IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!!

Tonight, 6-10ish, in the shop and at @upstairs.at.bow. RSVP (bio), and come along for a chill nerdy time!

At 7pm I’ll do a lil’ “State of Quest” thing in Upstairs, but aside from that it’s kind of a free-for-all, so you can choose your own adventure ⚔️🐉

See y’all later! 🖤 by @sidequestbooks
