Hey all, Sam here. Okay, well, we are still working on physically recovering from Gen Con, but I think we have enough energy to get this post put together. Actually, David has an easier recovery time than me, because I had to go to work Monday and today, because my department at work is rather… Continue reading Gen Con 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. We are just over a week away from Gen Con, so I think now is a close enough time to talk about my schedule, because I have a lot of fun events planned. I like to do this every year, partly because I get to see if anyone wants to hear… Continue reading Gen Con 2026
Hey all, Sam here. So....my May wrap-up is coming up so late because I've been deep in the trenches of binge-reading. That is absolutely because of the Pride Month reading challenge issued by my co-worker, and I'm not at all complaining about how much I'm reading. It has felt incredible.

I'll have a full post on my goals up at the beginning of the year, but for now I want to focus… Continue reading A TTRPG Inspired TBR for 2026
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, when I started getting to the point of reading 150 or so books a year, I realized it was absolutely awful for me to try and narrow that number of books down into a top ten list for the year. It was then that I decided to split… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (January-June Edition)
Hey all, Sam here. Am I back with another cozy fantasy book review? Well of course I am! Yesterday was this book's birthday, so welcome to the world. I literally read this the day after reading The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong, so one could definitely say that I am in a cozy… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife by Deston J Munden
Hey all, Sam here. I have not had much to say around here when it comes to writing progress. I wish I had a better answer than saying that life keeps getting in the way. But sometimes that's just what it is. I wanted to participate in the Write Brave Challenge and try outlining up… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Writing Update
Hey all, Sam here. Today is the premiere of Critical Role Campaign 4, and I am so very excited to watch it tonight. Trying to get through the rest of the hours until then is going to be a struggle. David and I might play a little more of the current season of Diablo 4… Continue reading September Wrap-Up
