Today’s Post

June 16, 2021

Dear Readers, it’s been a busy week.


My Sunday group, as you all know, recently finished Rime of the Frostmaiden. Nice, if strange and kind of… unfulfilling ending.


My Tuesday group, the Inglorious Ingrates, had a great session last night. We’ll hear about it next week (Player’s Perspective does a summary a week in the rear). Just one word: undead.


And then there is tonight. The players further the story line, out towards an abandoned temple.

It’s going to be a great time.


And I am stuck.


Writing wise, life wise, emotionally, and in just about every other way.


And, as you may have noticed, I haven’t picked up a paint brush in weeks.


I have a new project that I am working on, as you all know, Your Dork Materials.


Why am I telling all of you this? I’m not sure. I’ve really been struggling lately, just to get motivated to do just about anything. Gaming helps, but it is a conundrum, as it helps me cope with life, but it is simultaneously exhausting.


I guess I thought that maybe writing about it would help some as well. And it is, to a degree.


I’m just not sure of what else to do.


Don’t worry, Dear Readers, I’m not going anywhere any time soon. I just needed to vent, I guess.


A big thank you to the following players, represented by their character names:


Arkon, Dacyria, Avery, Mewsie, Gye, Winter, Idris, Hendel, Dell, J’Zargo, and Entir, and everyone at my monthly table (whose character names I haven’t memorized yet as we’ve played all of once!). You guys/gals are a big part of helping me keep on keeping on. Several of you play at other tables of mine (at least one of you is at all three!)


Now for some levity:
