January Update

We have a few inventory updates:

Bee Donations

Please forgive the lack of updates on this! I've set the donations to be automatically deducted every month so I often forget to post about it. 

I'm pleased to announce that our monthly donation to The Bee Conservancy (they had a name change to better reflect their efforts to help all bees) has risen to $300 a month!  Things were a bit rocky there last year starting in August but we've stayed pretty steady ...

Welcome to The Blood Reef Isles, the home of my original character, Junonia Darkreef - Captain of the Bloodwake, for a pirate campaign!  In my enthusiasm to finally be able to contribute something to our game outside of playing my character, I completely forgot about...

Next Snappy Dice Tray Design

Normally I like to poll you all to decide on the next Snappy Dice Tray design to release but as this will hopefully be available in February, I thought the Druid Rose would be perfect for it (plus, next month is my birthday on the first and this is one of my favorite compass designs other than the one I use for my logo).

I'll poll you next month for March's design.

Building this together

I'm doing my best to spend this month finishing up all the small things needed on my website & getting ready to get back in full swing of map-making fun next month!  One of the things that yesterday's post reminded me of is how much I love being able to share all of this with you.  I've got a HUGE list for 2021 that I want to accomplish with lots of fun things I think you'll all really enjoy.

So this leads to a simple request from me: If you purchase anything from my site ...

Can I ask a small favor of you?

If you purchased something from my shop, could you kindly leave a review? If you do, I'll send you a code for a 10% discount (verified purchases only) off your next order in my shop.

If you've purchased from other small shops, check to see if they have a way to leave reviews or maybe just send them a message to let them know you got the items, what you thought of them, or if they were a gift, how well they were received, etc. 

After the holiday rush, us small businesses are e...

Spend time in voice chat with me for the holidays

The holidays are extremely difficult for many people even when there's not a pandemic and civil unrest happening.  As someone who has very little contact with their biological family, I know exactly how difficult this time of year can be.

So I will be hanging out in voice chat on Discord for the following weekends if anyone needs someone to talk to, hang out with, just not feel alone, or just to share some joy:

  • November 26-29th
  • December 24-27th
  • Decembe...

Website Update: Tutorials

Though I plan on updating the tutorials and add new ones eventually, I've added the cartography class to the website and broke things down to make it a bit more easy to follow.  So if you're a Surveyor or higher, you should have automatic access to them.

If you don't and are a Surveyor or higher, message me if you don't have access to anything as a patron. If it's just to the course you don't have access to, comment belo...

Closing the Map Queue

To the quick: I'll be shutting down my map queue.  It's been over 3 year since I've been able to do my own projects.

Will I open it again in the future? Yes. But not the same way it currently is.  Once I feel better about doing them again, I plan on messaging anyone who is in the queue now and still a patron to do their map.  It will be random and between my own projects.

The long story:
For those in it, I'm ter...

Skyrim Day!

Today marks the day Skyrim originally was released in 2011 (yes, 11/11/11) and as is my annual tradition, I'll be playing ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) and enjoying foods made from the Official Elder Scrolls Cookbook!

If you play ESO on the NA server on PC (alphabet soup of a sentence here), I'm on there under DivineRegret or Ruebee of the Squee and will be playing off & on all day long. :D

Pre-made Wax Seals

Now available on my site, pre-made wax seals ready to add to your scrolls, letters, spells, & more!  We've all wanted to add wax seals to our props, gifts, letters, etc. but when you only need a small handful at most, it seems not really worth the expense.  But since I've already got a collection brewing for the props I make, I thought I would offer wax seals for sale.

I turned 43 that year, and made a pan of brownies for each year.

Getting Automated!!!

I need to give a great deal of thanks to fellow Ruebee & friend, Simon (WanderingDM: https://www.patreon.com/wanderingdm ) who was able to help with several very large & daunting tasks recently.

Not only did he help me set things up with my website so everyone can log in and automatically get their discount, he also helped me set up an automatic birthday & anniversary list for all of you!

We'll get through this together!

Let me start by saying, that with the pandemic and the current state of affairs in the US, things are all around difficult to say the least. 

I want each and every one of you know that I fully understand if you need to lower and/or stop your pledges to me on Patreon.  As hard as it is to see any of you go or to know you're struggling, I also don't want you to fee bad/guilty for taking care of yourself & your families.

And yes, with every pledge decreased or stopped, ...

Holiday Shipping Deadlines

I know, I know! It's not even Halloween yet but when you sell things online, you're well aware of shipping deadlines for the holidays in October. It's the nature of the business.

However, if you plan on purchasing from my website for any holiday shopping, you're going to want to do it by mid-November at the latest. With the state of the Post Office & COVID, not only is shipping delays common, product creation is taking a bit longer as well. Please know that we're working as fast as ...
