Not only does Lauren Hottinger star on the D&amp;D actual play podcast, <a href="http://www.intelligencecheck.com">Intelligence Check</a>, she also gardens, hand draws maps, sings, and is one of the kindest, most generous people you will meet on Twitter. We had a blast getting to know her and discussing how one can stay positive and kind in a typically toxic and negative social media environment.&nbsp;
Lauren has some great stories and examples of the effects of kindness on others as well as some strategies on how to cope with those days when you are going through low moments yourself.

Rainbow Land With Katy Haile

Bards are the storytellers, creators, musicians, and performers who help to inspire the rest of the adventuring party in most fictional settings. The Dungeons &amp; Dragons Handbook explains that the place where these bards gather to swap tales and learn from each other is called a Bards College. Dustin Walker and Wendi Olsen hope to create such a gathering place where people can tell their story, share their secrets, and maybe even inspire us all to be a tad bit more awesome.
