Meet Serene, a courageous teen battling cancer
Earlier today I came across a gentleman named Ric M. in one of the many buy/sell/trade groups I belong to on Facebook who posted he was considering selling off his collection to raise funds for his daughter’s cancer treatment expenses. His situation hit me link a ton of bricks! I am a parent and a grandparent and I can’t imagine being this guy’s shoes, but I would do the same thing that he is doing without thinking twice.

I have been asked on more than one occasion about the resources out there for the uninitiated online RPG gamer so, this essay will highlight some of the many resources that I have used over the last few years. I will make every effort to highlight the good and bad, the gorgeous and the ugly. In the end, I hope it will all be very useful information for anyone wanting to expand their gaming horizons.
