It's been a couple months, working on a way to ramp up into the physical guild and I got some unhappy news: I've been laid off.
The bright side is, my current skill set is becoming a much harder job to find, meaning I'm going to have some free time alongside my unemployment. Ready to learn more?

In order to keep moving forward, I've decided to scale way back, starting with my commission based 3d printing. I'll be setting myself up on @mayhemmarketplace.bsky.social soon, offering a print-on-demand service as well as offering prints that I have on hand. Once I have a good workflow and

The past few weeks have been filled with doubt and setback. I learned that traditional investors will not take a chance if they can't unilaterally recoup every dollar at the drop of a hat. I dream of a place where we can come together to play that will support our employees and community, but until

Just finished a call with a CDFI called Craft3. They said I have more work to do on my financials before I was ready for a lender, and they aren't wrong. When making my plans, I forgot to consider the fact that any lender would want to protect their investment, so a 6 month working capital budget

When I first decided to open a business of my own, a large part of it was due to multiple jobs being so fulfilling to do until the corporate owners decided to bring in new managers. The Adventure's Guild will be modeled in a way that gives every member of staff the opportunity to live the way free

Part of the dream during the next couple years includes collaborations with well known Real Play games and Creators including @criticalrole.bsky.social @dimension20.bsky.social @rollwithdifficulty.bsky.social @rollwithitap.bsky.social @dungeonsanddads.bsky.social @avantris.bsky.social.

Do I think we will discover the next @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social or @aabria.bsky.social or @matthewmercer.bsky.social? No. But we are absolutely going to try. We intend to train to run multiple different systems, D&D, Pathfinder, Fate, Daggerheart, Star Trek, we plan to be ready for any game.

I've also been inspired by the success of @criticalrole.bsky.social. They proved that people today are ready for a dive into an imaginary world. Being a player, I knew that for a lot of us, the pinch point is finding a good DM/GM. That's why we will staff game leaders. We will eventually create an

The story of of Gravity Payments has also been a big inspiration. The CEO who I will not name due to certain allegations, lowered his salary from $1Mil to $70k so he could increase every employee's pay to $70k. This allowed Gravity to make it through Covid's height, and grow exponentially after.

This has been a labor of love, building a business in a way that can be long lived and easily scaled. One of my biggest inspirations is @bobsredmill.bsky.social, in that we believe that by treating our staff almost as co-owners, they will be more inclined to take an active part of shaping the future

Guild Membership starts at a free level. Membership gives you a discount on pre-printed products, dice, and our monthly charity drive pins. Higher levels get a bigger discount, and earlier access to scheduling for upcoming planned events, as well as first choice at seats for daily one shots.

We will start out by offering one shot game sessions daily, as well as 3D prints from toys to brackets. Free members and above can request prints of custom files, and eventually will be able to commission a designer to create your own custom objects.
