It's been a while since I've posted, but I've read a lot of good/great books since then. So here are some reviews of the ones I can best remember.

This Swords of the Serpentine adventure's about intrigue in the supply of raw materials to the ship-building yards in Eversink, and it's called DEAD MEN SELL NO SAILS and I'm unreasonably happy about that title.

This past year, while I did fairly well with my goals, I did start to feel the strain of the sheer amount of books meeting my goals would require, versus the amount of books I've been reading (keeping in mind that I also do r/fantasy book bingo, which is a further 25 books that may or may not match up to those goals).

I like DnD, but I don't really like running DnD as a games master. After being underwhelmed by the upcoming changes (many of which are good!) I'm much more excited to try Nimble5e next time I want to run DnD. The backerkit live streams have given me a lot of confidence in the designer!
