Workbench Upgrade - 11/30/2025

 Hello friends, and welcome back to Our Basement Workshop!

Now that our ren faire season is over, we've shifted gears to begin working on garb and props for next year, as well as some projects we've been putting off for a while.

To begin with, we're going to tidy up the workshop area and make an improvement to the workbench.

Cosplay Build - Tyren Roaringhorn (Human Fighter / Rogue)

 After cosplaying as Aladon Tresendar a number of times, I felt a need for variety. In order to keep things interesting, I decided to create a set of garb for another D&D character, Tyren Roaringhorn, a nobleman hailing from the city of Waterdeep. 

We have a photo album on Facebook that documents the initial costume build and it's evolution over time.

Cosplay Build - Berrynewt Plasterpatch (Rock Gnome Rogue)

 This album documents the build process for yet another D&D character, Berrynewt Plasterpatch. An arcane trickster from the little enclave of Gnomengarde, Berrynewt doesn't have the aptitude for magical tinkering that is common to his folk. Rather, his talent lies in stealth, deception and sleight-of-hand. 

We have a photo album on Facebook that documents the initial costume build and it's evolution over time.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - 10/30/2025

 On October 30th, 2025, we attended Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

This was our third consecutive year attending the party. This time, we were dressed as  characters from the movie Up! 

Until next time, take care of yourselves and may all your adventures be fulfilling.
