Hey all, Sam here. Okay, let's try this again. I had ideas and plans for getting back into writing and getting back into blogging, and feeling like the old me again. But not even two weeks into the new year and my father-in-law was in the ICU and it wasn't looking good, and then a… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Back To Basics (and Prompts)

Welcome to the Free State of Geek!
Hey all, Sam here. Sorry for the silence the past couple weeks. Had some conversations that led to sort of a depressive funk. Coming out of that was a little bit of a process, but it led to the realization that it was time to formalize some changes that we had been planning on for… Continue reading Welcome to the Free State of Geek!
Goals for 2023
Hey all, Sam here. Okay, so I guess today is going to be sort of a shorter post compared to my last ones. But I think it's important to take some time to at least have a rough plan or idea for the year ahead, so I'm going to do that now. Reading For reading,… Continue reading Goals for 2023
Weekend Writer: Tools and Prompts
Hey all, Sam here. Here we are at the first official Weekend Writer post! Oh boy, I am both excited and very nervous about this.

NetGalley Review: Slaying the Dragon: A Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons by Ben Riggs
Hey all, Sam here. Well, what do you know, I actually have a review for a book BEFORE its release date. I'm really trying to do better; hopefully it sticks. Because, overall, I actually do miss working on this blog. It was such a big part of my life for a number of years, and… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Slaying the Dragon: A Secret History of Dungeons & Dragons by Ben Riggs
Life Updates
Hey all....Sam here. Wow, it kind of feels weird to open with my actual name instead of the pen name I've used online for something like 18 years. But I've done a lot of thinking about it and I'm going to write as myself online from now on. So, I have updated my Twitter and… Continue reading Life Updates
Let’s Talk Wedding and Honeymoon
Hey all, Dani here. Look at this, four days in a row of having posts up. I think the only reason I'm being this consistent is because I'm catching up on the past few months of events. I think I'm going to start off with my blog schedule for 2022 being that I want to… Continue reading Let’s Talk Wedding and Honeymoon
September Book Haul and OwlCrate Unboxing
Hey all, Dani here. I had originally thought about keeping up with at least my book hauls each month, but with manufacturing and shipping delays, I started running into my OwlCrates coming either at the very last minute or not until the following month. Speaking of...the December OwlCrate isn't expected to ship until something like… Continue reading September Book Haul and OwlCrate Unboxing
August Reading Wrap-Up
Hey all, Dani here. So...I disappeared again...sorry. I was so proud of my 36 day blogging streak too. I don't know, my bank of fully written and scheduled posts got smaller and smaller and then the day I was supposed to write the next few posts came and I just wasn't in the mood to… Continue reading August Reading Wrap-Up
D&D Review: Roll & Play: The Game Master’s Fantasy Toolkit by Sam Bartlett
Hey all, Dani here. You know, when I planned today's book review, I wasn't originally thinking about the fact that it is a Dungeons & Dragons based review, which is silly, because I bought the book to be used by myself and our group's other Dungeon Masters for session planning. But, I guess this does… Continue reading D&D Review: Roll & Play: The Game Master’s Fantasy Toolkit by Sam Bartlett
