A quick bit on sky-rat aeroplanes

A quick bit on sky-rat aeroplanes
My wife and I are working on our own personal setting, part of which involves kobold riding dragons and gnome sky-rat aeroplanes.
Because of my fondness of PC2 and the gnome aeroplanes I’ve been keeping my eye out for books on early aircraft. And found this the 16th.

Since I noticed that the Mk VI Polecat is super similar looking to the Fokker Dr.I, I’ve been wondering if there were other strong similarities between other planes for purposes of filling in the non-combat specs of those planes. PC2 lacks important information such as the dimensions and weight of the planes.

Clockwise from the upper left: Pflanger-Skyratchet, Smurfri-Lodestar, Topcat, Polecat

As Classics of the Air isn’t an exhaustive resource on early military aircraft it wouldn’t be fair to assume all the craft in PC2 will find a twin in it. However, have found close twins and for my purposes they will probably suffice.
Either or both of the two-seaters, Pflanger-Skyratchet or Topcat, could be based on the Brequet 19 or the Albatross C.III.

The Smurfri-Lodestar bears a resemblance to the de Havilland Dragons and Dragon Rapides.

The Nautilium: Well-Dressed Skull-Munching Opium-Smoking Sophonts From the Stars

So I was making fun of Product Identity monsters on twitter the other day, and I noticed that the Mini Monster Jam on itchio is still going. So I've brainstorming some monsters kind of like them.

Introducing the nautilium. They come from space. Dress very well. Eat mammalian organs. And smoke opium.

It's PWYW until the jam ends. If I remember.

I'm also selling these entries singularly on Drivetru. After I have enough make it worth doing print I'll bundle the pdfs up etc.
