Love seeing the influx of new folks here! As for introductions, we're a two-people indie TTRPG studio: Anna and Jakub. You might already know us from our series of natural-world inspired Herbalist's Primer and Geologist's Primer, and a collection of illustrated quest idea decks, Wayfarer's Decks!

In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

You hear the mournful howl of a lone wolf, crying towards the full moon’s uncaring face. Soon, you stumble onto a starved-looking timber wolf, its hind leg trapped betwixt the iron jaws of a bear trap. The animal faces your approach with bared fangs, snarling.

Larpocracy, the EU project I'm involved with, is throwing a larp festival in Krakow next year. Here is the first flyer. (Also, it will be bilingual, Polish and English.) The tagline translates to: play someone - be yourself!

A farmhouse is half-buried under snow. The fireplace is dark, yet you can still feel the warmth. The table is set for dinner; a pot of fresh broth cools amid plates. And yet, nobody is home. Eventually, you find prints of bare feet leading to the dark forest.

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month.
All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

One of these days, I'll need to reach out to terrifyingly successful people and organizations to start setting up some publicity for The Bird Book.
I love folklore. I love birds. I love writing and drawing.
But talking to people...? 😱
If you know non-scary sci-com bird people, let me know 😅

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:
"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."
No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

This is a fun book. I picked it up when collecting early research for our book on magical mushrooms, but it turned out we're talking about slightly different things ✨🪄
Nature book challenge. A book per day in no particular order, until you've shared ALL of the best nature books in your personal library. No explanations, no reviews.
