Ahh welcome to the weekend my friends!

Due to an unforeseen bout of laziness on my part we've been tweet light over the past few days and thus a bit of catching up is in order!

First game up returning GM Matthias beams back down to AthCon for his Star Trek Adventurers game; First Contact.

On the 10th anniversary of the release of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" I remind @markhamillofficial.bsky.social how excited we all were when we realized how heavily he'd be featured in the movie. Yup, this trailer alone sold a million tickets!

Next game up is a bit of a banger!! A two parter 5e D&D 20th level type banger!

GM Gavin, having spent AthCons I to III scoping out what makes a great game, steps into the command chair at @AthCon4 and is most certainly not rolling dice in half measures!

Ever wondered what 20th level felt like??

You know what would make a game of Alien even more fun? And by fun I mean something that would add a few extra diceses to the Stress pool and help push that Players Survive O'Meter a few notches closer to zero?

Why an Alien worshipping cult of course!!

Said no one.

Ever.

I was annoyed by the Online Safety Act over the summer, primarily from the point of view of a reader/viewer/etc.

A couple of weeks ago, I had to consider it from the point of view of a creator.

Next game up we've GM Keith A's own take on the Honey Heist system. Around this table however, the players assume the roles of monsters looking for the ultimate crime payday - stealing the invaluable AthVentureCon Cup!!

This was run last year and all players had a blast so expect more of the same!

Ernie's right hand and occasional Big Bird is awesome enough, but he was the first live action Spider-Man, and MY first Spider-Man.

And Spidey's the best, so this hits hard.

RIP, Danny, and thanks, man.

No lies or errors detected.
Trump has purposefully brought America to the brink of civil war by lying about the 2016 presidential election, lying about the 2020 presidential election, lying about the 2024 presidential election, lying about the Democratic Party, lying about state/federal law enforcement and lying about America.

I mean, yeah, can't argue with anything Seth states here.
I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full.

Here it is:
Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene
The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.
