The brewery behind my work just had a bit of a leak. I don’t think that motorcycle can legally drive now… #drinkinganddriving #beer #brewing

The Yuletide collective #hexmas map is finally complete! I’m chuffed to bits at the prospect of hex crawling all over this come next holiday season, that is if I can wait that long! For those interested my own entry is hex #0102 - Miserable Mountain 🏔️ #blogwagon #hexcrawl #ttrpg

Pizza and B-Films tonight

The ideal hexcrawl map

Back on my 5E bullshit again. We’re resuming our The Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign. #5E #DnD

Our followup folk horror feature was the Yugoslavian film Leptirica, a familiar vampire myth with a unique twist. As one may imply from the title, it involves moths or butterflies, as the literal translation of it means ‘The She-Butterfly’ 🦋 #AllTheHauntsBeOurs #FilmSky #FolkHorror #HorrorMovies

The past year my friends and I made our way through the second volume of All The Haunts Be Ours, a compendium of folk horror films, much to our collective enjoyment. We began the second volume today with Eyes of Fire, a tale of tormented frontier settlers. #AllTheHauntsBeOurs #FilmSky #FolkHorror

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

No tears shed here for MTV

Happy Holidays everyone! I managed to polish off my #Hexmas blog post last night and I humbly submit it now to join the rest in Yuletide cheer! And let’s raise a glass of eggnog to @prismaticwasteland.com for coming up with this jolly concept! #blogwagon #osr #ttrpg

Happy Winter Solstice Everyone! ❄️ A bunch of us when to Butchart Gardens to see all the pretty light displays. #solstice #wintersolstice

I received my copy today of The Conquest of Chaos by Stefan Surrat. Cracked it open and I’m already agog by the first piece of art by Peter Mullen (apart from the cover which is also badass). The whole thing is filled with killer art and the campaign path looks to be wicked fun. #DCC #TTRPG

Some friends requested I run a holiday one-shot, so yesterday I ran The Doom That Came To Christmas Town, an adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics. We all had a jolly good time! I highly recommend this for those looking to run something corny and whimsical this Xmas season! #DCC #TTRPG

It's Goblin time.

OH HELL YES🤘 UNCLEAN by @christianeichhorn.bsky.social is an absolute FEAST for my gluttonous eyes and brain. This hardcover compiles three of his zines for Mörk Borg (Bergen Chrypt, Monsters!, and Sinners) into one phenomenal omnibus! #allwillblackenandburn #mörkborg #morkborg #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Last but not least, vibrant Orange Peel Fungus - Aleuria Aurantia 🍊 Thus ends all the identifiable fungi I photographed during our trip; below this post is a bunch of unknown fungi for fun and quizzies. #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Possibly a cluster of Crowded White Clitocybe - Clitocybe Dilatata. I got rough spore print of the sample I took before we left; appeared to be white. #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Puffball! Possibly a Lycoperdon Perlatum? 💨 #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Likely a Fomitopsis Mounceae aka a Red-Belted Conk polypore #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Probable Golden Fairy Club - Clavulinopsis Laeticolor #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Jelly Tooth or Cat’s Tongue fungi- Pseudohydnum gelatinousum. Much jiggle! #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Various Coral Fungi, likely of the Upright Coral - Ramaria Stricta variety. 🪸 #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Possible Jelly Crep - Crepisotus Mollis #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Possible Orange Milk Caps - Lactarius Luculentus #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Went up island this weekend for annual early familial holiday get-together. Also met up with some friends and hiked around Englishman River Provincial Park. Fungi Photodump Incoming #westcoastwetcoast

Today my lovely partner picked up this swell barely-used Old-School Essentials - Classic Fantasy boxed set. #OSE #OSR #Retroclone #TTRPGs

Met up with some friends and we foolishly opted to play the overwhelming and complex board game SETI despite having no familiarity with it. 🪐 We did have fun despite our hubris. My own personal victory was discovering Pluto and managing to set a probe in orbit around it. 🛰️ #boardgames #Pluto #SETI

A pair of recent mushroom spore prints: On the left is a beautiful print of that impressive Russula Xerampelina I harvested. On the right is a less successful print of an Amanita Muscaria. I’m currently trying various fixatives to keep these delicate prints. #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Very cool radioactive fungus news From @chelleraiser.bsky.social www.sciencealert.com/chernobyl-fu...

My first edible wild mushroom: This impressive specimen of a Russula Xerampelina aka Shrimp Russula! 🦐 As one my guess, the most obvious tell is its distinctive shrimpy odour, but I also made sure its other identifiers were correct, such as lacking a peppery taste. #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

In the same area as the previously posted Fly Agaric, there were several of these similar poisonous Amanitas, specifically those of the Amanita Pantherina variety aka Panther Amanita. #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

I also came across these yellow mushrooms which had an obnoxious and unpleasant odour - like rotten turmeric to me. The pungent smell combined with their sulphur yellow appearance leads me to believe I likely encountered Tricholoma Sulphureum aka The Stinker! 😷 #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

Whilst out today with some friends I was excited to encounter this large specimen of the classic poisonous mushroom - Amanita Muscaria aka Fly Agaric; although I had read they grow locally, I’d never actually encountered any, until now! 🍄 #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

In celebration of Buy Nothing Day, starting this Friday and over the weekend, we're closing down our store! Come join us in stepping away from overconsumption and plan a date with your friends instead! Visit a library. Start that game you always said you wanted to play. Let's crash this economy!

At last, I have acquired another legendary tome for my library. 📚 The Monster Overhaul, A Practical Bestiary by @skerples.bsky.social is what all manner of monster manuals wish to be when they grow up. 👹 #bestiary #monstermanual #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Dude

It’s likely that these local white/cream waxy mushrooms are the poisonous Sweat-producing Clitocybe (Clitocybe Dealbata / Rivulosa) as they lack any odours distinctive of other close relatives. #FungusAmongUs #FungiFriends

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. 🍄‍🟫
