So, for the next #DnD campaign, we are thinking of making the species and class random (pulled out of a hat, with one veto). So, I am looking at species and classes that available for us. So, follow me down my brain's rabbit hole. First here is this from 2023. www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1648-2...

Big news: I’m writing a book!!

I’ll be writing & illustrating a beginner’s guide to appreciating wildlife in cities/suburbs, & how all of us can make our neighborhoods better for those animals.

Thank you to my book agent @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social & the folks at Storey for believing in this book!
