Welcome to the ninth blog post counting down to the release of the Disturbance Timeline RPG: 2nd Edition rule set. These posts will continue up to the release of the 2nd Edition on June 1st of 2024 to mark the 10th anniversary of the 1st edition.

This post takes a look at the artwork for DTR2E.

The 2nd edition contains a large amount of work in stark contrast to the 1st edition, which only had cover art, a world map, and a few black and white diagrams. The 2nd edition also has a full color interior and all diagrams have been redone to take advantage of that.

The Flooded New York artwork is by Doan Trang and was modeled on an old picture I'd done myself that was used for the DTR: Scavenger Edition in 2018. She has worked on several projects for me, including Death Derby: Nature's Rage and some book covers. The Overgrown City was originally commissioned from her for the cover to The Disturbance Fiction Collection (volume 1), but is little seen and so is included in the RPG's artwork section.

Most of the artwork in the book is by Jon Wells. He also did art for the Death Derby Core Deck, Death Derby: High Octane, Death Derby promo cards, Ott & Ren covers, and some other stuff. The cannibal family picture was going to be the 2nd edition cover, but I wanted something with higher contrast. He did the world map, cannibal family, and all the black and white artwork in the RPG.

The next post will take a look at the Recipe changes in DTR2E.
