Tow truck driver - a big fan of fist bumps we found out throughout the process - instantly diagnosed the alternator. The mechanics were able to at least get the windows rolled up. And did so under flashlight lighting too! It was impressive.
Shouldn’t be too bad. We’ll find out soon!

Thanks! The scenery is *fantastic.* Old neighborhood around the middle school. Tall trees, barking dogs, smells like fall. There’s even a beat up old Ford F150 on the other side of the street providing solid aesthetics to the moment.

Tow truck waiting time! This car is doing odd things. Namely not running. That’s the odd thing.

I was wrong. It was run. It was all run.

Going on a “walk” ( a run, sniff, run, pause,sniff, run, run, pause, bark).

Backers of We Don’t Live on the Surface Anymore unlocked a multiplayer friendly cozy rpg about life in the underground bunkers. Cozy apocalypse life.
The community dice pool mechanic is my favorite part. Here’s a wall of text preview!

Getting the printer-friendly versions of the game ready to go. I'm kinda digging the minimalism.

Everyday you wake up, you're continuing to write a story without knowing the ending. I think that's the joy of life at the end of the day ❤️

Hey, #ttrpg folks! Guess who published another solo journaling game that uses tarot as the mechanics? I am nothing if not a creature of habit. In Mortar and Pestle, play as the proprietor of a magic shop going about your days and thinking deeply about your life.

Second post seems an appropriate time to introduce the family shop dogs, Magnus and Wonder. They like naps.
