Middle school teacher here, so I've got to go with Champions of Midgard. I've pimped it out ridiculously, with a Valhalla dice tower (background) plus longboats.

In the "finishing my damn nerdy projects" department:
Long ago I ordered a storage solution for the game Pan Am. Typically, I decided I could improve on this by making some of the components *branded* like defunct airlines of the past.

Finally finished the steampunk Victorian dice tower I got many moons ago. Added purple velvet. It's mechanical/cantilevered.

As people are introducing their pets, I'd let people get to know Jelly.

She's basically an extra from Downton Abbey - the UPSTAIRS section - you're put on this earth to serve her with ear scritches and tum rubs. If these aren't provided, that is JUST NOT DONE.
