Welcome Fellow Adventurers!
Hello new friends! I am Bitzy the Bard and I believe we are all adventurers on this journey of life. In my many years in this realm, I have written tales I would humbly like to share with you.
I love to play board games and role-playing games with science-fiction and fantasy themes. I hope these stories will inspire you through advice, reviews, and crafts about life and this hobby.
