Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Conquest: Sentinel Stand

The Thralls of Leadership
Upon reflection I find the number of times I have found myself in leadership positions to be of note. Whether it's heading up an improvisation troupe, presiding over student and community organizations, entering management in the business world, or leading guilds in...
