What games were yall stuck into at your peak of gaming? and what made yall want to change for the better and give up the gamer life? 🧐🧐

Hey Heroes! Part of my commitment as I build this community and program is transparency: I'm building Respawn in public, partially to hold myself accountable (gotta practice what you preach!) and partially so all of you can help shape what the program ultimately becomes. After all: I know what worked for me, but I want to tailor the experience to all of you. Which brings me to my first behind-the-scenes builder update: You know what happens when you build fast? Perhaps a little too fast? You don't do quite as much research as you ought to ... Which can mean you end up naming your flagship program (Respawn) after someone else's flagship program ( ... also Respawn). Oops. Ah, well, you live and you learn. And so, moving forward: Respawn will be known as Respec, complete with a brand new logo (see attached!). It's probably for the best: After all, Respawn typically means dying and starting over, right? Respec, on the other hand, is all about rebuilding yourself into something stronger and better. And isn't that why we're all here? As always, Heroes: Onward and upward!

Hey heroes! I figure if I'm gonna ask each of you to introduce yourselves, the least I can do is go first. So, here we go: Hi! I'm Connor. I'm based out of Kalispell, Montana in the US. I just took the Class Quiz and got handed Bard, which anyone who knows me probably saw coming from a mile off. Turns out building a whole party and refusing to shut up about it was a bit of a tell. Outside of gaming, I'm a huge nerd (shocker). I love reading and listening to audiobooks, acting as DM to my family's Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and writing (recently finished the first draft of a young adult LitRPG!). Okay, that's me! You're up. Looking forward to meeting each and every one of you!

Wish I could say I’m surprised by the warrior pick but….💪🏼 I’m Jon from Murfreesboro TN. I’m a dad of three mini warriors in the making. I’m a chiropractor by trade but a Highland Games athlete by hobby. That’s been most of my life, picking things up, throwing them around, seeing if I can do it better than anyone else. Happy to be a part of this group, always played the role of the tank. I think fatherhoods allowed me to pick up the shield IRL. Hoping to give more time back to the kiddos.

Welcome to Respawn! I'm thrilled you've joined. Whether you're here to quit gaming for good or just bring some balance back to a hobby you used to love, you're in the right place. Around here, we've got one goal: overcome video game addiction, level up in real life, and become the IRL heroes we were always meant to be. Now that you're in, here's your quickstart guide (or just head over here and follow along). Step #1 — Get real with yourself If you haven't already, run the Gaming Self-Assessment to see where you actually stand. No judgment, no shame — but every quest needs a starting point, and you can't chart the path forward until you know where you're standing. Step #2 — Discover your class Take the Class Selector quiz to find out whether you're a Warrior, a Rogue, a Bard, or something else entirely. Your class reveals how you're wired — how you approach life, and more importantly, how to show up for your own recovery. Plus, c'mon... it's fun. Go roll your character. Step #3 — Introduce yourself (don't skip this one) The guided program's exciting, but I've gotta level with you: Community, accountability, and connection are the heart of the Respawn experience journey. As a wise old man once said: "It's dangerous to go alone!" So take this: The heroes who show up and post are the ones who make it. The ones who lurk in the shadows tend to quietly slip back to where they started. Tell us where you're from, the results of your class quiz, and something you're looking forward to this week. And that's it! From there: Dive into the classroom, trust the process, and show up in the community. Post your wins, your stumbles, your lightbulb moments, the stuff you've figured out along the way. Jump into the comments to hype up and back your fellow heroes. This place runs on you. PS: Keep an eye out for a message from me. I'll be reaching out personally to learn how I can best support you on your journey, and I'd love to chat.
