I was on CTH but missed the discord (thank heavens, I hate trying to use that thing) but heard about chapo.chat elsewhere on Reddit. So I’ve been here since almost the beginning.

I like tabletop gaming, both rpg and board/card games. I’m in a DnD campaign now and playing a bard for the first time, which is fun. Some favorite board games are: King’s Dilemma, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Clank, The Captain is Dead: Dangerous Planet, Furnace, Spyfall, Azul: Summer Pavillion, Eclipse, Dune: Imperium, and many more.

I like needlecrafts. Primarily I crochet and embroider. I learned how to knit, but I can never remember how to cast on or cast off and have to relearn it each time, and that got annoying. Also, crochet is more forgiving because you can’t drop stitches and end up with a hole in your work. My project now is to finally get around to making a dice bag for my current DnD character.

I like music. I love to sing, but my voice pretty average–I’m in the “valued member of choir” range, not the soloist range. But I sing a lot for pleasure, while doing chores or driving, that kind of thing. My favorite music to sing around the house is folk music, since it still sounds like music unaccompanied and it’s fun to sing. I also have a good memory for music–it’s just about the only thing I can remember–so it’s fun to sing a story in 20 verses. Jean Ritchie is my favorite folk singer.

I like it when you guys make me laugh, make me think, and help me blow off steam.
