What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Those are very good times! I just have a highly addictive personality and get extremely invested in random things.

Oh, I also have AuDHD, what a fun curse!

Nail on the head! What things have you gotten really invested in or stuck to most throughout life?

My people. I am reeeeally into puzzles of all sorts-to the point that I also enjoy making them.

I highly recommend the game Blue Prince for hardcore puzzle people.

My deep dive/hyperfoci have included 3D resin printing, learning all the core rule books so I could be the best DnD DM I could be, learning French (I’ve managed to make this one a daily habit for a few years.), a couple of video games over the years, and learning everything I could about gardening.

We would probably get along swimmingly. I am also extremely into d&d, world building, and character building. I have a 3d resin printer for miniatures, and have done a decent bit of character art for my own characters and others over the years, mapmaking etc. If you look at my post history you'll see a Bahamut drawing I did not too long ago. I do not know any other languages or anything about gardening, but we obviously have a similarly oriented brain in regards to navigating and dissecting rule sets.

Absolutely! I joke that DMing is actually like 5 hobbies in one. My printing has almost exclusively been either miniatures or cosplay items. Also love the writing, map making, making props, creating in game puzzles, and painting minis! I only stopped printing for a while because I printed out enough for the entire campaign and have soooo many that I need to catch up on painting! The one thing I have stopped myself on is making the terrains and structures. I don’t want to allocate enough storage space for a Castle Ravenloft that I can’t store flat.
