[QUOTE="Cobalt Sages, post: 7875650, member: 6997037"] Yes, thank you for the confidence booster Owen! I had a similar experience at GENCON 2019. I had an opportunity to meet up with Ehn Jolly (too many credits to list), Stephen Rowe (Kobold Press), and Jefferson Jay Thacker (Know Direction show). [LIST] [*]Jolly was so easy to relate to, talk to, and hang out with that we pretty much spent the rest of the con in and out of his aura. I'll tell you, just being near these types of folks grants knowledge. [*]Stephen Rowe was [I]disturbingly[/I] nice (in a good way of course!). He even had the graciousness to ignore my TERRIBAD slip in miss-attributing [I]another work to him[/I], directly to his face mind you, and continuing the amazing politeness and genuinely enjoyable conversation. [*]I didn't get to spend a large amount of time speaking with Jay (aka Perrem), but even as he walked away from a Paizo panel he was kind enough to chat a bit. [/LIST] It's this kind of thing, these types of interactions that told me quickly how open and just... [I]human[/I] all these giants are. They carry a large amount of influence, but the important thing to remember is they are people like you and me. One day they were riding a bike at a young age and talking about their new character, just like me and you. Now, they've invested enough time, energy, and most importantly their [B]passion[/B] into the industry. These things show. [USER=10561]@Owen[/USER], thank you so much for the article. It was a wonderful read, not just for the professional aspect, but for seeing the support and compassion of your spouse for [I]your[/I] passion. That's such an amazing thing to see. It just goes to show that supporting the industry isn't just the content creators or the folks buying books, it's also our support structure. Those who we rely on for moral, emotional, and other forms of support are just as important (if not more!) to remember and thank. [/QUOTE]
