Thomas Knight. Conservation biologist. Dungeons & Dragons lover. Board game fanatic. Probably the only person alive to have been gored by a Nilgiri tahr. Have also held more kakapos than more than 8 billion other humans have. Even more than Stephen Fry, I'd wager. Liberal, in that I don't spread hate for people based on who they are- I am only intolerant of intolerance.
Species:Homo sapiens

I made a new post/video about my snow golem #miniature for #dnd for Christmas. The official #dnd5e mini from Wizkids is the wrong size, so I found some that are the right size, and that I liked better anyhow, from Alternative Armies. Then I got kind of carried away with the snowman theme...

I made a new post/video about my hill giant #miniature for #dnd Pulling out a #giant for my #dnd5e game is always the correct answer- I do love me a giant. Not as terrifying as dragons perhaps, but more relatable, and they can be found in much larger numbers, which can be much more challenging.

I made a new post/video about my
Reaper Miniatures swarm of ravens #miniature for #dnd It makes me happy to use Julie Guthrie miniatures in my #dnd5e game, because they always look stunning. Plus, everyone loves a #raven and the only thing better than a raven is a big group of them. I love that Julie's sculpt has them picking the flesh from the bones of a shipwrecked sailor.

I made a new post/video about my animated broom/broom of animated attack #miniature for #dnd It feels good whenever I use a Ral Partha miniature in my #DND5e game, even if it is a newer one like this adorable little guy.

I have enough.
I made a new post/video about my mastiff #miniature for #dnd, since I am going through all of the #dnd5e mount options. Not that most people can ride a #dog in D&D; you have to be pretty small to manage that feat.

The absolute disregard for anything alive. The lack of care for anything not immediately putting money in their pocket. The naked conflict of interest and regulatory capture.
The shameless vandalism in their statements.

Paywall is now lifted.

Law change protects vulnerable roads and mines from skinks, geckos and frogs

Resources Minister Shane Jones says the best argument for stopping the OceanaGold mine is that vibrations will disturb the mating of endangered frogs – and that's not a good enough reason. Jonathan Milne reports.

I made a new post/video about my riding #horse #miniature for #dnd. This #mini is one of the most commonly used of my #dnd5e minis, even though it’s not a scary monster, so it’s always good to have one on hand.

I made a new post/video about my #pony #miniature for #dnd. This #mini is painted like a Przewalski’s #horse because I used to work with them and they are delightful, beautiful, and #endangered and I often paint my #dnd5e #minis like endangered animals. I worked with Przewalski’s horses briefly and can confirm that they are wonderful animals. I can also confirm that theirn name is easier to pronouce than it seems.
