Our July giveaway! All our books feature at least one character with PTSD. Name the character with PTSD in What Once Was Eden. Hint: Sajani has night terrors, not PTSD. First one to post the answer gets one of our books free!
Integrity is not situational—it is eternal. Who we are when no one is watching reflects who we are becoming before God. In a world of shifting standards, be immovable in righteousness.
Yes, my job in the Army allowed me to act as a therapist. I had training for it, plus years of personal study in psychology. As an enlisted soldier in the Unit Ministry Team, with approval from my chaplain, I could counsel for six weeks. The limitation was officially to prevent…
I'm not against the feature in this game. Sometimes you just want to play the game. But I'm not sure "safe word" was the right choice for their audience.

Funny turn to the broken scleral lens story. My brain keeps insisting the contact is in, despite the fact I can't see out of the eye. It's like a reverse phantom feeling. The eye isn't missing, just the lens.

If the bard and the paladin come up with a plan in the middle of the forest and there's no one around to hear them, is it still a bad plan?

My wife got the 3d printer running again today. It wasn't broke, just unused. We're trying a resin from @3DResinUSA. They didn't have specifics for an Elegoo Jupiter, so this will be trial and error, but I'm excited to have a stronger resin.
If I were an artist, I'd do an image of a man and and woman wearing colonial period clothes while hoisting a flag that says, "Fear the People." AI couldn't capture the spirit I'm looking for.
Sticker art by Phoenix Baldwin for our coloring storybook, "Chass and the First Day of School." Chase is not drawn to scale. At the age of five, he would have stood about 5'9", towering over his fellow students.

To me, nothing says Pioneer Day like my famous hot wings. Maybe I should have invited @TerranCore, @VVenerabilis, @SandyofCthulhu, and some others on here from Utah.

The moral of this story is... Have morals. Integrity matters. Gawker died because profit was more important than doing the right thing. We're seeing the story repeat itself daily.
I've died more times in a staff meeting than I did on the battlefield?

Happy Pioneer Day to those of my faith. When the first settlers were still just getting going here in the great state of Ootah in the late 1800s, my great grandfather, Luigi daAngelo Rossi was serving in the Vatican Guard. Here's a picture of his only son.

I spent the last couple days experimenting with the notification feature in some people's profile. Dang. Some of you are on X almost as much as I am. Frightening.
New Terah Steampunk playtest is looking to open in Summit Utah. Reply if you're interested. Terah is a new steampunk ttrpg system based roughly around the d20 system, but designed to give you awesome versatility while avoiding choice paralysis.

No spoiders tonight. Lots of planning, but not enough players. It's normal during the summer in a college town. It'll turn around on a couple weeks.
Getting ready for the store D&D game again. I'll probably give out some spoiders later... Spoilers later... And now I don't need to give out any.

A brief message to those who, like me, have been diagnosed with ADHD: Own your disability. It's not an excuse or a badge of honor. It's just part of you. A brief message to those who have not been diagnosed with ADHD: Stop using my disability as an excuse for your bad actions.
The technology level in Terah is based roughly on Earth's tech in 1968, except since it's mostly powered by steam, tech trends to be at least 3x the size. No one wears a digital watch unless it's part of a prosthetic. 😜 Art by Snow Skadi
