Good time for an intro!
I write ABOUT #ttrpg at Cannibal Halfling Gaming:

And I write games myself - it's statistically likely that there will be a giant robot involved, but it's not *always* the case:

Ever feel like the world is out to get you? It is. Five radical teens with attitude should not be responsible for saving the world. You're a bunch of god-damned teenagers. You might act like you have it all figured out, but you don’t. How could you when there is a literal evil force making your lives harder? So go ahead, seek out some normal high school goals like dominating on the sports field, kissing the mean girl, or becoming class president.

My first corporate convention
When it comes to nerd hobbies, the convention scene is bifurcated. There are local, volunteer-driven cons that put a lot of effort into building content from enthusiasts around the area. There are also the massive, national affairs that bring attention and revenue to their parents. Gaming cons had their start in the latter category, even if the initial efforts were modest; both GenCon and Origins were started by game design outfits, not local fans.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
