Thank you! I'd be lying if I said I got that one right on the first try.... :-D But it was fun to dust off the old iPhone 6 and push record again.

Thank you! It was a labor of love for sure. I didn't really plan on publishing anything because the anxiety was getting to me -- but a couple of nudges from twitter last week (who knew something positive could have come from Twitter these days?) got me going... so we'll see what happens next... I hope everything is going well in your world. :D

Awwwww -- thank you! That really means a lot! I don't know how to add an emoji in my reply -- but imagine the watery-eyes one...That's how I feel reading this.

Well thank you so much! Not sure I'm totally "back" yet -- but it was fun to get behind the camera one more time. I hope everything is going well for you this year, and that you're ready for 2023....

Thank you! It's great to "see" you again :D

Thank you! I.... um.... quick updated.... am no longer a fellow math teacher... It makes me so sad to be out of that club (in some ways) but that job was one thing that was keeping me so unwell. I should probably do an update on my life -- but big changes here including career change. I did manage to make it 10 years, but ultimately I had to step away. But, let me tell you, thank you for sticking with it. This country needs good teachers now more than ever, and I'll do my best to root for change from this side of things. I hope your school year is going great so far!

@@TomTeachesGames Thanks Tom! I am teaching in my church’s homeschool co-op and I have my own tutoring business (that I’ve built over the last 11 years with God’s help) mostly online now through Wyzant. Kudos on getting 10 years teaching in public schools!

Thank you! That's so nice of you to say. It's good to be "back" (we'll see what happens next, definitely taking things slow these days....)

Thanks Danny! It was honestly a-lot-a-bit weird to be back behind the camera... so we'll just have to wait and see what happens next. I hope you're doing well!

Thank you so much! Not totally sure how "back" I am just yet -- but I'm dip of the toe in the water never hurt anyone, right? :D

Thank you! I had lots and lots and lots of various emotions in the last 24 hours... so I'm not totally sure how 'back' I am just yet, but all journeys have to begin somewhere -- right? I hope everything is going great for you these days :D

Well thank you! Not totally sure how "back" I am at this point, but I suppose it's progress that I was able to make a video. So I'm all for celebrating progress!

Thanks Steven! It's always great to hear from you. I hope live has been treating you well :D

Thank you! Not totally sure how ready I am to be "back" -- but I certainly wanted to share this little project. We'll see if this gives me a nudge in the right direction. I hope everything is going well for you!

Well thank you! That's really really nice to read. (Especially since I'm convinced I have the voice of a gremlin.... hahaha) I hope everything is going well for you in your neck of the woods.

Thank you! I'm doing much better than I was -- some really big changes in the last year -- and I still have a ways to go, but I'm glad to be making some progress.

Oh man, I can't figure out how to type an emoji in my replies, but imagine the laugh-cry-rolling emoji, and that's my official response. I don't remember if we talked about this, but it probably won't surprise you to know I did not back Frosthaven... My close friend did though, and I asked him to let me know how he liked it. So we'll see!

@@TomTeachesGames Yeah, you mentioned not having backed it, and, given your (on camera) progress through Gloomhaven, it's a reasonable choice. It looks like Frosthaven has basically the same scenario play (with a few tweaks to improve on problems that emerged with Gloomhaven - such as enemies now being able to move through invisible figures so you can't just block a doorway for a couple of rounds) but significantly ups the complexity of between-scenario stuff (though still nowhere near the complexity of the scenario play). And has at least 50% more content pretty much across the board (same number of character classes though).

Well thanks! Not sure how "back" I am yet -- but I suppose a small step is something! I hope you've been well :D

@@TomTeachesGames Every step is something, take youre time, do wat feels right!

I haven't yet! I really really want to -- one fear I have is that I have literally ZERO experience with anything 3D design... so I feel like would be a pretty expensive venture. My best friend's job is to design 3D prints, so I might be able to talk him into giving me some newb-lessons or something... but I think about that literally all of the time.

Well thank you! The nice words are definitly whelming -- and so nice to read. I hope you're doing well :D

Thank you! We're getting there slowly but surely. I suppose I could do an update video... but, in short: I moved closer to family/friends, I quit teaching, I got a job at a software company, and I'm continuing therapy... So it's all baby steps at this point. But I hope it's all uphill from here! (Because, you know, that's totally how life works... *wink*)

@@TomTeachesGames Wow that is a lot of big changes at once - great to hear they are working for you :D I'm looking forward to the update video ;)

You are literally describing the one-and-only experience I had with cutting foam core. I really tried a project once upon a time but a combination of the bunch up (a FRESH razor helped a little) and the fact that I couldn't cut a PERFECT straight line drove me absolutely bonkers and I had a minor freak out and that's literally when I designed my first paper-storage. So no tips from me, but I really wish I was better at foam core...

@@TomTeachesGames haha, I thought I was the only one! It is very hard to do right, but when it helps me sort and setup a game do much faster, I forgive the crooked lines bits of foam poking up!

Hey! How the heck have you been? It's been a minute.... haha
