The ruff collar had its heyday from 1560 CE to 1630 CE. Fashionable with all but the lowest social classes, the size and complexity of the ruff usually reflected the wearer’s wealth and social standing. In #ThePlanarPages Elizabethan fashion still leads the way in Restless Rise, home of humans.

Although not the first to invent them (shoutout to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia), the Romans perfected aqueducts, expanding their use across their Republic and Empire from 312 BCE to 226 CE. In #ThePlanarPages a similar Empire exists in Kerus, home of beastfolk: smilodon, elephas, and ursidon.

If Fiona Thorne, my fantastical world-hopping adventurer, had a morning routine and social media existed (I'm sure my clever Fae will create that magic one day), this is what her (very reluctant) GRWM would look like.

When I decided to run a Paranormal d&d game I did not expect my players to bite. Nor vote for shifting it to Regency era! I should've known they'd be into the drama and mischief-with-manners of it all. Changing the system only made it easier to do. Hope I don't kill all the characters *too* soon.

I absolutely am here to slay. And by slay I mean write non-stop till I rest tomorrow and rise again like the gorgeous phoenix I am. But like, books don't write themselves sooooooo.

It’s almost October and the choosing of "the costume"! If you’re not feeling sufficiently spooky or want something a little different, you could cosplay as a fantasy or sci-fi character. Need inspo? Check out my blog post with ideas, costume lists https://go.dhalerambo.com/sff-halloween
