I used to study extinct life and work in museums. Now I bring #nature to the #tabletop at Druid GM Designs Classes | Writing | Miniatures | Art druidgmdesigns.com
Been fun watching this Imperial Moth that lives on one of our redbuds grow. And it's not done yet! #caterpillar
Wakin' up to this cutie and his. little mittens watching birds outside
Porch sittin' mappin' shallow ocean currents. Tali and Desna are behaving, so they get supervised outside time with me. Tali's taking advantage of a high spot to sniff things brought in earlier on the storm winds. Desna just wants to nap in a comfy chair.
Used the kitbashed mini @smartgoblin.bsky.social made for me several years ago as the creature with Too Many Legs
Building up inventory for Who's Yer Con in a month. 5.5 hours into caves and lava flows today. Probably double that again before these two sets are done.
Trying to edit writing. Grimmy had other ideas. He dropped his favorite piece if trash on my keyboard and proceeded to fish for it iver my screen.
#GenCon haul. Except the cat. I did not buy Grimmy there; he was just very interested in all the new smells.
I wanna workout and start processing the curly dock seeds I foraged yesterday, but this little thing has my arm
Less than two weeks 'til #GenCon (eep)! If you're looking for events to add, I have space left in everything except Forests and Taily-po. Expect the basing classes to only take about 2 hours (the last hour is breathing room for you and cleanup time for me). www.gencon.com/event-catalo...
Desna's sock song (volume up). Though she prefers her wool ball now. I hadn't seen it or heard her in a week, so I gave her a sock when I went to bed. She found her ball and sang with it after lights out, then dropped it next to the sock. 🥹
Thermohaline circulation! Easy because I can partially wing it (it'll be partially contingent on the planet's history of continental configuration, which is not set). Hard because I'm making things up off the cuff in a setting is all about scientific accuracy and precision.
Next up: atmospheric circulation! On the left is the cross section through Damso's atmosphere. I'm going for names that do not reference Earth humans like Hadley (and are more applicable as standardized names applicable across the ten worlds), but they're often collectively called Hadley Cells here.
Major latitudinal lines first. They aren't arbitrary! It comes from Damso's axial tilt. Which will have effects on climate, biome, life habits, etc, due to how much energy is making it to the surface, at what angle, and how it's parsed out over the planet's year.
Today is planetary mapmaking day. I'm using the approach from my World Maps class (previously Continents) to build one that makes scientific sense for an @adastragames.com project in their Ten Worlds setting for Attack Vector. Let's go over the drafts of some of the first layers!
Not going through my craft room yet, but this is what was stored in the basement and garage. Can't bring myself to get rid of all the books yet, but this is otherwise what was left after three moves across state lines and moving out of an office for the last time. I feel a bit sick now.
Come to Paint & Take at #OriginsGameFair! #miniatureHobby #miniaturePainting
It's the first day of #OriginsGameFair! Today I'm giving a seminar on GMing and writing animals. Come learn about ecology, animal behavior, zoology, and animal-human interactions through history! I'll be in A224 at 5 pm.
I normally don't give any thought to #Father'sDay for Reasons™️, but I'd be remiss not to shill for my latest one-shot this year. It's 20% through 6/22 with this link! Run it for the father figures in your life, or those who'd rather help a fictional one. 😉 site.pathfinderinfinite.com/product/5684...
Only one week now 'til #OriginsGameFair! Come learn how to make habitat-themed bases with me! #nature #miniatureHobby

Virginia Bluebells for the trans stripes, Pawpaw for PoC, and Yellow Downy Violet for intersex. #Pride
Jack-in-the-pulpit for green, Eastern Bluestar for blue, Dwarf Larkspur for purple. #Pride
Fire Pink for the red stripe, Bear Corn for the orange, and Celandine Wood Poppy for yellow. #Pride
Apparently I never posted the finished diorama here?! #HappyPrideMonth!
Good day aside from the lack of sleep the night before. Finished one project, made good progress on another, and went to a library craft night.
Less than a month 'til #OriginsGameFair, and still lots of seats in my basing classes! I'd greatly appreciate any and all signing up or word-spreading to help me not *lose* money teaching classes this year. #miniatureBasing
Desna "helping" me draw about as well as the foil in the adventure helps Eando. 🙃
Did I just spend a whole evening making a fancy background for Don't Wake Pathfinder Daddy? Yes I did. #Pathfinder2e #BridgingTheGap #PathfinderInfinite
The #GenCon event catalog is open! They haven't finished scheduling all the early submissions, though, and only some of mine are released right now. Here's all of my submissions! The ones in the second group may have their time/day changed depending on how the schedulers finagle things, but 🤞not.
