This is our sixth year—apparently that’s the Iron Anniversary. I kind of love the idea that it's got a strong foundation. This year's selection is good. My co-founder Jordan and I chose six books, and this year all of you voted on the other six.

My first Glampaign at @dndinacastle.bsky.social went so well last week. #pride, history, and a whole lot of #queer power. It was awesome to #game without any masks and just relish in the joy. Show interest for me to run another one next year!
