The dumpster fire that is our country has me spending more time thinking about self-care. How can I care for myself so I don’t burn out or blow up? What do you do? I’m going to try limiting my exposure…
My day started a little later than usual. I was up late (for me, anyway) playing D&D with a new group. It was a very lively game full of fun, but we also defeated the bad construct. Once I got…
Over the last few years, I’ve taken to backing crowdfunding projects, especially those that are RPG-related. I don’t recall how I came across the Deck of Many Insults by Loke Battle Mats on BackerKit, but I backed it. The product…
