I did a little roadtrip a few days ago and managed to pass by Stegeborg Castle. Despite having read the whole Wikipedia page as research for my vaesen module (tinyurl.com/yc4wrjsw 😉) the sheer scale of the place took me by surprise

A very cool definitely not haunted place. Would recommend

My latest map for the DC Väsen game: The tiny village of Grängshammar. Also probably my fastest map ever I think - I had to get it done in only a couple of hours

I love maps, very much enjoying the replies to this! I have a bunch of them but I'm quite bad at finishing projects I do for myself, I am not even half done with my world map despite fiddling with it for a long time which is annoying :/

I am very glad you like it 😊 I did ( of course) do a little photoshoot of it before I sent it with some wonderful dice @shelbykat.bsky.social sent me because the Dice company community is the best

This was a lower number than I thought! It's certainly been a nice year-and-a-bit here :)

I do a bunch of stuff. Mostly leatherwork and chainmail making at the moment

I quite enjoy heraldry so I have flags and shields for a bunch of kingdoms and duchies in my world but they have mostly been for me up until this point. Trying to slowly introduce them to my players as they travel the lands. Still pleased with the heraldry I made for the Dice Company podcast though

There is historical evidence that snails are vicious beasts.

I'd like a cat or something like that but I'd probably get this guy

I knew this would come in handy again! "From small embers, fires burn"

Oh wow! Yeah they certainly look like the time was worth it! Also I really appreciate it, you are a master of the craft!

I have a townmap which I made a couple of years ago which looks very crude to me now and my world map which I am much more pleased with but which clearly isn't done. The treeees

Unexpected use for a piece of 1:6 chain mail I made at least 15 years ago (😱). Turns out it wraps my current wrist rest perfectly and is surprisingly comfortable. Perfect for online DnD when you want that mediaeval mood 😆

At some point I said I'd make a heraldic version of the @dicecompany.bsky.social heron, so here it is finally! It doesn't quite follow normal heraldry but I've tried to fit many references in there. Quite beyond what I've done before, so a really fun challenge!

I'm very inexperienced with digital art but the continued mentions of a heron stood on an apricot in the excellent DnD podcast by @dicecompany.bsky.social made me want to give it a go. Still working on a more heraldic version 😅

A friend of mine just started working with chain mail which prompted me to actually start with the extension project to my own shirt. It was more than 10 years ago that I finished it, but feels really good to be back at it. Down the rabbit hole we go!

Working on a map of Castle Gyllencreutz, the player headquarters, for my upcoming game of Vaesen. Managed to find some old 19th century maps of a merchants villa to use as the base. Complete with two towers!

Made some progress on my D&D world map this weekend. By current rate estimates it'll be done about... 2035 or so😅
