I fell in love with Sickest Witch from the first play. It seamlessly blends dark themes and horror,, and I stand by my original assessment that Sickest Witch is one of the most sinister RPGs I have ever played. Now I get to co-write a 3PP adventure for it.

Please pay attention to the next onslaught against trade happening in a couple of weeks.

The removal of the duty free di minimis by the administration.
This will make it impossible for most individuals to order anything from outside the US without paying astronomical fees.

I got pretty bummed recently because I feel like life is just flying by. Unrelentingly so. This prompted me to start taking photos of people I see out and about using a Fuji Instax. It’s been cool to give people a keepsake after a conversation.

Let me take your picture!
