My last post is a perfect example of this. Fighting for survival has left me with little time and energy and I've been burning the candle at both ends and a secret third end. I've been so burned out and need so badly to be creative, but food and housing and my kids are kinda important.

I disappeared from a lot of social media and the TTRPG community for a while because I've been in a custody battle for my kids. They were recently ordered by a homophobic judge to move to one of the worst states. Please help by sharing the following links! I appreciate every bit. #queer #queerrights

I'm trying to get together a game I'd really like to release August 1. My brain wouldn't write this morning, then while out driving, "oh here's an awesome new idea you should really write RIGHT NOW." Thanks a lot, brain. Now could we focus on the WIP?

I'm getting back to writing and hope to have a lot of things releasing soon, so dusting this off and jumping back in here! Fingers crossed for August 1 new releases. I never got on here enough to get very connected to the indie TTRPG community here, but want to change that.

Self-depreciating humor isn't funny, & we all know where it comes from. Celebrate yourself & let ppl celebrate with you.

Village Witch is back in stock! 🔗 and more photos below! #indie #ttrpg #SelfPromoSaturday #VillageWitch
