Okay, so my second #LARP entry for @metaparadox.bsky.social's #LitformLARPJam, THE COTTONTAILS, may take a little more time than I was hoping. (Holidays, and all.) That said, the page is up and I have a three page preview available for free download!

Here's a page I really like for my latest. It's not as cool as yours, but it's two images, the frame recolored and edited to create space for text.
