An Important Announcement.

Thank you, everyone 💚
A letter to my followers. It reads as thus: Hey, Swamp Kids. After months of consideration, I’ve reached the tough decision to go on an indefinite hiatus from all streaming activity, effective immediately. Unfortunately, with everything else I have going on in my life between working full-time, taking classes part-time, doing what I can to be the best husband and father that I can be, and all my work with Project Open Table, it leaves very little energy or mental well-being to be able to entertain as a Twitch streamer. I don’t wish to end my streaming career with a sour taste in my mouth, so I’m choosing to end it now while I still have a little love for it left. These past three years have been a whirlwind for me as your Suburban Swamp Dad. The opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, be a part of countless memories, and forge friendships that I never would have been able to otherwise are things that I will be eternally grateful for. Words cannot describe my appreciation and gratitude to my Swamp Kids, regardless if you joined me recently or were there from the very beginning. I’m honored to have been given a little bit of your time, and I’ll cherish this time of my life forever. I’ll almost certainly still partake in others’ streams, and my campaigns and one-shots will still continue, but only at the Table channels inside the confines of Project Open Table, where the sessions will be much less catered towards entertaining an audience and more towards crafting a story with my players. I’ll also remain active on BlueSky to throw a little bit of fatherly silliness into your feed from time to time and promote the events and goings-on of Project Open Table, which I’ll be mainly focusing the majority of my internet presence towards continuing to build and grow. Thank you again. All of you. You’ve made a suburban dad from Ohio happier than you could ever hope to know. You’ll always have a seat at your Swamp Dad’s table. With all the love, Gil.

I was talking to my coworker about bug taxidermy and told him how I wanted a "rhinoceros beetle pin-up" before realizing that wasn't what the process was called.

Now I just have an image in my mind of a rhinoceros beetle in lingerie painted on the side of a WWII airplane and it won't leave.

Annual April Fool's Reminder that if your idea of an April Fool's joke is announcing a pregnancy, you're kind of a piece of shit and I won't take questions or criticism.

Pregnancy is sadly an unobtainable goal for some, and to make light of that for internet points is super shitty. Thanks.

Tonight is gonna be strange, running the next continuation of my Blades in the Dark campaign "Strangers in Paradise" without streaming it.

I'll still be running it in one of the Stage channels in Project Open Table, so you can watch if you'd like. It'll just be more chill with no "streamer stuff" 🙂

Just out of pure curiosity and certainly nothing else...

If you could take two or three classes from any TTRPG you've played and combine them to create a single character, which would you choose?

Well, due to issues running the game in a playable state, I'll unfortunately be doing something else for tonight's stream. Still pondering as to what, but keep an eye out for when I post again later to see what I'm up to!

Sorry again! Hopefully a patch or something comes out soon!

Introduced my 3 year-old to the Power Rangers (Yes, Mighty Morphin, calm down).

He's absolutely hooked. Watching him was like watching myself the first time I saw it. Just seeing the awe in his widened eyes and the big goofy smiles as they fought and summoned the Zords...

I just wanted to share a fun fact about snails with my Pathfinder party, then 20 messages later, they're trying to figure out how to make Salt Rounds for the Gunslinger.

I just like sharing fun facts 😞
