🏰 Welcome to Houx’s Trading Post.

Curious wares. Questionable provenance.
And one very substantial tavern tab.

The Merchants would like to explain.
Probably.

🧭 Adventurers' Log 2 – The Birthday Quest 🎂🎲

Our resident Druid turned 11 yesterday, and celebrated with a trip to Bomran Games for his birthday spends.

There was some barrel diving for shiny new math rocks 🎲, a new model acquired 🐉, and then home for cake. 🎂

Today, we met up with the rest of the adventuring party to conquer the pins at our local bowling alley and consume MORE cake. 🎳🎂

The younger adventurers even arrived in their matching adventure dresses 🩷💜

⚔️ The Merchant’s Recommendation ⚔️

Every adventurer needs somewhere to keep their dice… and perhaps something suitably dramatic to wear while rolling them. 😏

Introducing Lady Houx’s first Adventurer Set — a hand-crocheted hooded shawl with matching drawstring dice bag, made in gorgeous autumnal woodland colours. 🍂🎲

Perfect for D&D sessions, wandering taverns, exploring mysterious forests… or simply looking substantially more mysterious than the situation requires. 🤣

Workshop Wednesday 🧶

A little look behind the scenes at the latest arrival at Houx's Trading Post.

From a ball of variegated yarn to a fully equipped adventurer, this set took around 400g of yarn and approximately 12 hours of crochet to create.

And yes... every single one of those pesky ends was sewn in by hand. 😭

The finished Adventurer's Set is now available in the Trading Post. ⚔️🎲

Meet the Merchants

Every trading post needs its merchants... so it seemed only right we introduced ourselves.

🎲 The DM – Storyteller and world builder.
🏹 The Ranger – Reader, organiser and idea wrangler.
🛡️ The Cleric – Crochet addict and keeper of the Trading Post.
🗡️ The Rogue – 3D printing wizard and miniature painter.

We're four friends who love tabletop gaming, fantasy and creating things we'd be proud to use at our own tables.

The Cleric, the Ranger, the Rogue and the DM walk into a bar...
..we'll let you imagine how that ends. 🍻

🧭 Adventurers' Log 1 – Anglosaxons

Lady Houx dispatched her merchants to the Anglo-Saxon Living History Event in search of inspiration and curious treasures.

We watched warriors clash in honourable (and dishonourable) battle, explored the encampments, and met fellow lovers of history and craftsmanship. ⚔️🪡🪶

Until the next adventure!
