corresponded a room in our home… and I told her the exact places where she shall seek her birthday gifts (she had been slowly looking for all those the days before, without success).
Her joy when running from room to room, a map in the hand was priceless :)
The letter you receives guides you to the entrance of the castle.
Main entrance, where the adventure starts.
The kitchen, boiling things.
The main dining room, which is not as huge as it looks like here. And not as medieval. She also noticed we don’t have this huge chandelier… just a very basic hanging bulb :)
The sorcerer’s lair with oracles, books, divination and music. Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease.
And a few timelapses for people who like that. Recorded in Fresco and quick edited in Premiere Rush, directly on the iPad.
I’m also live-streaming the inking part of the illustrations, click and watch :)
For the title part, since I was mainly working on the iPad I was able to include fonts via the Creative Cloud app, so I could pick Laura Worthington's nice Charcuterie collection directly licensed from Adobe Fonts !
