D&D In a Castle
🕑 Added 2022-03-31 16:26:32 +0000 UTCHELLO FRIENDS! I'm back in the states and thrilled to be able to plug everything directly into outlets again, but already feeling melancholy after my amazing experience at D&D in a Castle last week!
For those of you who missed it (I didn't really make any big announcement or anything), I was a "celebrity DM" at this event, in which a bunch of people stay in a castle in England (Lumley Castle, in County Durham, which has been converted into a luxury hotel) and play D&D nonstop for three days.
Being grouped with all the incredible pro DMs at this event was a wild experience for me, someone who had, before this week, only DMed for personal friends. Thankfully my table was the absolute most incredible group of wholesome, kind, generous people who were all 100% dedicated to making sure we all had a wonderful time. I was (naturally) very anxious going into this, but I can't imagine a better or more supportive table to be by my side through that feeling!
We played D&D for about 8 hours a day, and when I wasn't frantically prepping in between sessions, we also got to do some fun activities like archery, axe throwing, and falconry, which is where I met that absolutely adorable bundle of feathers that is Heidie the barn owl (oh god, do I want to play a ranger now???)
Josh came along and filmed the entire time, so once I've sorted through all that footage, there will be a full video about the experience. Meanwhile, I know it's the end of the month and I have once again been out of town for the tail end of it, so you can expect some catch-up Patreon reward posts over the next few days! Thank you as always for your patience with my attempts to fulfill regular monthly rewards while working a job that has absolutely no regularity to it, haha.

Oof! Is it too late for you to reschedule? =( My brother managed to reschedule mine and his, but we decided on September to be on the safe side, but we also would’ve picked March if we’d known that Ginny and Guy would be there! On the upside, it meant that I got to attend Wales Comicon this weekend, so swings and roundabouts! ^-^

Quite a treat to visit a traditional castle in England. And they let you put on the glove and hold the owl? That's more accommodating then they are at zoos. Very cool.

Oh man, I've been thinking of going there for a while, but covid travel stuff got in the way of my plans and I never rescheduled. I would have totally picked last week if I new you were gonna be DMing :D
