Before we start our post for today, I am overjoyed to announce: Rachel and the Many-Splendored Dreamland *** Six years ago, just about this time of the year, a couple of my closest friends decided to start a new roleplaying game. I wasn't really interested. I had young kids. I felt played out. Most of the…
We now have a shop at Zazzle.

For the most part, this is not interesting to me–except for the amusement of her being like Orville–because I don’t speak the language here…but I’ve fallen in love with one of the shows, even without being able to understand it.
