2023 in Review! (Patreon)

Man, I thought I'd have 10 or 12 major moments from the year to highlight, but as I scrolled through my camera roll, it just kept going and going! Years feel so short when you're living them, but so long when you're looking back. ANYWAY! Here's a quick recap on all the stuff that went on this year!

• I changed my hair! I have some regrets, but it was cute for a little while there.
• I donned a beard for the first (and second) time in 2023 for April Fools with the Dungeon Dudes
• I ran a D&D game for my parents
• I got to shoot photos with a bunch of cute animals to promote the Denver Animal Shelter
• I cosplayed and sang as archfey Diadne Bluemoon for Borough Bound
• I hit 500k subs on YouTube and celebrated with some Bardic Inspiration
• Mite Bloodstink the goblin boss instantly became everyone's favorite NPC
• I was interviewed by Colorado Public Radio
• Baldur's Gate 3 sponsored my "Weeping Dawn" music video

It is an unfortunate habit of my brain to underestimate my own accomplishments, so it's always eye-opening to look back at what I did in a year and find that it was pretty impressive! I'm so proud of so many of the things on this list, and grateful for the opportunities I was granted in 2023. It has me hopeful about what's on the horizon!

Thanks for coming along for the ride, even through the bumps. 💙 The unwavering support and kindness that you guys show me here is very much what keeps me going, even when other areas of the internet threaten my sanity. Let's see what 2024 holds together!
