How did you get into TTRPGs? My step-cousin's grandmother bought him the Moldvay Basic D&D Set (the B in B/X). We were 13? I think? Bored one summer day. The rest is a history of obsession, dreams of TTRPG designer grandeur, and nerdism of the highest levels.

For our comic to appear in @swordsagainst.bsky.social, Jason Sholtis and I decided to work in the old "Marvel Method" where I wrote a plot, he draws the pages from the plot, then I script it (and letter). I did my own rendition of one of the principles, Hokus, though.
