I have now gone through ALL my @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social dice.
Here are the other dice I mentioned earlier in the thread, and a pair of d6 shaped d2s that seem to match the Quantum Kitty Clacks set, but I’m unsure if they have a name.

Here’s what I haven’t been able to identify. I’ve been calling the top d10 “Anubis” as I have a single d20 that I picked up at Gamehole Con, but now I’m second guessing myself.

Paw print pendants made by @punklenix.bsky.social for each of my cats! I don’t know what I’m gonna do with them yet, but they turned out great.

I just sleeved all of @jenniferbrozek.bsky.social’s DEAR PENPAL, BELGIUM 1980 and put it in a binder.
No risk of losing any of the letters this way, and super handy for re-reading.
(I may eventually add the stickers to my stash if they get annoying in the sleeves with the colouring pages.

Gamehole Con loot photo.
This one was dice heavy (yay) because Chessex dropped blind boxes (little mimics in the back) and both @roll4initiative.bsky.social and @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social had scoops available.

Happy Birthday @rfarrowster.bsky.social! I think it might be time for me to commission an updated photo. It's been a while since you did this one.
Hope you had a fantastic day!

I need to have a better (thicker) guide than the transparent post it I’m currently using, but aside from that throwing off vertical alignment, I’m doing well with my practice.
I figured this quote was a good way to show off how I’m doing (I’ve got other phrases that have turned out better).

I’ve been buried in builds this afternoon, and of course most of these require scripting. Here, have one of the more basic scripts I get to deal with.

Finally read the final letter from @jenniferbrozek.bsky.social’s “Dear Penpal, Belgium 1980”.
This was such a fun story to get in the mail over the past year.
