Repost to avoid tag A Feast for a Sphinx has finally arrived, a Mörk Borg compatible adventure with art by @evlynmoreau.bsky.social, writing by @hojesofia.bsky.social, and graphic design by @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social and I must say it’s a veritable feast for the eyes! Bravo! #mörkborg #ttrpgs

Friday feels.

Received a package of TTRPG goodies from @ratti.bsky.social! I was dumbfounded upon being informed I was both their 1st and 4000th customer! The haul is Mörk Borg adjacent, with a few containing art by @evlynmoreau.bsky.social, who’s rapidly become a favourite of mine. #ttrpgs #cy_borg #mörkbog

Monday feels.

A local specimen of an agaricus mushroom given the chocolate-brown gills which are free from the stalk. Since the base of the stalk bruises yellow and has a strong phenol-like odour, I’m fairly confident this is likely a poisonous Flat-Top Agaricus. 🍄‍🟫 #amateurmycologist #mycology

My ‘Production Worker’ outfit won the employee costume contest! 🛠️ 📋 Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃

Ernest Scared Stupid the night before Hallowe'en? Heck yeah! 🎃

We should exchange valentines for Halloween. Specifically these Universal Monsters ones 🖤

It has a breath weapon that burns the top of your mouth.

Practiced a bit of amateur mycology in identifying this local mushroom: After taking a spore print and consulting local handbooks I’m fairly confident it’s a cortinarius cinnamomeus aka a Cinnamon Cortinarius. Apparently they can be used to produce a brown dye. 🍄‍🟫

The missus and I are about to coze up on the couch with some popcorn and watch this autumnal classic. 🍂 🎃 #overthegardenwall

Met up with some old friends and had good time at Quazar’s Arcade. Got 2nd place on Wreck-It Ralph and 9th on Tetris. 👾

🎶 IT’S TIME 🎶 🎃💀🎃

It’s time my dudes

Flash of brilliance: A crane game, but for crab / lobster tank. 🏗️ 🦀 🦞

Using crosswords for dungeon generation is so damn clever I wish I came up with it.

Our #grandforksadventure has concluded. We made it back home safe and sound. Huzzah! During this trip, aside from acquiring photos and memories, I was also keeping a notebook of TTRPG inspirations, including a rough hexmap with encounters based around our adventures around the Grand Forks region.

Today we are heading back westward home, whilst we stopped off in Greenwood to break our fast and charge up, and discovered an old rusty beehive burner! So cool! #grandforksadventure

After perusing Greenwood yesterday we went up and checked out the remains of Phoenix Mine. #grandforkadventure

Some shots yesterday when we played tourist up at Greenwood. #grandforksadventure

Later yesterday we went a paddlin’ on Christina Lake 🚣‍♂️ So calm and peaceful! #grandforksadventure

Early yesterday we went hiking around the Cascade Falls/Trestle along with southern leg of the Kettle River. #grandforksadventure

Yesterday was taken pretty easy, touring Grand Forks here and there, the largest being a hike out to the Granby Dam site. #grandforksadventure

Anarchist Mountain Lookout above Osoyoos🤘 #grandforksadventure

A stop off at Bromley Rock Provincial Park for a short splash and pan in the Similkameen River.

Princeton Luncheon! Halfway mark! #grandforksadventure

Through the lower mainland and recharging at a pit stop just south of Hope. Onward into the misty mountains! ⛰️ #grandforksadventure

Me and the wifey with some friends have begun our journey eastwards to the mystical land of Grand Forks! Step One: Sailing across the Salish Sea 🌊⛴️ #grandforksadventure

Here are the top two stories I was presented with when I looked up CBC News a few minutes ago. 😬 And I was just thinking how we really don’t want to AI to hallucinate at all when it comes to answers for medical research. “Side-effects may include extraneous digits and teeth, and mismatched eyes.”

My vacation begins with the latest Castle Rat album, ‘Bestiary’ 🤘

I feel like I was the last to learn Crush (the carbonated soda brand) made a Birch Beer. Alas, my expectations were not met. Too sweet. Not birchy enough.

Though the morning was rather damp, today ended up another fun day at the Medieval Faire. As one can see my #ootd was both less ostentatious and less warm than yesterday’s. Back to present day tomorrow.

Whilst at the Medieval Faire, my rubber arm was twisted terribly and I was urged to strut my Landsknecht stuff at the fashion show, not that I really needed any insistence, though it took a bit to get my companion to join me. Cheers to him! 🕺🏻

Today we attended the Medieval Fall Faire, hosted by the SCA at the Coombs Fairground, where I donned garb of my larger-than-life 16th century landsknecht and posed for many a photo op. Alas I was unable to bring up the one thing more impressive than his codpiece: his huge two-handed Zweihänder! ⚔️

Exercising my free will to give myself anxiety.

Yesterday a friend and I shared a laugh when we both realized we’ve been monitoring the very same fungus (as it’s on the way to our shared bus stop). Pretty sure it’s a type of Laetiporus aka chicken of the woods, sulphur shelf, etc. Now hast begun our amateur mycologist club: Fungi Watch 📸 🍄‍🟫

Labour Day hike around Spectacle Lake. Saw these beauties: Being a neophyte mycologist I couldn’t hope identify them. They appear to be Oysters but would be out of season. Might’ve been poisonous Angel Wings. Also had a wonderful nap on a bed of moss. Get out not to #touchgrass but to #touchmoss

A Labour Daybor Classic

I showed the fck up for Toxie and was not disappointed. 🤘☢️ #ImWithToxie #TheToxicAvenger #TheHeroWeNeedNow

this is why I pay for photoshop

Today’s colour-coordinated catches: Appendix N by @pbebergal.bsky.social An anthology of weird tales drawing on the original inspirational reading for D&D The Electrum Archive Issues 1 & 2 by @emielboven.itch.io and @avaislam.bsky.social Exceptional Science-fantasy zines with maps! #dnd #ttrpgs

Some friends came down to visit from North island and we got all dressed up and attended the local Victoria Renaissance Faire! Resplendent!

Introduce yourself with your top 5 #TTRPG picks. No particular order: 👋 I’m Riley. I really really like TTRPGs • Blades in the Dark • Dungeon Crawl Classics • Ironsworn: Starforged • Knave Second Edition • Mörk Borg Honourable Mention: Dread

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our darling dearest cat Freya, who’s been my own kitty companion for over 20 years. You will be missed but never forgotten. 🧡 🐈‍⬛

I’ve been off work for several hours but now I can say I’m officially on vacation now. Beer 🍺, Popcorn 🍿, and the new Heretic + Hexen remaster🤘

Happy International Cat Day everyone!
