Dawn at Sea

The internet.

Perhaps the widest and most dangerous sea of them all. For all the stories told about adventure and exploration in seafaring, real or fantasy, there's always an element of mystery. The greatness of the vast, open ocean. The unknowns of its depths, the hidden isles beyond its horizons. And still nothing can even come close to the wonders found across this thing. Abyssal horrors from the deep can't even compare.

And despite all of the strangeness that may be out there, there comes a time to set sail and venture beyond the known shores, to leave the safe harbor for realms unknown.

At least, that's sure what it feels like.

I've never really been one for blogging. Or public speaking. Or being noticed at all, really. I've always figured it was best to keep my digital (and non-digital) footprint as tiny as possible. Better to go unnoticed than be remembered for failures and misspeakings. Because as we know, things on the internet are never forgotten. They're cataloged. Leaving all those random words out there for the internet to find? It's like my own personal circle of hell.

But the winds of change are blowing. It's come time to remedy this. If I'm going to make an earnest go at this whole writer thing, then maybe it's time to start sharing all these random ramblings. I mean, if everyone else on the internet can claim enough self-importance to tell the wide world their life story, why should I?

So feel free to join me in my journeys and misadventures as I talk (or ramble, or rant, or whatever...) about things. Tabletop games and RPGs, card games and video games, writing and freelancing, successes and failures, and wanderings near and far. There's a wide, wide sea of things to explore, and I'm an opinionated fellow. And knowing the internet, there's a good chance I'll offend someone along the way.

It's alright, though. I'm from Jersey.

We don't like you either.
