Additional Update

Building off my previous update...

I have recently been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and had additional testing to confirm I also have ADHD.

The reason this is important, is because I have to manage myself and my time. Otherwise, I can easily become overstimulated or over stressed. Recovery for an autistic individual is lengthy. So, working toward Charity goals is up in the air. I'm not sure I can feasibly pursue them.

Managing my personal life is my top priority. Lately, that has been difficult because of finances. As many people know, the economy has not been kind. I have spent a lot of my personal money on this organization. I used all my own funds to get it off the ground. Sometimes I pay for things out of my own pocket. That is no longer possible. While I have reduced the amount of personal money I put into the organization, I still have expenses that come with running it.

Basically, when I am doing well, it is easier to grow the charity because I have the time, funds, and health to do so. But this year has not been great, so my efforts need to condense into my own wellbeing. If I can find personal and financial improvement, I will be able to invest into the charity again.

This doesn't mean the charity won't exist. I will still use funds appropriately. I will buy/deliver games. I just can't organize events and do all the steps to expand like I wanted to. Not yet.

For the Legacy Adventure, I have decided to stop due to several factors.

I don't feed the social media algorithm and I'm not going to sacrifice my mental health to do so. So, the engagement I get on the Legacy Adventure is nearly nothing. It was meant to be a fun side project for the charity to drive interest, which it is not doing.

With me having to manage my personal life much more closely this year, I'm having a harder time putting effort into the Legacy Adventure. I do like the idea of it and the progression and the creative ideas I draw from it. However, it is not worth it at the moment.

I may continue the Legacy Adventure on my own platform. If I do so, I will provide the links on where you may follow me.

In addition to this, the Kickstarter I wanted to do for 2024's Legacy Adventure has been put on hold. It is a lot of work, which I currently can't do. Also, because of tariffs, it is basically impossible for small scale Kickstarters to produce a physical book. I may consider doing it digital only. But I'm still debating what to do. Especially if I'm informally transferring it to my personal works.

Thank you to the organizations and people that do so much work and support Games On The Table. It is a huge relief.
