Sometimes what looks like laziness or carelessness is actually hopelessness or low self-esteem.

If I believe deep down that my efforts inevitably fail, my goal subconsciously becomes not to complete the actual task, but to do just enough that I won't be shamed for not trying.

I fell in love with roleplaying games in 1997. It was still a niche hobby then, and widely misunderstood.

Today, YouTube's featured playlist is an invitation for the world to explore TTRPGs.

I never expected Dungeons & Dragons to go mainstream, but it has. And I'm overjoyed. I want more people to experience all that the hobby has to offer.

I would love to find a girlfriend who's into TTRPGs, but I'm kind of afraid that we would get into stupid fights about in-character stuff.

“I can't believe you took the kobolds' side. They tried to kill my familiar!”

“Well, maybe if you didn't send him into their lair—”

“Oh, now it's MY FAULT?”

My daughter had the coolest story idea the other day: The victims of the Salem Witch Trials come back as Marvel-style Ghost Riders. I'd read that book.

Tonight, I got to help someone make their first roleplaying game character and play a short scene for the first time. I love doing that, and I want to do it more.

Jesus and his teachings lead us toward mental health; our experiences in the church frequently do not.

It is really refreshing to hear a well-informed, helpful discussion of anxiety in a sermon.

Please check it out, regardless of your spiritual beliefs.

You might think that California — with all its sunshine and progress and "good vibes" — would be safe from the darkness beneath them ancient mountains… but you'd be wrong, family. Dead wrong.

I'm wildly insecure, and I'm trying to make new friends. It's a heck of a process. I'm learning a lot:

-Connection cannot be earned, only offered.
-When you put yourself out there, you don't control the result.
-Turning your offer down isn't the same as personally rejecting you.

My friends and I recently finished a multi-year D&D game set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Ravnica. In celebration, I commissioned art of my character from Anni (look for LorebirdArt), got it printed on stickers by Sticker Ninja, and put it on a tea tin as a gift.

Thanks, Chase!

I highly recommend Miro (https://miro.com) for running #SentinelComicsRPG online. It's great for tracking the scene, passing around boosts and hinders, sharing character sheets, and posting rules reminders.
