On June 19th, 2025, the home of Dave and Carrie Dolph was destroyed by fire.

While there were no injuries to them or their pets, the house has been deemed unsafe for occupancy.

The good news is, they own the land, and don’t have an overhanging mortgage.

The bad news is, they lived in a very old mobile home, and the insurance company is unlikely to provide enough money for the loss to get the old home removed, put in a new septic and slab, and replace the home. There may not even be enough money from the insurance to do any one of those things, let alone all of them.

Some of you may know Dave and Carrie from the Realms (Sir Callin of Folkestone, and Sir Tetch), some from online gaming (Rael and Bael Krieg (of New World), Spiritrend and Shadowrend (of Everquest) or Skyhoof and Spirithoof (of World of Warcraft)), Queens Gambit Game store, or any number of other geeky related pursuits. Dave may also be known to you through his prolific writing of RPG material for both 5E and ToRG. Or you may know them as family or relatives, or from their working professional lives.

This GoFundMe is to help with the costs of getting the couple back into a home and all the related costs to get to that point.
