This week, I donated to a local community pantry and then cried hot tears of anguish and fury at the many ways this country continues to tear down those who are already struggling. I know I'm not saying anything new, but know that if your heart hurts so much right now, you're not alone. ❤️

So this was such a great table to play with at Gamehole Con! We played All's Well, an Old Gods of Appalachia tale by @shannagermain.bsky.social. They got so into the negotiation with the Chester Witch they wrote a song and performed it at the table! Can't beat that kind of engagement!
Gamehole Con 2025 is a WRAP!
Thank you to everyone who visited us in the MCG Lounge for games, drinks, and chats! It's always such a treat to get to experience the wonderful Madison, Wisconsin, and see all the great gamers out here.
See you next year!
