1. I decided that no job was going to turn up - having gotten to the last stage interview in no less than seven cases - and have begun working as a freelance consultant instead. This is both an enormous relief, and also going remarkably well. If you, or someone you know, needs a marketing consultant, go have a look at drewshiel.ie. I like small projects, so don't feel yours isn't big or important enough.
2. My newsletter now has merchandise. Check out the Gentle Decline Shop. I think I have about 13 different product lines there, some of which even have colours. Also, people are buying things, which is really a bit weird.
3. I am really enjoying playing D&D right now, both running the game and playing it. There's something about the degree of enthusiasm I see out there about it, as well, from the reception the new Ravenloft book is getting to the ongoing existence of Critical Role to just seeing so much good stuff on the DM's Guild site, which fuels my own feeling on it. I'm fighting off the urge to write a third newsletter about gaming stuff - because I know I don't have enough material to really sustain it, other than "here's what's happening in my campaigns!" and also "let me tell you about my character!", neither of which are long-term discussion subjects. But I do have some thinking, so I might stick that on one of my older but still extant blogs.
