Can someone tell the Stardew Valley festival of seasons concert bassoonist I appreciate how stellar he's been on the Livestream video?

Like all of the musicians have been fantastic but the bassoonist does make me wish I could afford my own instrument I studied for over a decade. He's rocking it.

Public Access haunts me in a way I can't describe and I'm so excited to hold the books in their flesh. Uh. I mean the flesh. My flesh. Our flesh?

Harvest by gamesfromthewildwood A bloody folk gothic RPG of tradition, necessity, and sacrifice

hi can I interest you in a blessed paradise whose hunger only sacrifice can appease? a desperate community insisting on ancient tradition & terrible necessity? a game played without dice or a GM, driven by a bloody oracle deck & a biting token economy?

anyway if you like the wicker man play HARVEST

Public Access by the Gauntlet is razor sharp, powerfully strange and enormously thought-provoking. My players are still daydreaming about our campaign, even though it finished six months ago. I think your players will too.

Perils and Princesses tops the list in terms of sessions and unique iterations (ongoing campaign, two charity one-shots, an LTP short adventure, and a learn-to-play one-shot), while The Between is in second place in terms of pure session count between the two ongoing campaigns I am the keeper for!
