In this week's FREE article, @seemoreevil.bsky.social makes a friend! An AI friend. Yes, he bought one of those AI necklaces and wore it for comedy science. Everyone read his article and say thank you, or I'm sorry. 1900hotdog.com/2025/10/upse...

Graphic to introduce Naomi as the new social media manager. There's a smiling close up on a polaroid, an ink drawing of Heike by Sar Cousins and a photo of Naomi on a podcast stage at dragonmeet. A piece of paper has some notes on it. It says "hello" "I'm taking the social media going forward, made HEART an actual play podcast and played heike. Secretly plans to kill grant in a pit trap by 2035"

Surprise! I have joined the fearsome and terrible hive at RRD, and will be the new Soc Media wretch!
Lots of love and mouth full of dice, Naomi xoxo

Photograph of a miniature made using the Landsknecht kit from Warlord Games. He has a big pipe for a head and heโ€™s wearing a fancy hat. His fancy clothes are painted blue and red. His pike has been modified into a sci-fi weapon with a glowing green point and a cable running down to a backpack.

HOOK
A decrepit Deep Apiarist approaches the delvers and speaks: the walls between worlds are thinner than ever, and the crimson undoing that splinters the real will soon arise and destroy us all. They press a single bee (very gently) into your hand, casting a rheumy eye around themselves as they do, and beseech you to take this Queen to an empty hive beside Wardstone Nasonov (Heart, pXX) - and from there she will reinforce the wards that sustain the universe. โ€œWorry not,โ€ they croak, โ€œfor I will be with you every step of the way,โ€ whereupon they drop dead and a hundred bees swarm out of their mouth and ears. 

You hear a shout from across the cavern - โ€œThere! They have it!โ€ - and someone opens fire. Someone else returns fire from behind you. It seems like this is a very important bee.

Heart scenario design is tricky but fun; you need to keep things absurd but grounded, tragic but wonderful, daft but disgusting. To that end I have written a world-ending adventure which focuses around one (1) bee
