Finally done with @badvikinggames.bsky.social Strange Antiquities. I cannot recommend it enough! When you want something meditative, disquieting, and suitable for commuting or playing in bed, this game and its prequel are practically the gold standard. Can’t wait to see what these guys do next.

When you leave the confines of Strange Horticulture, remember to pack your trusty botanical field kit: Always be prepared! We came across this awesome set on Lego Ideas and had to share, because it's very cool and we want one. beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Some say this field kit once belonged to an explorer who crossed forests, cliffs, and distant valleys in the late 18th century. This case was always at his side…

@robdonkin.bsky.social @johnnydonkin.bsky.social My kiddo was so inspired by playing Strange Antiquities with me that he wanted to create his own totem. This is "Fortune's Offering," and it brings the bearer good luck.

A small figurine made of brown baked clay. It has a symbol on its body made of two triangles. It has a small gem in its forehead, two horns made from rock, and a closed-eye smile.
