On my way to celebrate my oldest buddy's big birthday! I am never prepared enough for travel, my nervous system loathes it and will let me know at every opportunity 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 It's worth it though, if only to tease my friend about being 🤏🏻that much older than me 😝 #audhdsky #autisticsky

They have on a patterned black loose fitting t-shirt with a colourful ttrpg themed items.

They are looking at the camera with raised eyebrows, slightly pursed lips and wide eyes, appearing a bit like a squirrel caught scampering across your garden fence.

BEHOLD! Alagrestian burlesque performers!🎉💃🕺 These were so much fun to do, I have five designs all finished, but I will be doing more in the future! Here’s the first two, Jax (orc) & Grey (birb) #merch #ttrpgsky #digitalart #artsky #anthroart #fantastyartsky #procreate #burlesquesky
Full colour digital painting, made with Procreate.

3/4 figure portrait of an Orcish woman, Jax. She is dressed in a sparkling burnt orange two piece, with large gold circular clasps connecting the bra to draping straps, with sheer veils attached at the strap and bra. Another veil hangs from underneath her ample cleavage. She wears similarly coloured stockings to complete the outfit.

Her skin is a deep, lively moss green, her lips are painted in a vibrant red, decorated with several gold piercings. Her small tusks peek over her lower lip at the corners. She has a gold septum piercing, almost yellow, amber eyes and voluminous, perfectly tousled curly red hair.

She is leaning forward seductively, her hair slightly obscuring the right side of her face. Her right ear peeks through her curls. Her expression is soft and inviting.

The entire portrait is outlines in a deep almost magenta burgundy, with a fob intended as a keyring attachment.Full colour digital painting, made with Procreate.

3/4 figure portrait of an anthropomorphic male Secretary Bird, named Grey. 

He is posing facing to the left, body turned 1/4 to the left. He is holding a taught whip in front of his shoulders, showing off his muscular arms and long black wings, folded neatly as if draped like a shawl over his arms. 

He wears a simple, elegant dark teal cross harness. Clasped in the middle of his chest with a large bronze ring. The harness attached to matching slinky underwear with more bronze clasps.

His right leg is raised his knee pointed to the left, showing off an elegant lower bare leg. 

His torso, arms and head are mostly covered in white feathers, contrasting his black wings and thighs. His eye and beak are bare, with vibrant orange to red skin around his eye and grey hooked beak. 

The feathers on his head come to a flared crest of grey, with highlights of white along the edges. 

His expression is soft, with a cheeky smile and shy look.

Full colour digital painting made with Procreate. 

A single full page landscape picture depicts a fantastical world floating in a cosmos of blues and purples, littered with stars. 

The central focus is this world, it is not spherical but more like an enormous island. A vast ocean supports several landmasses with clouds overhead, while enormous stalagmites line the ocean ‘floor’, seeming to hang from where the ocean stops.  Four celestial bodies orbit the ‘island’ like moons, in close proximity to what appears to be an atmospheric ‘bubble’ encasing the ‘island and its environment. 

A small green skinned, fuzzy haired chibi style goblin floats beside the world, smiling they are clearly presenting the world. Several speech bubbles encircle the scene, with Gobby’s words:

This is Alagrestia! 
A high fantasy, high sci-fi, TTRPG/Lit setting.
Created by a Jewish, disabled, queer enby. 
It’s got all the good stuff…
Queernormativity. Neurodiversity.
Accessibility. Diverse peoples respectfully inspired by real world cultures.
Sentient Mountains.
Tree Dwelling, lumberjack Orcs.
Mercenary Burlesque Troupes.
Magically tricked out mobility tools. Plane hopping travel journalists. And so much more!
If that sounds like your kind of vibe, stick around! I’ve got loads more to share.

There is also another much smaller speech bubble, coming from the island, Alagrestia itself, which just reads:

Yo.

Alright I've been really struggling with the ol' menty health, but I've been doing things too. These are the first drafts of what will be the first three pages of Tales of Alagrestia: Volume 1. Not sure how much this will change but I'm fairly happy with these for now. #ttrpgsky #artsky
A4 portrait format, digital art made with Procreate

A dark blue, black and purple vista of deep space, with faint celestial purpleblue clouds drifting throughout. 

Pink, blue and purple stars litter the scene, giving depth. 

In the foreground a sweeping helix of golden light streaks across the cosmos, strands of light peel off, connecting to glowing text, floating over it all.

The helix stretches off into the distance behind, hinting at an infinite nature. 

The text reads:

"I'd like to throw you in at the deep end..."

"... Don't worry, it'll be fun."

"But you'll have to trust me."

The same cosmic vista as page 1, with a closer view of the golden helix, clouds and stars. 

The glowing text hovering above it reads:

"You're doing great, just keep reading."

"Alright, are you ready?..."A4 portrait format digital artwork made with Procreate.

The background is a deep blue and purple starry sky, littered with faintly glowing stars and distant galaxies. In the foreground are several larger golden glowing stars, with one word glowing a similar hue in the centre.

The Magob Monarch

While the Magobs are a welcome addition to the citizens of the Vermillion Kingdom, their origins remain shrouded in mystery.

Vermillious folx tell stories of the Magob Monarch —
an enormous Magob wearing a crown of gleaming liquid gold, said to dwell within the heart of the Esse.

They say she spawns the Magobs from her royal chamber, sending them into the world to help those who work with flame and forge.

Full colour digital painting, made within Procreate. A sentient humanoid tree branch stands upright against a mottled green-to-purple background. Their body is made of twisting wood covered in patches of moss and lichen that form a robe-like shape. Pale green lichen creates full eyebrows, a moustache, and a beard, giving them an expressive face. In one hand, they hold a large fern frond like a quill pen, lifted as if ready to write. Their other hand holds a long parchment scroll that unfurls down to the ground. The character is the Lichen Scribe, who records anything the deity Impotsutrix requires.

Alagrestia Holiday Prompts Day 7: 🍃🧙‍♀️Equinosian Chracter🧙‍♀️🍃 Panora Haze, Keeper of Dewplume Crossing. #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #worldbuilding #amwriting #writincommunity #concepart #artsky
Full colour minifig, made in Heroforge

A elderly, greying, gorilla-like Apefolk woman stands facing the viewer, dressed in layered green and purple garments: a rustic green shawl drapes over her shoulders and a similarly coloured shirt, with bell sleeves. 

Her split overskirt in the same hues hangs over a pair of woven leaf shorts. She wears a wide-brimmed green hat topped with a wreath of rainbow-coloured roses. One hand holds a woven basket filled with produce and herbs; the other holds a single purple flower. 

Her skin/feet are rough and dark, like bark or stone. Behind her is a bright field with scattered trees, blue sky, and white clouds. This character is Panora Haze, Keeper of Dewplume Crossing.
Text reads:

Panora Haze Keeper of Dewplume Crossing.

After much travel across Alagrestia, Panora, a veteran herbologist, alchemist & gardener, settled at Dewplume Crossing.

Seeing the potential for a restorative haven for weary travellers, Panora set to the business of cultivation & agriculture. She tends the Crossing, growing rare herbs & potent magical plants, in careful patterns, hybridising strange yet powerful new flora.

Dewplume Crossing has become her home & while she is welcoming, she will guard it fiercely from the greedy or disrespectful.

Alagrestia Holiday Prompts Day 6: ❄️🔮Sapstream of The Shivering Woodlands🔮❄️ #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #worldbuilding #amwriting #writincommunity #concepart #artsky
Full-colour digital TTRPG map made in Inkarnate.

A snow-covered forest region bordered by snow laden cliffs and icy water. Four named settlements glow with soft golden light through dense trees: Holbrow in the northwest, Velven in the southwest, Kindlebranch in the northeast near a wooden bridge, and Neventhe in the southeast near the water’s edge. The landscape transitions from this sheets of ice and snow at the edges to vibrant green within.

In the sky above every settlement, floats a soft halo of amber-gold orbs high above the treetops, this is the Sapstream. These create a network of sorts, with the Sapstream constantly moving, able to supply arcane energies to the settlements below, suspended & stabilised by arcane means both natural and Orcan. Digital graphic with blue background and white text.
Text reads:

Sapstream

Above each settlement in the Shivering Woodlands floats a soft halo of amber-gold orbs — the Sapstream.

Held aloft by arcane forces both natural and Orcan, the Sapstream forms a living network of suspended energy.

Secreted by the largest and most long-lived trees of the Woodlands, Kindlebranch Firs, this bioluminescent sap trickles upwards, eventually leaving the canopy altogether, settling in the skies above.

These nodes of sap then begin a continuous ‘orbit,’ emitting endless arcane energies to be harnessed by the settlements below.

Full colour gouache painting of four small magma creatures on a warm orange background.

Each creature, called a Magob, has a semi-liquid body of glowing magma with dark, coal-like crust forming across its surface. The crust appears thick and cracked, cooling in uneven patches that reveal fiery red magma beneath. Each Magob has large, bright yellow eyes and a curious, expressive look. Their shapes vary, some squat and rounded, others elongated or partially melted, as if caught mid-bubble or stretch. The background fades through vivid orange and amber tones, evoking heat, flame, and molten light.Full colour digital text panel on a red gradient background, text reads:

Magobs of the Vermillion Esse

Small, sentient blobs of molten curiosity, the Magobs live and work among the furnaces of the Vermillion Kingdom.

Among the more charming creatures native to the Esse, Magobs have long found a place within the Kingdom’s citizenry. Composed of endlessly simmering magma and crusted coal, they lend their heat to fuel forges, power machinery, and the occasional bubble bath.”

Alagrestia Holiday Prompts Day 4: 🏝️📜Zenythan Folklore📜🏝️ Very early map draft, just to provide the general layout #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #worldbuilding #amwriting #writincommunity #concepart #artsky
Full colour digital TTRPG map, made in Inkarnate.

The map shows the Tidal Dunes, a wide expanse of golden desert where seven large dunes rise and fall like waves caught in motion. The dunes dominate the scene, their ridges and slopes curling as if shaped by an unseen storm.

Across the sands are scattered signs of habitation: two larger settlements built upon dunes, marked by structures and glowing crystal formations, while elsewhere ruins and fragments of stonework lie half-buried. Clusters of palm trees and sparse vegetation break the monotony of the sand, giving hints of life in the desert.Full colour screenshot of a stylised worldbuilding text panel. Text reads:

The Restless Dreamer of the Tidal Dunes

The Tidal Dunes are a vast stretch of the Golden Expanse, where seven peaks roil as if caught in a crawling oceanic storm.

Zenythan folklore attributes this phenomenon to The Restless Dreamer; an enormous eel-like creature slumbering beneath the sands. It is said their dream began before Zenytha itself and will continue until Alagrestia wanes into dust and memory. No one has ever seen this colossal being, yet the results of its tumultuous tossing and turning paint a clear picture for the locals.

One of an ancient, mysterious beast, dreaming dreams of eternity. screenshot of a stylised worldbuilding text panel.

Alagrestia Holiday Prompts Day 3: 🍃🧭Location in Equinos🧭🍃 Dewplume Crossing. #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #worldbuilding #amwriting #writincommunity #concepart #artsky
Full colour digital illustration of a fantasy TTRPG battle map.

The map depicts a riverside apothecary settlement, Dewplume Crossing, divided by a vertical rushing river. On the left, sweeping flower fields bloom in layered colours—blue, purple, red, yellow, and white. A rustic wooden home sits beside and partly within a massive tree root protrusion, ringed by towering mushrooms with pink, orange, and blue speckled caps. A lantern-lit path winds from the home to a wooden bridge that crosses the river.

On the right, the land is cultivated with clear purpose. At the top, a small dock juts into the river beside a pond fed by a stream, while neat farmland rows and garden plots fill the nearby slope. A wood-splitting area with logs and tools lies close to the path. Below, a spiral vineyard flourishes, its vines carefully trained to grow from another giant root protruding from the ground. This vast root spreads outward in twisting limbs, with pathways and stone-paved clearings woven through it. At the bottom, a campsite of pitched tents, a campfire, and supplies rests in a clearing. Dense forest frames the map on all sides, with rocky cliffs at the base, creating a secluded, magical atmosphere.Full colour digital illustration of a fantasy world map segment.

The map shows a heavily forested region centred on the Culmen Forest, which stretches between waterways and lakes. At the northern edge of the forest lie the island settlements of Glance and Gaze, each nestled in large lakes. Flowing southward, the rivers form the Weeping Brooks, winding through dense woodland before opening out into the lower lands. To the west, the rocky pass of Windthrown Gulch is marked, with the towering cliffs of Soaring Precipice above. The eastern side of the map shows the Sward Fell, a highland woodland region.

A bright blue circle highlights the location of Dewplume Crossing, situated at the mouth of the Weeping Brooks where they open toward Windthrown Gulch. This marks the settlement’s position as a river crossing point between forest, cliffs, and flowing water.Dark teal text box with pale teal text, text reads:

Dewplume Crossing is a secluded settlement at the mouth of the Weeping Brooks, where the rivers merge into Windthrown Gulch. Named for the ever present veil of dew and fragrant pollen, drifting across the small settlement.

Revered for its collection of rare plants, carefully tended by its Keeper, Panora Haze. She greets & monitors the Crossing’s numerous visitors, who come to collect small amounts of these plants for their arcane potency. The majority of which produce spores, petals, and oils with properties unseen elsewhere on the continent.

The Twilight Vineyard in particular is fiercely guarded by Panora, allowing only a select few to sample the fruits of her labour.

Alagrestia Holiday Prompts Day 2: 🐊🌱Plants of Vernai🌱🐊 The Boombloom Tree, a highly explosive plant found in the Verdurous Fen of Vernai. #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #worldbuilding #amwriting #writincommunity #concepart #artsky
Full colour digital image with stylised text in a bordered box.

The text reads:

“Boombloom Trees are one of Vernai’s most volatile species of flora. Their blooms, while pleasantly luminous are highly explosive, if not handled correctly.

When harvested safely the petals, bulbs & seeds are used in various ways. Dried leaves & petals make a fragrant, smouldering pyre-pourri, used in spiritual practices.

Preserved bulbs can be encased in the bark of the tree to be thrown at ones enemy, creating a small but potent explosion.

And seeds are most often used as a natural accelerant for campfires & hearths.”Full colour photo of a small gouache painting.

An upright luminous bloom rises on a sturdy brown stem, framed by dark green leaves arching in from the sides. The flower resembles a glowing streetlamp lantern, its upright bud formed from overlapping orange petals that curve outward into a bulbous shape. The top flares into small curling tips, where glowing golden spores float upward in a loose trail. A jagged green leafy collar clasps the bloom at its base, where the stem thickens and supports it like a mounted fixture. Two soft halos of yellow light radiate outward from behind the bloom, enhancing its resemblance to a lamp casting light against the teal background. The impression is of a volatile yet radiant plant, upright and glowing like a fiery lantern amongst the foliage.

I set myself a fun little worldbuilding prompt list for my hols 😊 2 weeks of Alagrestia! Day 1: 🌊 🐙 Creature of the Corucean Ocean🐙 🌊 Kreelpers, living clumps of kelp, with some pretty nasty gnashers. #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #worldbuilding #amwriting #writingcommunity #concepart #artsky
Text box with dark ocean background, a lighter blue frame and light blue text. The text reads:

Kreelpers resemble large floating clumps if kelp, spending most of their lives drifting with the tides. Small fish & ocean life will seek shelter amongst its fronds, only to be swiftly speared by a viney tendril and delivered to the Kreelper's waiting maw.

As they float across the waters, Kreelpers will often merge together, creating a much larger, more aggressive beast. With the added mobility and power of the swarm, they are able to ensnare and devour much larger prey. 

Additionally as they swarm they begin to emit a noxious oil like substance, toxic to any non-plant based life that should mistake it for a safe harbour from the great blue void. 
Full colour photo of a small gouache painting.

A green sea creature resembling a drifting clump of kelp floats on the surface of the water, spanning no more than seven feet across. Its body is amorphous and plantlike, spreading into flat fronds that blur the line between plant and flesh. Long, vine-like tendrils writhe and lash outward, some curling loosely while others spear into fish, hoisting their struggling or limp bodies above the waves. One fish dangles helplessly near the creature’s wide maw, which is filled with sharp, triangular teeth arranged in a jagged grin. The tendrils bend and coil with restless energy, giving the impression of constant motion and predatory intent, as though the kelp-like mass is alive and hunting beneath the disguise of drifting seaweed.

Six Metallic Mephitis stand in a cobbled courtyard, all wear matching navy blue guard uniforms with gold trim and buttoned shirts, knee-length trousers, and caps. Their skin is a smooth, reflective silver and they have large ears, clawed feet, and pointed noses. From left to right:

1. Grobble stands with arms crossed and an unimpressed expression. His mouth is slightly downturned, and he leans casually.

2. Grubble raises one hand in a confident salute and has a wide, open-mouthed grin, exuding enthusiasm.

3. Frank stands casually, with a friendly expression. He holds a large coffee mug with a gold star in one hand and waves with the other. His face is calm and professional.
	
4. Gribble holds a can in one hand and wears round dark sunglasses. A small cigar hands from the corner of his mouth. 
	
5. Grebble is turned toward the next figure, laughing with a wide smile as he holds his belly.
	
6. Grabble, the tallest, is holding his cap in one hand, revealing cutlery protruding from his coned head. His ears are slightly swept back, and he stands with relaxed posture.

Each character displays a distinct personality while clearly part of the same guard unit.

Her outfit is an ensemble of midnight blue and silver lined garments, tied with a coppery belt holding satchels. Her feet are hoofed and purple, she stands in a soft pose, her parasol tilted protectively above her shoulder.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

A masculine lava-skinned figure stands tall in the centre of a coliseum. His obsidian skin glows with magma-like cracks and is accented by a neatly groomed orange beard and a thick swirl of bright orange hair. He wears a sleeveless red robe trimmed with golden yellow, wrapped and belted in matching fabric. His right hand is clenched near his chest in a firm gesture. He has broad features and glowing orange eyes, giving him a stern and commanding presence. His hooves are wide and yellow-orange, resembling cooled magma. The coliseum arches curve behind him under a dusky sky.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

A thick lava-tipped tail arcs behind her, ending in a pale ember glow. She holds a long black staff with copper fittings and a small green globe, while her other hand rests on a satchel slung on her hip. Her hooves are solid grey, like cooled stone.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

Been having lots of fun with the Cuisimancer class, I've got concepts for three sub-classes so far. 1. Soup Slinger 2. Savoury Savoir 3. Protein Pummeller Each has their own style of combat, unique bonuses & lots of flavour 😜 #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgsky #ttrpgsetting #amwriting #sff #worldbuilding
Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

An amphibifolk man, a Cuisimancer of the Soup Slinger subclass, stands in a green field beneath a clear sky. His blue skin glistens in the sunlight, and his wide eyes and subtle smirk give him a relaxed air. He wears brown overalls with a tan sash and carries a ladle in one hand and a clay soup bowl in the other. A small barrel is strapped to his back and seasoning flasks dangle from his belt. A woven straw hat shades his face, and a sprig of herb sticks out from the corner of his mouth. The open landscape behind him is bright and calm.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

A joyful Dunalve (desert elf) woman, a Cuisimancer of the Savoury Savoir subclass, performs a fluid dance on the sandy floor of an ancient coliseum. Her skin is a warm brown and she wears a vibrant red and gold sash adorned with a sun emblem over a teal outfit. Her dark hair is tied back, and she has a confident smile and alert green eyes. In her right hand she wields a golden spoon dripping with molten sauce, while her left holds a small clay bowl overflowing with the same shimmering substance. Gourd-shaped flasks hang from her belt. The stone arena behind her curves around the background beneath a pale morning sky.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

A muscular feline wildkin, a Cuisimancer of the Protein Pummeller subclass, stands confidently in the middle of a medieval village street. He has orange-brown fur, a thick mane and wears a pale blue chef’s coat with matching trousers and red belt. His expression is determined and intense. He grips a large raw drumstick in his right hand and a large, silver floppy fish in his left. His tail is curled around a pepper grinder. Behind him, timber-framed buildings line the path, framed by greenery and a blue sky. His feet are bare, claws out, firmly planted in a battle-ready stance.

Fellow DMs, how do you prep a new session at short notice?🧵(1/3) Due to player illness, I had to throw together a session for 2 on Sunday & it was great! I used a dream scenario, as its an isolated narrative with lots of space for improv. #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgsky #dndsky #dnd5e #foreverDM

Ol' Gnashy is a living relic. Sprouting before the Karst Emergence, surviving The Time of Tumult & settlement of The Great Karst City, Gnashy has thwarted numerous attempts on it's life. This poses a bit of an issue for Camp WiWa, who insist on using its home as a training ground.🧵(1/6) #ttrpgsky

Hibernation is going well, I've rested more, been more sustainably productive, felt less guilt/pressure & feel generally more comfortable. I've just opened my #discord to my friends & if it goes the way I hope, I'll quietly add the link to my bio in the near future 😂 🧵(1/4) #audhd #cripcoop

A mouse-like Wildkin stands confidently in a sunlit grassy field beneath a clear blue sky. She has soft brown fur, large round ears, and a bright, front-toothed smile. Mildwena wears a green leafy mantle, explorer’s gear in pale to warm greens and deep browns and a pair of copper circular framed glasses. In her right hand, she holds an open map book, and a brass telescope slung on her left hip. She has blue potion bottles hung at the other hip.

The open landscape behind her is gentle and breezy, with pale grasses and distant slopes under strong daylight.

A goblin character stands barefoot on a mist-shrouded forest path. He has pale green and teal skin, mottled with grey splotches, long drooped pointed ears, and a quizzical face framed by a swept-back grey and green mohawk and thick eyebrows. His name is Greeb Drubbledroop. He wears an mahogany tunic with leafy green and yellow shoulder padding, dark brown trousers, and a green belt. A necklace of small fangs or carved teeth hangs at his neck. He carries a hand crafted fishing pole slung across his back, with a leather pouch and slingshot hang at his waist. The forest around him is lush and shadowed, with violet wildflowers at the base of tall, dark trees.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG miniature, made with Heroforge.

An older Scalefolk—part of a varied group of anthropomorphic reptilian peoples that includes Tortle-esque individuals—stands waving on a quiet woodland path. He is stout, with dark green scales, striped forearms and legs, and golden claws. Poggin wears a light blue shirt beneath a grey buttoned vest and salmon-pink trousers rolled at the knee. His face is round and kind, partially shaded by a wid, grass green straw hat. One hand is raised in a casual, friendly wave, while the other grips a tall, gnarled wooden staff. The surrounding forest is hazy and soft-lit, with scattered foliage and small wildflowers along the path.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG miniature, made with Heroforge.

A bipedal Scalefolk character—part of a diverse group of anthropomorphic reptilian people, some akin to dragonborn, kobolds, or Tortles—stands on a forest path beneath a hazy canopy. Clatch has green scales, a broad, muscular build, and a fierce expression. His face features a snout-like nose, heavy brow ridges, and central upward-curving golden horns. He wears a sleeveless crimson wrap vest and matching trousers torn at the knees. His hands are wrapped in cloth, and one is raised in a martial pose. Yellow claws tip his toes. The surrounding forest is misty, with soft green light and small purple flowers dotting the path.

I've been working on Vernai since I began the kids campaign, new NPCs, expanding lore on The Order of the Wild Heart & Wild Wanderers, new maps (ofcourse) & 1st drafts of stories which were scribbled notes 'til now. I feel like it's really coming to life now 😊 🧵(1/2) #ttrpgsky #worldbuilding

Wubb Toadbloom is a young Amphibifolk druid in training, resembling a bright green, frog-like humanoid with large, pale blue webbed toes and fingers. She stands in a misty forest clearing with tall, shadowy trees and scattered purple flowers. Wubb wears a red tunic with white pointed trim, tied at the waist with a belt, and carries a backpack. Her large eyes and slight posture suggest nervousness, but her eager expression shows enthusiasm. She holds a tall wooden staff with a twisted top and red accents in both hands. The ambient light filtering through the trees gives the scene a quiet, magical feel.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG map made with Inkarnate.

A top-down illustrated map of a wooded summer camp labeled “Camp WiWa,” annotated with white handwritten text. The terrain includes dense and patchy forest, grassy clearings, dirt paths, and a small lake. Green and orange dashed lines indicate trails and area boundaries. Notable locations marked on the map include:

• T. Lead Cabin – A small structure in the top right area; designated for the Troop Leader.

• Food Hall – Communal dining area near the T. Lead Cabin.

• Llaarm Nest – A nearby pen or structure for Llaarms, emu-like riding mounts.

• CABINS – Central cluster of buildings labeled collectively, representing the main troop sleeping quarters.

• Park – A lightly forested recreational zone on the left side of the map.

• Archery – A small designated area next to the Park, likely for target practice.

• Obstacle Course – Adjacent to the Archery area, situated in sparse woods.

• Docks – Located on the far left, extending into a small lake.

• Bridge – Positioned just above the Docks, crossing a narrow water channel.

• Wattle Dodge Arena – A large circular clearing near the bottom center of the map, possibly for games or training.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

A Swamp Genasi ranger named Marshall Mireheart sits astride a large beast named Grunger, a sturdy, dog-like creature with a thick coat in mottled shades of green and brown, resembling moss and undergrowth. Marshall has vivid blue skin overgrown in places with patches of green moss and algae. He has long green hair, pointed ears, and glowing green eyes. His outfit consists of practical, forest-colored gear including a sleeveless tunic, green trousers, a furred shoulder covering, and a leather belt with pouches. He holds a gnarled wooden staff in one hand, while a small, bat-like creature named Peeps clings to his other hand with wings slightly outstretched. They stand on a path in a misty forest, surrounded by towering trees and filtered light breaking through the canopy.Full colour screenshot of a TTRPG minifigure made with Heroforge.

Guak is a red-skinned Grung rogue with an amphibian humanoid appearance. He is crouched in a misty, dark swamp surrounded by tall, barren trees. Guak wears a green hood that shadows his face and a leafy green outfit with a brown scarf draped around his neck and shoulders. His large, webbed hands and feet are positioned low to the ground in a stealthy stance. His eyes are focused forward, and he holds a small, leaf-shaped blade in one hand. The scene is dimly lit, with dense fog curling around the ground.

You weren’t “too sensitive” You were overwhelmed by a world that wouldn’t adapt You weren’t “lazy” You were dysregulated, in a system that demands output over care You weren’t “fine” You were masking - because it was safer than being you. You weren’t the problem. The space wasn’t safe.

A few days into my #burnout hibernation, I finally realised I really do need a break & need to slow down overall. I've worked on Alagrestia pretty much every day for the past 5yrs, which has been fantastic in a lot of ways.🧵(1/4) #disabledcreator #cripcoop #autismsky #chronicpain #spoonie

Been working on my home a lot during my hibernation. I don't really like my house, it's tiny, badly made, overpriced & super not at all accessible 🤣😭 But it's what I've got & I'm grateful for it, so I'm making it the home I want it to be. We've got a ways to go yet but it already feels nicer ☺️

Hublin went downstairs to get me some ice cream & came back with a delightful spinach & chicken salad. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but he only made it because he forgot what he went down there for 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ #adhdsky #adhd
