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.

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. 🍄‍🟫

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. 🍂 🎃

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. 👾

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!

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

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

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.”

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.
