Notice that Amy doesn't say anything about opposing the gangs of thugs the Trump regime is sending to our state to threaten and kidnap our neighbors but instead just buys in to right wing propaganda... 🤮

The rot inside our government is going to last decades. Any Dem who suggests we just “turn the page” like Obama and Biden did needs to be run out of town. We need vengeance and cleansing.

Digital illustration in black on a toned paper background. A group of angry little guys are marching together in a tight formation. They are all dressed in black and their heads are just blank potato-like shapes the only feature of which are big mouths with gritting gnashing teeth. Hands and fists are thrust in the air over the crowd as well as three signs on sticks that have ❗️,⚡️, and ⬇️ symbols on them.  The angry little guys at the front of the group are holding a horizontal banner which reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Tonight! 6:30p-8:30p @ Broken Clock Brewing @ladychristyk.bsky.social & I host #boardgames night. Come play a variety of seasonal games including Vampire Farts, a card game where you are a vampire who must eat a well-rounded meal to fart the most succulent fart imaginable. #twincitiesgeeks
The box for the standard version of Vampire Farts with a pair of vampires on the front with a castle, bats and full moon behind them.

Vampire Farts is a fast and tense party game for 1 to 8 players, where you are a vampire who must eat a well-rounded meal to fart the most succulent fart imaginable. This plays like the popular card game Flip Seven with added strategy (Secret Cards and other tactics). With group and solo modes.

I think people would be less likely to buy large vehicles if it was a huge pain in the ass to drive them here, especially in cities. Higher gas prices are part of it. But there should be extra fees and taxes based on weight. Parking your giant Suburban should be incredibly difficult. etc.

We believe COCKROACH will attempt to flee in 12 hrs once the general evacuation of the city of Runner is announced. MSS intelligence has narrowed COCKROACH’s location down to the Weaver District. The primary mission objective of OPERATION OIL RIG is to obtain all UA data on code-name KAFKA.

The third one-shot I'm going to be running this autumn is near & dear to me... It's an Alien the Roleplaying Game scenario I've written myself drawing on some of the background from William Gibson's Alien III script that has been fleshed out in the RPG setting & inspired by Atomic Blonde as well...

Land of Eem is often pitched as Lord of the Rings meets the Muppets with a dash of Mad Max thrown in. This particular adventure adds in a Oceans Eleven style heist where the characters head onto a shady tycoon's riverboat to recover a Gnome's family heirloom cookbook that was stolen.

Is your brain full of mind vampires?
A comic all in red, depicting a man with a cut out of his brain with a vampire skulking inside of it. 
Big text at the top says "is your brain full of mind vampires? you are not alone."
The vampire says "bleh! bleh! I am 2000 years old. Bleh! your only desire now is to find my amulet."
The man says "Dang, gotta find that amulet."

Further text at the bottom says "there is no cure for mind vampires but there is support and management. Know the warning signs, get help early."
