@andrewmarkhenry.bsky.social FYI you've got a typo in the "Who We Are" section of The Religion Department landing page
"not matter what your experience level" instead of "no matter your"
Best wishes for this venture.

I found Aaronovitch's The Masquerades of Spring to be a delightful mix of Wodehouse, an outsider's view of the Harlem Renaissance, and Aaronovitch's wry approach to the magic-touched procedural. Recommended. 🏳️🌈Diverse cast of characters & a short read good for your 🛫 book.

I lost by 4 in our first play. This game is okay… not sure it will displace my preferred board games.
Next time we will use the Mensagem cards and advanced heteronyms.
Game definitely has me thinking about integrity of personhood.
