I’ll be getting my first chance to publicly share the Dungeons & Dragons character workshop I’ve been, um, workshopping this October, and the convention, hosted by the online group LegendFiction, I’ll be doing it at has asked me to share this message as widely as possible.

I’m Hosting an Event at LegendHaven 2025!
Hey friends! I’m excited to share that I’ll be at LegendHaven, the friendliest fiction convention in the world! You should come! It’s an all-day weekend in October, Sat 18- Sun 19, for authors and story lovers.
I’ll be live on the 18th. I’ll announce my actual timeslot soon.
🐲 What’s LegendHaven?
If you love books, storytelling, and hanging out with the creators behind your favorite characters, you’ve got to join me there. LegendHaven is packed with meetups, AMAs, live chats, contests, and found fellowship.
Think panels, readings, AMAs, exclusive content, fan rewards, raffles, story previews, and author hangouts.
It’s all online, and yes, you don’t even need your camera. You can GIF-reply or chat all day.
🎤 Here’s what I’m hosting at LegendHaven:
As stated, my event is “What’s Your Story, Stranger?” — Lessons for Writing a Better RPG character. And the official blurb I’ve written for it is as follows:
Like many Fantasy adventures, we begin in a tavern. Put yourself in the mindset of an adventurer and as you settle down with your drink, reflect on the moments and history that brought you here.
Based on his experience as an author, RPG player, and GM, Joel Balkovec guides participants through an interactive workshop that will turn a basic character concept into a fleshed-out individual with a full history, backstory, and personality.
By the time you leave the tavern tonight, you’ll be fully equipped with an ideal character.
