Someone made a website of just these signs. hacaracois.pthacaracois.ptHá CaracóisPhotos of the handwritten “Há Caracóis” signs that appear outside cafés, tascas and restaurants across Portugal every summer, when snail season arrives. 043
Jason Bostwick @jasonbostwick.bsky.social · 25/09/2026"Aw Jeez, The Airship's On Fire" for High Magic Low Lives is a bit longer than your request, but it nails this imo. There's a spread with an overview of what happens in each phase, and each room key has a note about what changes in the room depending on how far the fire has progressed. 011

Jason Bostwick @jasonbostwick.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I think this hits it right on the nose. I can never get the old DCC tagline out of my head - it's fully framed as a reactionary RETVRN thing. Nothing weird, no speeches, no talking, just people "meant to be killed." 160
Jason Bostwick @jasonbostwick.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Yeah its such a weird one. Lots of people I respect a lot who take ire with the r/rpg rules, but I know they wouldn't be happy with someone joining their own community's discord server just to post promo in #general. 241

Jason Bostwick @jasonbostwick.bsky.social · 19/05/2026There was definitely a little bit of this spectre hanging over it for me too!

Jason Bostwick @jasonbostwick.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Can't think of something extant using this approach but my mind went to tapping your fingers on the table at dim sum to say thanks without interrupting conversation flow. Neutral can be neutral, stop an x-card, and a green light "check-in" could be someone tapping and waiting for response taps. 110
