Meet Jerry! The most precious little dinosaur, now in plush-form!

My only experience in sewing was watching my mom machine sew many dresses and costumes for us growing up, so he's not identical to the game version, BUT for my very first sewing project he's still pretty cute!

I downloaded and printed a pre-existing pattern of a basic dragon plush, and spent roughly a week and a half after work every day. The first 4 days were spent on the head alone, trying to figure out how to go from a standard rounded head, to include the pointed head like it does in-game. Those 4 days were a LOT of trial and error by sewing what I thought would work for the correct head shape, it not working out and having to start over. I also had to change the pattern of the limbs, the belly and come up with the eyes from scratch buuutt he's finished and he's thriving. I don't own a sewing machine so Jerry is 100% handsewn.

He should have been a little chunkier but we love Jerry.

Meet the Questies (quest besties)!

No, they're not fully trained but they're paid well, fed well, and do a fantastic job!

I'm nowhere near finished with the Fantasy side of Wailon Lodge, but I like what's there so far! This is version 2 of my fantasy museum, enjoy!

Archwise Rise from Scorched Earth - reimagined! It took me a hot minute to settle on a locationc simply because there's so many cool and funny ones to choose from!

I settled on this one because I love magic, wizardry and the nebula colours really hit a spot in my brain I had to tickle.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Wetlanteans and Merfolk - Come one, come all to the THE place to be this summer!

I chose to base a card on one of my new favorite exhibits, the Stone Trolls. As soon as I collected all the pieces and noticed they were playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors", I was geeking out.

I only learnt about this bounty 3 days ago, so I haven't had much time to design the card or come up with a fully fledged game. But, I do know it would be similar to The Witcher's "Gwent", mixed with the classic silliness of Two Point. For the card design itself I used a mix between the style of "Flesh and Blood" and "Magic".

Gamewise, similar to Gwent there would be character or item cards with several types, and a mix of them at play at once.

Curators - they can find item cards in your deck to use for play;
Janitors - have some healing factors or can repair broken item cards (use an item card once, it breaks);
Guards - the opponents card gets peppered, loses hp;
Assistant - helps the player, boosts hp for 1 card;
Analyst - can analyze the opponents hand;
Bandage box - regain hp;
Curators Tools - reveal a hidden card;

And so on.

Cards based on exhibits such as the pictured Stone Trolls, would have goofy executions. As another example-

Fates O' Twenty - Roll a D20 dice, the resulting number is the damage counters put on your opponent. If you roll a 20, double it. If you roll 5 or lower, add 20 damage counters to one of your own cards.

The Trolls would be a goofy break during play, and an easy way to win or lose a round. High risk, high reward, right? Would you play the card?

I had been trying to get a pristine quality turtle for a while and finally got it!
