Sun Tzu: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

MAGFest was an awesome time. Very rejuvenating to hear how excited people are for Chronicler.

Once we survive the MAGFest showcase I'm diving into these beautiful books for the first time. I love the movie a lot and know of the comics but now I get to read them!

One of the best birthday gifts I've ever received.

I finally got BG3 and it is indeed wonderful. However I am not a rogue and I apologize to the rogue community for being a fraud.

I will be returning to the tank community where I belong with Level 1 Human Fighter:

Red-tailed hawk and I have Animorphs to thank for introducing me. They're such beautiful birds and make great falconry companions.

I painted these for the MAGFest Indie Tabletop Showcase last year. We did a "3D board" for a game I was developing.

Sometimes I get riled up and post about contentious topics. But it's my corner of the internet and I'll do what I want with it.

For a cleanse, though, here are my girls Moonpie (left) and her sister Muffin (right).

I owe so much to the 3 guys pictured here and the 2 family members not pictured.

This was the real debut of Rule Zero Media at the MAGFest tabletop showcase last year. So much has happened since and so much more to come!
