Friends, it is with a deep sadness that I must inform you that I may have to close my shop and cancel future endeavors. Tonight my wife put her hands on the 15 yo grandchild in our care and I cannot let that stand. She has been physically and emotionally abusive for years now~

She's left the house & will most likely not be returning. I've told her that I want a divorce. This cannot stand, I will not tolerate the abuse of a child. So if I am spotty in my communications I apologize. I'm doing the best I can in a difficult situation. Love you all dearly

Some people don't deserve players at their table. As a "joke" this is gross. People who want to play the Dragon game will see this and think that their imagination isn't welcome and never play and our community will suffer their loss. Being a DM/GM is a privilege, do better.

Thinking about my motorcycle ride across America idea a lot today. D&D from sea to sea. Create a new character and then take them cross country from home game to home game adventuring with you fine folks. Stream the games and film the rides, make the whole thing a documentary.

Today is really hitting hard. It's okay to still have that love for the person you were in a toxic relationship with. Don't put yourself down, you loved them & that's gonna linger. But you have to love yourself more. You need to prioritize your emotional needs. It gets better 💜

To everyone who ever told you that your dreams weren't worthy. Tell 'em I said Hi.
