YOU GUYS.

I am so happy right now, HOLY CRAP.

Okay...here's the thing. You might know my family loves games, and it's lovely that people are always sending us games to the #MagicPorch. @RocketSpouse and I met playing D&D and we recently fell in love with RPGS again, especially during quarantine.

And you know people send stuff to the #MagicPorch, sometimes little personal things like a comic or a craft, sometimes big things like a sword or an Oculus or a PAINTING most recently.

So, you may remember a few months ago, when I said I needed dice.

And the wonderful people at @WyrmwoodGaming sent one of the most amazing care packages ever...

This was a few months ago, but it was a STUNNING box of high end and beautifully crafted RPG accessories.

First, two sets of astounding dice in raised ebony and ruby quartz...you have to see these to believe them.

AND they sent a Bocote dice vault, the same kind Jester uses when playing @CriticalRole, I am told.

And they topped it off with a Macassar Ebony dice tray, that...words don't do it justice. This stuff is IMMACULATE.

@WyrmwoodGaming

Okay, that's already bananas. I mean, they just sent it, didn't ask anything in return except that they hoped I would enjoy it.

WHICH I HAVE and every time I play an RPG I take all this stuff and it's like driving a Rolls Royce to Wendy's. :)

I really cherish it.

Hang on.

Also, I was wrong about the dark dice, they are raised OBSIDIAN, not raised ebony, sorry.

Okay. Here's where things get zoomed up eighty notches.

Okay, so Tuesday was a bad day, right? The dog genuinely unplugged the power to our phone and we missed a bunch of important calls. Then I locked myself out of my computer and @warcabbitMWM kindly spent FIVE HOURS showing me how to fix it (THANK YOU!).

Bad day. BUT WEDNESDAY.

So, I love the @WyrmwoodGaming crew, I love how much they care, and how passionate they are about making things not just good, but PERFECT. They guarantee everything forever, they just really, truly care, and I find that lovely.

I'm addicted to their web series, too.

It's called WYRM LIFE and it's fun and funny, but again, I just marvel at the care and craftsmanship. You should watch.

So, they make dice accessories, but they also make gaming furniture, and other bigger things.

Right now, they have raised their game entirely, they have created a series of modular gaming tables, from smaller coffee tables, to huge dining tables, all beautiful, from a variety of woods, from common to rare.

It's already the 12th most successful kickstarter EVER.

This sounds like a commercial, but the truth is, it just really makes me happy to know their are still people like that all over the gaming community.

Here's the kickstarter...take a look, it's amazing.

So Tuesday was a bad day. Wednesday morning I wake up crabby. And I have a DM from @ChrisGGates.

Of @WyrmwoodGaming.

I have never spoken with him before.

And he says, "Hey, Gail, we would like to send you a thing from our latest kickstarter.

If you like, take a look and tell us what size and wood you want."

Wait.

What?

Wait.

WHAT?

I had to ask several times to make sure I understood this.

So I am getting a @WyrmwoodGaming table.

And I'm sorry, but it is #^$ing GORGEOUS.

HOW DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN.

Okay, there are two sizes of coffee tables and three sizes of dining tables. The cool thing is, with conversion kits, you can change the size of your table as your needs change.

Seriously, take a look at the short video on the kickstarter to get an idea of the craftsmanship and variety of options.

It's like having a table from the SHIRE, I swear.

There are all sorts of cool accessories, but the leaves come off to have a beautiful huge gaming surface. There is a magnetic track so you can put in all sorts of incredible accessories.

Ack. It's just unbelievable.

Anyway, for those still listening...

I chose the medium dining table, which seats six.

In black walnut with the black walnut leaves and the charcoal gaming surface.

Black walnut!

I am having some trouble getting photos from the Kickstarter page.

But it’s beautiful. The leaves come off, and it’s a gorgeous pristine gaming field with customizable options like felt and battle mats and acrylic covers, just for gaming.

Anyway, there IS a point to all of this beyond me freaking out.

It’s this.

Sometimes Tuesday sucks.

And sometimes Wednesday rocks.

:)

Thank you, @WyrmwoodGaming, I will cherish it and SLAY MANY KOBOLDS with this!

Ps. The weird thing is, they couldn’t possibly know this, but I have been wanting a gaming table since before there really WERE gaming tables, and to have it also be a beautiful dining table, that;s just...Providence? Incredible good fortune?

I don’t know.

But someday you’re all invited and we’ll playing 140,000 half-orcs!

Pps! A reader kindly got photos...this is what the table looks like...man, it’s purity!
