I do character builds for RPGs on my YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@DnDDeepDive, but I’m also a happy husband and father who loves games, books, music, mountains, food, and travel.
Ok so, I know I’m late to the game but, I just finished Expedition 33 (Clair Obscur) and… I need to process. Is there an online support group? Maybe a therapist? So hauntingly beautiful and awe-inspiring. Perfection. One of the greatest games of all time.

I don’t know what’s more surprising: that you can still *buy* Necco Wafers anywhere in the world, or that, presumably, a group of people would pay two dollars and fifty nine cents of their hard earned money to buy them. I mean, maybe if *you* paid *me*?
Yeah, still no.
Yeah, still no.

Here's something I'm pretty excited about: I've been working with Fantasy Scents to design a custom candle we're calling "Welcome Home" AND a custom soap that has a full set of dice locked inside :). They smell *amazing* and I love them. Interested? Check 'em out! fantasy-scents.com/pages/d4-d-d...

PAX:U schedule! Friday from Noon to 3pm I'm in the Betsy Ross Boardroom at the Hampton. Private event but I'll be there before and after if anyone wants to stop by. Sunday at noon I'll be doing a Daggerheart one-shot set in Drakkenheim with the @dungeondudes.bsky.social and friends! Kelpie Theater.

I’ve had access to the digital version of the new DnD Faerûn books for weeks now, but nothing compares to ink and paper. The feel… the smell… I just can’t get as lost in it all looking at a screen like I can holding it in my hands…

The only thing better than singing along with your girls while watching K-Pop Demon Hunters is singing along with your girls while watching K-Pop Demon Hunters on the big screen AND a packed theater of others who are doing the same.

Could we build a D&D character who just made *one single attack* in combat that was... effective? What if it was an unarmed strike? youtu.be/mg_3mTuEdK4

Ok, the Single-class build videos are doing great, but I don't want people to get burned out. This week I'm taking a break from that series; would you rather see me alternate between the Single-class series and other stuff or just stick to the Single-class builds until we get through all of them?

So, I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl book 7, put it down, walked over to my book shelf and grabbed book 1 and immediately just started rereading the series.
Is this… is this a problem?
