The second pack has joined the first to make one big den (and a smaller den for the more mature dealers) come see them all at PDFC!

As we approach the con, we spotted a cryptid known as "Dealers". These "Dealers" are often found lurking in dens and can be found in packs. Each one has a special skill they enjoy showing off and if you're kind, they will even let you purchase their wears.

The squonk is a cryptid that spends most of its time crying and will dissolve into a pool of its own tears when cornered. It says that day passes are now available online and it would be a good stocking stuffer for anyone who just wants to visit for the day. https://painteddesertfc.org/register/
