A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sword & Key co-founder, @evaserrate.bsky.social !
When she isn't producing, playing in, or running games with S&K, Eva is a friend, partner, and pet-parent to practically a small zoo's worth of animals.
We love & appreciate you for all you are and all you do!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Idk I think buying an erotic game made by a stripper of 8 years who once met people sort of connected to Stephen Colbert and got to tell a sweet old lady sociologist what the spread eagle is would make you pretty cool

I’m imaging Tolkien scholars performing a seance with the professor to settle whether balrogs do or do not have wings, only for him to refuse to answer and instead reveal all balrogs have huge dongs.

A 7 piece resin dice set in an open palm. The dice are clear and PACKED with opalescent mylar to make them incredibly reflective in a rainbow of colors, and the numbers are inked in a matte periwinkle. The dice also have ultra fine glitter sparkles throughout, but it is not well visible in the photo.

A secret gift commission that recently made it to the recipient!
