Challenge #4

In your own space, create some goals.


In 2020, I dived into the world of tabletop and roleplaying games headfirst but I haven’t actually played that many yet though, so for 2021, I want to play the games I bought last year.



(that…isn’t all of them…)

I went a little wild on Kickstarter while I was working from home so I will have even more games arriving over the next few months. My goal is to play them all and then blog about the experience here.

I also got into painting miniatures. I’m not actually using them for games, just enjoying the chill times of painting for fun. One of my Christmas presents was a nice paint set for minis so I am committed to it now. I backed the Kickstarter for Sea of Legends and…yeah, that has a LOT of minis so that should keep me busy once it arrives (hopefully February!).



I’m setting my GoodReads goal for 2021 at 50 books. I had a lot of trouble focusing last year, but I am hoping that this will change as the months go on. I have binged a few graphic novels already though so my goal has some padding to start. If I feel like I can read like I was before 2020, I might up that number but 50 seems good to start.



I also want to do a rewatch of my movie collection. It has been awhile since I revisted a lot of those films and many of them I saw in the theater, LOVED, bought the disc…and then never bothered watching again. I want to see if they have withstood the test of time. I’ll try to post about them on here, or at the very least update my Letterboxd on a regular basis.

When I first saw this “challenge”, I didn’t think I would have any goals, but now that I have typed these out, I’m feeling pretty good about the nerdy, fandom part of my soul having plenty to do this year. Do you have any fandom goals for 2021?

Challenge #3: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why?


I would love to get coffee with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. They seem like a hoot. I have adored Kristen since Veronica Mars and I watched every episode of ‘The Good Place’ and I am sad she is not on my TV every week anymore. The two of them are #relationshipgoals and I think it would just be fun to hang out and chat with her about whatever. She has a beautiful way of looking at the world.

Next up, I would to meet up with Rian Johnson in a bar for drinks, because I’d want to loosen his tongue a bit and then get him to explain his vision for the final movie in the sequel trilogy. I’m sure I would have to sign a NDA afterwards, but it would be worth it to just know. I would even pay for the drinks. Something tells me Johnson would just be a fun person to talk to.

Last but not least, I would want to host a HUGE dinner for the Oxtra and Dicebreaker teams. I love watching them interact on streams and even if I was running around filling drinks and serving food and didn’t get to talk, I would love to just listen to them all laughing and talking. Maybe we could even find time for a game together! They are all so down to Earth, I just feel like listening to their opinions on life, the universe and everything would make for a lovely evening.

Oddly enough, I’m struggling to think of an fictional characters I want to hang out with right now. The only one that comes to mind is I would want to get a burger of the day at Bob’s Burgers. But I would sit in a booth and just observe the shenanigans LOL.

In an effort to use this blog more, I'm going to participate in the annual 'Snowflake Challenge' so I post on a regular basis. Hopefully, eventually, I will just make some time for blogging and enjoy the process of getting some of the thoughts constantly rolling around in my head committed to the digital page.

Enter, the Snowflake Challenge (details here)

Challenge #1 In your own space, introduce yourself!



I'm orangerful aka Sam. Librarian by day, nerd 24/7.

If I listed every fandom/obsession I have, we would be here all day, so let's just hit the big ones that will probably give you a pretty well rounded view of who I am:
