Four Swords: The old ball and chain from Four Swords.

 The old ball and chain from Four Swords.

Chains and Manacles: These drawings were inspired by the Chain Chomp item from Four Swords we covered last week.

The most lucrative bounties are those that ask for the target to be returned alive. Those are also the hardest to bring in. For the bounty hunter on the go, chains and manacles are sometimes the only things keeping a future paycheck from becoming a death warrant.

I often find myself inspired to draw some additional items based on the drawings I make to represent these items. That chained ball flail screamed an old fashioned ball and chain used to keep prisoners hobbled. From there it was a short jump to make a pair of manacles. That is the story of how one item from Four Swords turned into five item cards.

If you appreciate all the variations I give items, please consider dropping a tip over on my Ko-Fi. You can get there by hitting the purple donate button on the top or bottom of the page.

I recently heard that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that no people receive booster shoots for the COVID 19 vaccinate until a greater percentage of the poorer world had the chance to receive their first doses. This was such an important reminder that the opportunity to get a vaccine, let alone choose to avoid getting an available life saving vaccine, is such a privilege that members of the wealthiest countries are taking for granted. Everyone who is currently eligible to receive a COVID vaccine should immediately go get one to ensure that we are all doing everything we can to stop the spread of this continuing pandemic. We should also all be asking our representatives to more equitably share vaccine resources, especially intellectual property, so that all people have a real chance at being safeguarded from this disease.

If you have chosen to not receive a COVID vaccine and are able, please go get vaccinated.

Be excellent to everyone.
