Two brothers opened The Dragon’s Hoard, a game shop full of RPGs, cards and board games. Legends have been foretold, where dragons filled with greed collected treasures across the land and hoarded them in their caves.

I’ve always felt fairly ambivalent toward Valentine’s Day. As a kid, I loved it because we had a party in class and I got candy. As I got older, I found no meaning in it, taking after my father and thinking of it as a capitalist ploy on the part of greeting card companies and…
