ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Con weekend done. Recovery day passed. Back to work.

However I had such a blast cosplaying, fund raising, visiting with special guests ( and playing a oneshot with @springheeledstudios.com go check him out, super cool guy) but check out my game too! #selfpromo

Opened up 4 slots for my chainswords on www.springheeledstudios.com!

Just doing the four, so if you've been needing an MK IV Cadia Assault Chainsword in your life, you too can ensure Cadia Stands!

Seek out Destinationdnd.com and find an adventure worth taking. It's short notice- I know. However, what better adventure to take than a spur-of-the-moment one? I hope to make it over, Paolo and crew provide top notch gaming experiences, and if I can't make this one, I'll be sure to make the next!

A phenomenal friend of mine is holding a Glorious event in New Orleans.
His name? PAOLO GARBANZO! Proprietor of juggling knives AND dice

If you've the will, nay, the courage- mayhap you'll check out his DESTINATION GAME in NOLA.
There's no better place to immerse yourself at a destination event!

Had to pair up the sword with a scythe, of course.

These props are being donated to a high school production of Terry Pratchett's Mort (The Play) in Tennessee!

Stoked to see their stage photos of these-- the strobe lit fight scene is gonna be glorious.

Break legs down there!

When your homie is a high school drama teacher and needs a prop, well, you're a bad former thespian if you don't provide!

Those kids are gonna be stoked.

Gencon was a hit!

Have this quality shot of my front of house crew and the cast of the legendary mainstage show of OOPS! ALL HIMBOS! (Maybe they'll let me be a himbo with them one day.)
