Wow - I love Cheap Trick, and those are some excellent covers! I went down the rabbit hole of listening to other FOCR songs - strong songwriting and performances with attitude. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your personal D&D origin story & journal entries from childhood, Matt! Your mom was obviously one of the coolest ever.
Oh, and btw, you've now ruined me - I'll be listening to "Gollum's Christmas" every single holiday season from now on!

Very cool!!
I still have my copy of the basic rules somewhere, from 1980.
This was awesome, Matt. As one of the stewards of the Mortified franchise, it is my obligation to ask for more of your sixth grade journals!
That's the version of D&D I started with too, wild to see it again! Merry Xmas!
Merry Xmas!
