My son Liam and I played the Secrets of Strixhaven prerelease two headed giant last night. He played silverquill and I played prismari. We were down pretty bad in the last game, then lucked into a land to play our board wipe and won. Super fun and we ended up getting 7th place.

Some gorgeous mushrooms I saw on a walk the other day. Such a beautiful time of year in #oregon #nature

A cluster of huge red mushrooms at various stages of their lives coming up through the ground. One big mushroom umbrellas over them all. The ground is covered in brown and yellow leaves around them.

The most epic procrastination of my lifetime: Working nights and weekends for three months and nearly 30,000 hand-closed rings later and I’ve got me some god damned chainmail. Now I can go back to editing the novel 😂
