I’m pretty impressed with this one. Before-hand I was suspicious of “Hogwarts in Space” as a premise, and I have been schooled properly.

I’ve played it *to death* after finding the setting confrontingly horrible the first time. There is some clever writing in the arcs and Silverhand - just about everything supports more than one interpretation, and despite the strongly defined plot, you can find many different stories in there.

They should have called it the Canyonero Class!

The burning sulfur skull-faced fish-locusts *were* a surprise.

And that’s the easy bit! I look forward to your description of meeting the Thing In The Museum (I hope that’s not a spoiler - sry if it is)

That’s outrageous. How can the science be behind this decision? (And I am very sorry this is happening to you.)

And some delightful overacting! Graf Vinda-K and the two thieves especially. The cast looked like they were having a romp.

What novel forms of matter await their gastronomic debut? We have liquids, solids, blends and composites of those. Gases and smokes? How about plasma? Cardamom infused and tingly on the tongue! And the pièce de résistance is obviously the Chef’s own neutronium soufflé - crushingly light!

Was “Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!” already used somewhere else?

Herbert West is a part-time competitor.

Just how far can one continue to fail upwards? Any chance we can encourage him to fail all the way into the Sun?

Weirdly enough, my deck omits the Seven of F$cktards.

They could just save the money by arresting all the Scorpios, right?

Low golden sunlight
Spiders spinning mist to thread
Grass embroidery

Sin of heat erased
The snails write silver secrets
Stolen horizon

Rustling silk, rain on her fingers
Autumn’s grey daughter
Has dawn on her dance card

Interesting. What would have been your preferred way forward?

And I am allowed to say it now: the government of the day did an ABSOLUTELY SHIT JOB on promoting the Yes case.

Who did ya call?

It seems even shittier if the medias have it correct that Tanya Plibersek had a deal with Pocock and the Greens pretty much good to go, until it was captain’s called to death by Albo at the behest of WA miners.

Ah, grok. We have been caught by the unnecessary squabble between our parasite and the region’s healthcare providers, so we need to change.

Have you chosen a new parasite yet? We’re starting on a similar journey.
