RE: From Gamer to Gardener: Part 1
Interesting construction - looking forward to seeing your "harvest" ;)
But why don't you tell us about your gaming group, what do you play?

Thanks muscara! It's pretty impressive. I'm excited to show everybody. I meant to include information on the gaming as well, but figured I'd put it in a later one. I guess it would have made more sense to do that in the first one.
I have been following/funding indie developers for some time, hoping that we can push forward the types of games that will truly change the gaming scene. I followed Star Citizen since its Kickstarter and am heavily invested in that. I joined a large organization and ended up making a lot of friends, so every now and then we delve into exciting projects that pop up.
One of the members from my Star Citizen organization pointed me towards Chronicles of Elyria when it was in its Kickstarter, and though I didn't back the game then, I passively followed it for a few years, and took another look at it in Fall of 2017. The developers were running a community event for the nobility in the last kingdom on the NA-East server. I ran my own campaign, interviewed and debated, and people raised over $5000 to buy tokens and make me a Duke in the Kingdom.
Since then, I've been growing our small community and we now have about 200-300 members. It has quickly become my sole focus. We've held our own seminars teaching people about the game and even launched our own business contest, where we helped contestants design businesses for the game. The finalists each had 10+ page business plans.
It's been crazy, but I love it! A good community can really make or break a game. Which is why I am so excited for projects like Steem Monsters. The Steemit community is fantastic!
