Given the volumes of new people I should do an introduction thread. I'm Uel, I live in Minneapolis currently, and have lived all over the United States over the last decade. I was part of the fiction-writing side of weird twitter, from around 2012 onward, and wrote a good deal before the downfall.
who’s ready for some freaky parapolitics campaigns? deeply looking forward to this
In celebration of the imminent Blades ‘68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design.
BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout.

I'm really tired of seeing all these dem politicians saying "well we all want secure borders, but-" in all these fucking pressers. I don't really give a shit how good my neighbors are at doing paperwork. I don't think people who say "come here the right way" understand that they themselves couldn't.

Longtime #Dinkytown shop owner Greg Ketter is the 70yo you may have seen in a TV interview speaking his mind and walking away into a gas cloud. The September 1985 Southeast (Minneapolis) neighborhood newspaper noted his shop's move from above Gray's Drug to a street level entrance around the corner.

The Greater Reality Area is some of the best short-form writing I may read all year and the paid piece does not disappoint. subscription is worth it, to me, and probably to some of you too.
