I got into role-playing games (RPGs) when I was 10 years old. In the years since, they’ve served me both as a hobby and a part-time profession. No other form of entertainment has the same capacity for joy, camaraderie, and creativity. Most of the material here focused around Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, as those are my two favorite games.
