hi ben

An image that has been altered from the original text: "The Rat is the final antagonist of Disney's 1955 animated feature film Lady and the Tramp. A silent, predatory rodent, the rat is in constant pursuit of Jim Dear and Darling’s newborn baby." to have a picture of trat in place of the original "rat" while saying "The Trat is the best Beastieball feature. A rodent, the trat is cute and Darling baby."

Besides @vangamegarden.bsky.social today, it's also the 7th year anniversary of our previous game, Wandersong! 🎉

We actually designed Deluja after the sky seals in Act 6 of Wandersong, and they would absolutely be on the team of the main character, the Bard! 🦭
