#introduction I'm a white hetero cis-male that lives in the USA.
Using Emacs, I write software, TTRPG session reports, short essays, documentation, open letters, and sometimes a bit of poetry.
Most of the non-software writing is on [my personal writing](https://takeonrules.com). I also tend to charter up working groups in the FOSS [Samvera](https://samvera.org) project.

I just wrapped up a One Ring Strider session that felt very much like one of those face to face sessions where everyone leaves the table saying "Hot damn, that's why I play these games." This session actually had many of the same feelings I've had when playing around the table with friends.
It's a long post and I hope it reads as well as it played:
