Lazy duplicate write-ups continue…  Moving to a new home, travel, planting a garden, and getting settled have taken my time!  Argh!! 🏡🔧🪴✅🙄

(Scroll down to “Bundle Details” if you have no patience for my meandering prose 😆)

Hello all!  OK… let’s see.  First, let me admit that nothing has TAKEN my time… hehe.  I have chosen to apply my time to those things.. and well, I wanted to at least be honest about that. 😉 I am the pilot of my spaceship… or at least the co-pilot… haha. 🚀👽 Although, that admission complete, I will also admit that it is very difficult to sit inside and write game write ups when the weather is gorgeous and I want to be outside.

Sooooo… I guess I have chosen to make less time for write ups… which is painful to admit to myself… but I promise that eventually, I will get back to my side-splitting commentary and banter.  HONEST! Until then, if you’re missing my poetic yarns… shoot me a text and we can chat directly for a minute.  I’m always happy to hear from a fellow Upstart! ☺️❤️

Also, I should note that planting a garden is insanely fun!  Sure, it was also a lot of work and sweat… and bug bites… haha.  But it was SO worth it!  Everything is starting to grow… and I am especially excited to see that the corn and sunflower seeds given to me by one of my favorite LITRPG authors, Terry W. Ervin II, have started to grow!

Random side note… I am a HUGE fan of LITRPG and I am always on the hunt for the latest and greatest in that genre. I played D&D as a teenager and well.. that adventurer storyline still appeals to me a great deal.

<seriously… if this is painful to read… scroll down to see the bundle deets!>

<ohhh… I should grow beets!  Darn you A.D.D.>

Anyhoo… I stumbled across Terry’s “Monsters, Maces and Magic” series a year or two ago and I read every book in the series! SO GOOD!!!

He mentioned something about planting corn in his newsletter and I wrote back and the next thing you know he was sending me some seed samples. The first batch got lost on their way through the mail… so he sent a second batch… all at his cost! He is a wonderful human and I sincerely appreciated that he pressed on with a second batch to try and get them through!!

So for me, seeing those seeds bloom is especially gratifying! 🌱😃

Also, if you’re a fan of LITRPG… check out his series… I promise you.. it will not disappoint!  Here’s a link to his site –> LINK TO TERRY W. ERVIN II WEBSITE <– the books are all available on amazon and are part of Kindle Unlimited. I do not gain anything monetary or otherwise by you clicking that link. I am just super excited by LITRPG and I know it can be hard to find a new author in the genre…

See… I still have some bantering in me!  Hahaha…

OK… OK… moving along… 😉

Bundle details?

This Upstart offering has three options related to the second printing of Foundations of Rome by Arcane Wonders!!

The first bundle is the SUNDROP Foundations of Rome Maximus Edition – with the Gardens of Ceres and Metal First Player Statue tossed in for good effect! Oh, and the upgraded score markers are in there too.. almost forgot that bit. These SUNDROP pieces are AMAZING! Get ’em while they last.. I only started with 5 copies – ach!

The second bundle is the NON-SUNDROP version of Foundations of Rome Maximus Edition… also with the Gardens of Ceres expansion, the Metal First Player Statue, and the upgraded score markers. Again, this second bundle does not have the sundrop wash on the pieces!

The third and final “bundle” is not really a bundle at all.  It is simply a copy of Roads of Fortune. Easy.
