October Trading Post!

[solperierat]

Hello, everyone! A little late this month, but Casey here with that monthly trading post the mods mentioned a while ago! I lost track of time a bit, but I've pulled everything together now and we can all get things started! I'd actually like to put it to a vote if people would prefer this...meme? I guess???? Go up at the beginning, middle, or end of the month, so there will be a comment below for people to put in their thoughts on that, as well as sections for trading, projects, and general questions or suggestions for how to make this more useful to everyone! Also a bunch of thanks to the mods for all their hard work on the beastiary and map pages!!!
