Welcome to the chaos that is my Dungeons & Dragons life. Hard to believe, but I’m a couple of years into this now. What started as “sure, I’ll try this once” has somehow become a core part of my life. It turns out that spending an evening online with friends—rolling dice, making questionable decisions, and laughing until our sides hurt—is its own kind of magic.

Some sessions are wildly productive.
Some devolve into four hours of absolute nonsense.
Both feel equally worthwhile.

Here, I’ll be taking small moments from our sessions—those flashes of character interaction, tension, humor, or heartbreak—and shaping them into short scenes. This is my space to practice writing in different voices, stretch beyond my comfort zone, and learn what works by trying everything, even the things that don’t. Some scenes will land cleanly. Others will crash spectacularly. Either way, the process is its own reward.

A few years in, I’ve learned that D&D isn’t really about perfect strategy or flawless storytelling. It’s about discovery—of characters, of worlds, and sometimes of myself.

So if you’re reading this, welcome.
Settle in.
The adventure is ongoing, the chaos is real, and I’m excited to see where it all leads. Oh, and Mike, if you ever read this? I blame you! It's always the DM's fault!
