It's time for the Gila RPGs Patreon Drive!

What's a Patreon drive? It's me asking you to consider becoming a patron, and setting up regular support of my work.

Why am I doing this and what's the plan? Let's chat! 🧵

Congress is considering H.R. 845, a bill that would remove Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states and block any judicial review, effectively opening the door to hunting that could drive the species toward extinction.

I’d have to assume desert given just how huge Antarctica is. Specifically I guess it’s polar desert as opposed to temperate or tropical. Unless we’re including marine, which fair enough I guess, it’s marine, maybe benthic considering deep sea gets to be measured in three dimensions?
