#introduction time!

I'm Dyson. I'm best known for my RPG cartography. I do work for Wizards of the Coast, Kobold Press, and a huge number of other publishers - RPGGeek lists something over 900 titles with my maps in them.

I also maintain a collection of a thousand+ free maps that you can use in your games.

Because we value accessibility here, a lot of people won't boost toots with images that don't have alt text - so not only are you being accessibility-friendly, you're also ensuring your posts reach a wider audience.

If you're having trouble remembering to include alt-text, follow @PleaseCaption who will DM you an alert when you post images without descriptions.

If you're in #Portland, remember to get your ballot in! You just have to mail it by Tuesday —and you no longer need a stamp!— but it might be better to use a drop box if you can.

Not sure who to vote for? Tina Kotek, Joanne Hardesty, and the revised charter.

1. #Violet was a tiny, curled up dog in a vast expanse of bed covers this morning.
2. Marble League ML22 season has started and my Midnight Wisps are in 6th after the first event.
3. Chicken, artichoke heart, and black olive pizza for dinner.

Yes, I am still here. Yes, I will be here if/when Twitter and the rest of social media implodes. It's nice to see you, too. Have a cat.
