Background appears as if you’re peering through a gate looking out at a garden and vintage car, overlaid with translucent purple haze. 6 large bubbles floating with the center cut out to reveal the cast faces. Above the images are the words:

Moonlight on Roseville Beach: The House in the Woods
a one shot adventure to benefit Extra Life a program of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Near each face, from left to right, are the following bluesky tags:

Due to some very sudden layoffs, my allotted editing time just opened up quite a bit! I’ll have time to take on a few more projects that usual, especially towards November.
If you’ve got a project that needs refining, or some lines that need a voice, let’s chat! ✨

Zipper is a bit messed up in comparison to how I wanted it to be, but this is my first time making a bag and sewing a zipper, so it's okay 🥰

Behold, the writing team of Twelve Realms!

I'm so lucky! I tried to count the accolades/awards they collectively have and I lost track. I'll try another time.

Help us to get to 1K followers so we can make this game and these folks can get to writing!
