PAX Unplugged! (Patreon)

We head home tomorrow from Philadelphia, where we just finished PAX Unplugged! I’m still building my convention stamina back up, so I definitely feel like I could’ve done a lot more, but what we did do was wonderful. I got to meet some folks I’ve so far only known online, made some new friends, got to host the Q&A panel for the McElroy brothers, participated in a great panel about TTRPG music, and of course we reconnected with our GenCon besties: the Dungeon Dudes and their partners! 🥰

I’ve been feeling super burnt out and exhausted lately, and while I definitely need the rest and downtime that the holidays will offer me, it was also really impactful to get to connect with other creators and talk shop, share our fears and hopes, compare ideas and solutions, and just generally feel understood and heard. I have so many new ideas and strategies and perspectives I want to take into my work next year.

For those of you I got to meet — thank you for stopping to say hi!! It always means so much to get to look into the eyes of a real human person who finds my work inspiring, entertaining, or instructional. ❤️
