Hello and welcome new followers!!

If you aren’t aware, Bluesky has a feature called “starter packs” that help jumpstart your account by following some of the best posters on a particular topic, curated by the creator of the pack!

Here is one I created in the past, with a lot of great people in it!

Eyewitness Books series! Or a visual dictionary! (Sorry if these are too broad/obv)

But also I hope we one day move beyond “best” as a concept when comparing things like different expressions of an art form

Possibly because the ones who disliked being unfairly tricked left frustrated, without saying anything, never to return to cryptics. 😢

Nobody’s said my personal frontrunner yet

If you can't wait for next week, @joeadultman.bsky.social and I teamed up to write a festive full-sized variety puzzle that @juffowup.bsky.social was kind enough to take the paywall down for, if you're so inclined to check it out!

Gonna try this! Thanks for the tip!

Well spotted!

Thanks for playing! We love a brute force, hopefully it was at least as fun as frustrating 😬

Pathfinder Quest is fun, quick to learn, and you can play too!

Looks like old Eppy is going to need a new computer monitor.

In unrelated news, have you heard about Wolfspell? www.worldswithoutmaster.com/bazaar/wolfs... 🐺✨

You know! I bet if I sold five of these puppies, I could easily get that new monitor. 🤔

That's an interesting coincidence.

Did you know that I make artsy fartsy stuff and sell it on Etsy? It's true, and I just added some new prints and stickers to my shop this morning. Feel free to stop by and take a look, and help me spread the word. I appreciate your support! 💖

Across the top of the image, four iconics from Patfinder, Merisiel, Valeros, Kyra, and Ezren, take on a monster made of fire and stone. Across the middle of the image is the "Pathfinder Quest" logo next to an image of the Time Dragon metal coin. Across a banner with coloring that resembles aged paper is the text, " Join the Launch Party and get a FREE exclusive Campaign Coin when you pledge!" Across the bottom of the image is a yellow banner with the text, "Launching Sept. 16th on" and the "BackerKit" logo.
