It’s here! The updated sheet for the Toonkind homebrew race is finally done! (Mostly it took so long because I was determined to do new art as subrace examples, sorry)

The DnD Beyond page for the race can be found here, with the new Yupyaen and Hausen subraces separate.

Enjoy, and happy adventuring!

Ladies and gentle-wasps, for your pleasure.

Alright, SO! I always have a lot of irons in the fire, but my main one right now is “Little Rag and the Faywood’s Cap.” 

LRatFC is a children’s to pre-teen’s novel about toys who protecting their children from evil fay. On Christmas night, in an tiny village on the edge of the arctic circle, the youngest child of a family receives her first toy--a doll called Little Rag.

Little Rag gets to know the other toys, grows closer to her human child, and learns to navigate the small dangers of home and the village beyond as she waits for all the wonderful things she’s been told spring and summer will bring. But as her heart fills with all the wonders of the world, Tin Soldier and his band of older toys fight to close ranks around their children and the youngest toys as the fay from the woods reach their fingers deeper and deeper into the human village.

This story explores growing up in a wonderful but dark world, the ties between family,  and the strength of community in face of danger. It also explores the recognizing evil for what it is through all its disguises, turning away from the darkness even when it feels like all that’s left, and how brightly little pockets of light shine even in the darkest places. Current Progress: 22 Ch. 50,000 words.
