This is hilarious. I went to all the trouble to write this post and I managed to not post it before I went in for surgery back in August, 2020. I intended to record a companion podcast episode, but didn’t manage that either. I’m still doing great and slowly improving. I decided to publish this now as these sentiments still hold true. The following is as I should have published it.

Tomorrow I go in for surgery for prostate cancer. My personal plan and desire it to wake up after 4 hours of surgery in discomfort from multiple incisions from laparoscopic robotic surgery. I then plan to take a couple weeks off work and other activities to rest and heal up so I can keep running, playing, and making RPG stuff.

I’m a planner, so I have drafted “My Last Post.” I hope it’s something that will gather dust in my long list of unpublished blog posts and won’t be needed for many years, hopefully decades from now.

I just want you all to know that I have enjoyed the discussions, meeting at conventions, and of course, all the games.

I like being alive and experiencing life, so I will be very disappointed if my run ends so soon. I really want to see how this whole pandemic thing plays out. I also want to get my card game out. I flubbed on the test decks I made. I could have my son make those live, and just live with the results. I failed to overcome the existential and emotional inertia the lock down and news of having cancer hit me with. That’s really my one regret.

I appreciate all of you.

Be nice, love and respect one another, even if you’re different. How boring would RPGs be if there were only one choice for PCs, only one die to roll, only one type of player, and only one RPG.

May the gatekeepers slam their dicks in their gate and lose the key. Remember, their sad rickety gate is easy to just walk around. They are so focused on making you acknowledge their power over this sad gate, that they forget you can just walk around and avoid their nonsense.

Don’t give up the fight for all to have their rights respected and be treated equally. May all those who love to spew hate, choke on it instead and thus fall silent.

I’ll share on social media as soon as I’m able. Until then, no news is good news. Game on!
