    Furfare 2025 – Con Ops Banner

    Carolina Furfare: Medieval in the Mountains finally happened this year, after being delayed by Hurricane Helene last year, and now I can share the work that I did!

    This was the banner I created for Con Ops. Since we didn’t have a Fursona-level supporter to put in this spot, I created it with the convention’s mascots, Petal and Aster. For the medieval theme, Aster dressed up as a prince, and Petal chose the knight captain of the royal guard.

    The banner from above, but photographed in its usage space - it's printed 6ft tall and mounted on a freestanding banner stand.
    The banner as printed and set up in the convention space.

    Since con ops is the nerve center of the convention, when the event is live, I had Petal and Aster in a war room of sorts, planning troop movement – except the map is the convention center layout, and the meeples represent staff!

    We have:

    An orange anteater meeple, bearing a shield and with serious shaped eye spotsorange anteater security staff in a “come at me bro” pose,

    and at the very bottom, our Guest of Honor Nicnak044

    A green cat meeple, holding a lute and singing. as a green cat bard – which she often fursuits as at medieval themed events.

    Eduardo True – Level 17 Cleric of Astilabor

    My kobold, released from the planar diffraction that was having him respawn in endless varieties, is a level 17 cleric. He’s wearing an awakened ornament from a time dragon’s hoard, which grants him flight, and an infectious measure of sober fearlessness for his friends.

    He’s not actually likely fighting in the skies above(?) Sigil, but it felt like a great backdrop for this scene.

  • A Hero’s Reward

    A Hero’s Reward

    Y’all remember my D&D bunny, Pazumin, right? After a harrowing journey across Icewind Dale, he finally rescued his celestial kitsune girlfriend, Kiyomi, from the clutches of the BBEG of this arc, and they retired to a shared room at the inn for a happy reunion and a much needed long rest.

    Considering they had been up for two days straight, fighting a massive battle with the BBEG, and his minions, and his out of control boss monster, during which they were at one point fighting each other thanks to some mind control…..this probably was not the FIRST night, which was probably just a pile of exhausted bunny and kitsune snoring up a storm. But undoubtedly a regular scene.

    (yes, she has bunny-monogrammed underwear, she’s a clothing designer & tailor in her day job, she can do that)

  • Eduardo 1: Stranded Wildspace Merchant

    Eduardo 1: Stranded Wildspace Merchant

    Eduardo 1, the first incarnation of Eduardo! In this version, he’s a dohwar artificer – a merchant from Wildspace and the Astral Sea, who after a deal with some githyanki went bad, escaped via a shipboard teleportation circle….only to find himself stranded on the “backwater” world of Toril, without a way home.

    That hasn’t kept him from using his knowledge of a peculiar magic called “science” to build his own equipment for adventuring and making a living, however….

  • Eduardo 2: Twilight Cleric of Astilabor

    Eduardo 2: Twilight Cleric of Astilabor

    Would you like to make a donation to the church of Astilabor? Every gold piece or valuable trinket goes toward the work of increasing the wealth of her and her followers’ hoards!

    Variant 2 of Eduardo is a little kobold!

    Astilabor, according to Forgotten Realms Wiki, is the draconic god of wealth in the D&D multiverse, and it’s said she is responsible for dragons’ natural tendencies to build hoards. She’s treated more like a folk deity or superstition than one of the pantheon in her own right – her rituals and stamps often adorn hoards as a matter of protective luck. Eduardo though, is a dedicated cleric – wealth is the source of all good in the universe, and he’s out to make sure merchants earn a living, and everyone keeps their belongings properly secure.

    Righting wrongs isn’t about doing good, it’s just that evil tends to cheat, or at least operate in the spirit of cheating – and he won’t have red in the multiverse’s ledger. Foes who would try to lure him with greed will readily discover that approach doesn’t work – treasure left out is treasure unsecured, and he will immediately try to find its owner to advise them on better security measures for their hoard.

    Eduardo 3: Pirate Captain of the Flying Porcine

    According to his stories, this ship used to sail the Astral Sea! Lately, seems more bound to the oceans of Toril, though. But best ye be handing over that treasure now, either way…
