Cool (or should I say hot lol)! I once shared a house with a a friend who grew peppers. They used to make their own pepper-infused jerky. Best tasting jerky ever! 😊

Nice! What led you to focus on peppers?

I’ve made the decision to step away from #ttrpg gaming & it’s not one I’ve taken lightly. But it has decreased some of the pressure in my personal & work life. I’ve loved my time DM/GMing - I’ll miss my games & my players.

Here’s a quick unboxing video for the #Nimble #ttrpg from a #Kickstarter I supported a while back. Faster combat than DnD and 5e compatible, with a 3-action economy from P2e and far less rules 😊
