BALDUR'S GATE III

I've been playing Baldur's Gate III for the past week and I am utterly obsessed. Gaming is something I've never had much of a chance to get seriously into until lately, and I'm really excited to have the time to try out some new things.

My avatar, also a trans man, also called Juniper.

I've been sorely missing playing D&D, but I've had pretty poor luck with D&D groups so far (not sure why polyamorous divorce seems to be a recurring theme in my RP groups but I guess there's an overlap between people who enjoy group drama and people who are prone to Group Drama), and I haven't really felt like taking the leap since losing touch with my last party.

Catch you around, dreamers!!

I've spent countless weeks hunched in front of sketchbooks, word documents, video games, and what-have-you, all while the sense of I should be doing something more productive than this gnaws at my guts.  The good news is, I'm getting there.
