- The Daimon Name Generator and Daimon Sigil Generator – From pal of the show Erik Arneson!
An IMO valuable show note to add would be one on Dave Gray’s “Visual Alphabet” that Andrew mentioned at around the 20 minute mark iirc, when discussing drawing your own images of the Decans. This was new to me, and I’m currently not great at drawing, so I will be making some attempts at incorporating this method.
Great episode (as always), by the way!
