A fun thing about being part of a culturally-connected spiritual tradition is that you'll spend years studying it and treating your practice with care and reverence, wondering the whole time if you are "enough"...and then some white pagans will zoom up and be like "Neato! This is mine now!"

I know it's Christmas Eve, but an Ontario animal sanctuary (pet pigs, horses, etc) just had their water tank system fail. It's going to cost over $3000 to fix it, and it's an emergency situation (the animals have to have water). Please donate/share if you can:

I wrote a D&D module! A short thing, with plenty of bookish vibes, and even more bookish puzzles. Set in an archive about to be swallowed in to a void of magic by a powerful spellbook accidentally donated to the archive.

The unraveling of pages
This tale is the first of several introductory adventures into the series Tales of Landhurst. The first installment will focus on the nation's magical guild, as well as the librarians' guild, other scholars and knowledge seekers. Magic, scholarship and quick thinking will be crucial in this puzzle heavy dungeon crawler adventure. In this adventure, the players will need to solve puzzles, learn arcane secrets as well as find the truth of a corrupted archive, all while doing their best not to get eaten by sentient book monsters!
