Lotta strength to speak to all you have overcome. You’re helping others by sharing as well. Can’t wait to see where your journey takes you.

Nightime reading after running my weekly LGS GreyHawk game. I made some minor adjustments to the Heroes ..boxed set for this table of veteran diceslingers. Listening to the Vikes/Bolts game too.

Your peers can make "bad art" by your judgment and that's fine. Maybe your art is bad by their judgment too.

But the moment you start pooping on them when they've done nothing but exist, you're the asshole. And when they find out, because they will, congrats. You've set your own bridges on fire.

Could cards similar to those provided in Dungeon Master Essentials Kit serve a similar purpose? Maybe index cards with each characters name that are ‘turned in’ when they have gone?

After running Grim Hollow events at GameHoleCon I can’t wait to present more! For my own sake, I must not overdo it. I might scare myself away from the tables!! Lol! #dnd #ghostfire #GrimHollow

Every corner of Etharis embodies a different style of horror & intrigue! It's such a fun playground to create sinister D&D adventures.

Gameholecon 2025, Day 2. Ran Doom of the Crystal Forge for Wardens of the Eastern Marches. No pics of our mental health panel. Networked with a colleague. Met up with @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social crew for dinner. Chatted briefly with my RPG hero @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social . All is right now.

Participated in game demos at Omaha’s AfroCon 2025! Refreshed on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Dice Masters, learned Forest Shuffle and Burger Battle! No D&D Starter Set takers, but fun was had. Learned from the ALCU; PoC creative experiences were spotlighted in many insightful and uplifting ways!

I say my three thank you’s: to my mother, the Lord Buddha and my sobriety. Exercise every day for at least 35 minutes. At night I go over my gratitude list for the day. Repeat. Keeps me in a positive state of mind most of the time.
