Wanna play a game?
Looking back on my first year in the tabletop game hobby, it was interesting experience-even it was more on the virtual side. I was able to play a couple of sessions of a Dungeons and Dragons adventure, played a Call of Cthulhu one-shot, and joined some fun discord servers where I got to meet some fun people! Shout out to the people I've talked too-you know who you are ☺.

In the distance I hear someone shout "KUBLA" and the other people shout "COOOON!!!"
I even discovered a local tabletop game convention near me and was able to attend for a day. I got to paint my first miniature (albeit very badly), buy TTRPG books from Three Dog Quest/Indie Press Revolution, demo games such as Cyber Pet Quest and Burn the Witch that funded on Kickstarter, buy a d6 dice set (which I later discovered glows in the dark), and got myself a dice mat! Oh, and I got a collectible pin too-I believe the proceeds went to charity.

What's Next?
I do have some goals for the new year which include:
- GM a TeaTime Adventures one-shot or a Call of Cthulhu one-shot (I should really dig into the starter set I got from humble bundle last year...)
- I'd love to practice my skills for in-person gaming too. My long term goal is to become confident enough to be able to host a game either at ttrpg conventions or be able to DM a ttrpg game for a library program.
- Visit Gamescape SF in the city
and use that 10% off coupon I got from KublaCon. - Start blogging my TTRPG game experiences, thoughts on TTRPG books/TTRPG podcasts I've been reading/listening too, and write consistent blog posts.
