issue-388-example-characters-placeholder-prose: Generated provisional example-character section glue for issue 388 while pointing readers back to the creator and reference pages.

Model
gpt-5-codex
Prompt
Draft an Example Characters guide for EldritchDark that explains how examples should use stable archetypes and route links. Do not create full stat blocks, final sample sheets, or brittle mechanics.
Example characters should show how the pieces fit without pretending to be the only valid sheets. They can sketch archetypes, explain reading order, and point back to the creator.

issue-407-example-characters-section-opener: Accepted provisional production-quality section opener art for Example Characters while preserving future human replacement history.

gpt-image-2
Prompt
Create one production-quality provisional section-opener illustration for the EldritchDark manual section "Example Characters": a 1920s backstage dressing room after a police interview, mirror bulbs, raincoats, hats, camera flash smoke, case folders, harsh lamplight, and rain-dark city glass. Several example investigators and rogues gather before a night case: bruiser, grifter, medium, reporter, and drifter archetypes. They read as human pulp characters first; second viewing reveals subtle wrong shadows, odd eyes, scaled wrist texture, or too-sharp profiles. Use Weird Age pulp noir, cheap-paper color, ink black, sickly yellow lamplight, muted teal shadows, and one restrained red folder accent. No lineup chart, readable numbers, readable text, labels, logos, watermarks, signatures, tentacles, or monster silhouette.

Reading Example Characters
Example characters help you see why a choice matters before you make it. Start with a trouble, choose the job that sounds like the trouble you carry, then use the creator and reference pages to make the sheet table-ready.
