Red background with snowflakes. The Take This sword and shield logo is at the top of the image. Below that, text reads Holiday Gift Guide. Below that is a picture of three leather arm cuffs with cartographic illustrations on them in a blue snowflake frame. A red striped background. In the center of the image is the cover of Gardens of Fog, a Take This adventure for D&D. Text on the cover reads: a dear friend lies stricken, a prisoner in their own mind. Local healers are baffled, unable to provide aid, and without intervention your companion is surely lost. Steel yourself, enter the real of the mind and face the struggles within. A Tier 1 adventure optimized for five third level characters. Lead designer Bill Benham. Additional designers Raffael Boccamazzo, Hannah Rose. Editor Hannah Rose. Art director and graphic designer: Rich Lescouflair. Red background with white snowflakes. Two pictures are featured. The top one is of Several Pirate Cove candles from Dragon's Den Candles. The bottom one is of a variety of mostly coffee related products from Many Worlds Tavern including three bags of coffee beans, a box of instant coffee packets, two thermoses, a dice tray with golden polyhedral dice scattered in it, and a cute cat pin. A red border with a red, green, and blue striped background reminiscent of old fashioned simple wrapping paper. At the top, text reads Cheese of Burden. Below that are the My Nerd Life and Take This logos as well as a green starburst that reads $45. The lower two thirds of the image are taken up by a black long sleeved crew neck shirt. The design of the shirt shows a seated grizzled man with a beard, fur cape, and a shocked and dismayed expression on his face while he holds a tottering stack of cheese wheels. At the very top, the take this logo is shown above the word Overencumbered. Down the left side of the design is Japanese which translates to Let's carry the cheese together. At the bottom of the shirt, small text reads Take This is here to help carry some of that load.

Background image of a large convention center with people playing tabletop games. Text reads Giving Tuesday. $5,000 giving Tuesday match. As my health deteriorated, continuing in volunteer roles became harder and harder. What makes volunteering with Take This so important to me is that they allow the accommodations I need. I can contribute without pushing beyond my physical limits. Being able to return to this space in a way that respects my health is empowering and reconnects me with a part of my life I deeply missed.
