Cover of the graphic novel, “Bones of the Voyager” by Lynn Almengor and Janet Figueroa. A young woman with white hair and glasses stands on a stage decorated with a red curtain and stars hanging from the ceiling by strings. She’s trying to use a video camera while a skeleton wearing a black-and-white checkered ska getup interrupts from behind her to take a selfie.

That's awesome! I'm sure your little buddies are very grateful for all the comfortable sleeping spots!

Awww, hahaha, that tracks! My three are oldies so I started putting their carriers around their room and decking them out with blankets and toys like little sleeping forts, which they love. 🧡

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.

So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

a how to guide for creating crossword dungeons. Step 1 - Find and Do, do the crossword. Step 2 - See Beyond, find the inspiring words and start to see the shape. Step 3 - Extrapolate, ditch words you dont like, create walls, you contol the dungeon. Step 4 - Draw the rest of the owl (make the dungeon from the inspiration). Step 5 - BE NOT AFRAID. Its just a dungeon created from a crossword, they wont always work.
Useful tips: Metro for daily free crosswords. CrosswordSolver, for tricky clues. DungeonScrawl, for making maps. LootTheRoom - for more random ideas

A glowing review from BlueInk!

"Almengor writes from a place of authenticity, and Nina’s struggles find real resonance through the author’s voice. Her heartbreaking bouts with self-doubt; Beth’s long-buried trauma; even the community theater crew’s everyday hurdles – all feel credible and genuine."
