Hey #academicsky - I have this big collection of US political comics from the 90s. It's a treasure trove of cultural history, but no libraries here in Australia interested. Looking for suggestions or people who want it. Will ship it to wherever. Share, DM or reply with leads please? Thanks!

The new Not About Lumberjacks episode/story is live! "Enemy Wanted" - Ferdinand Pérez gets more than he bargained for when he answers a flyer ad taped to a telephone pole looking for an enemy. Music provided by the Mighty @clajmo.bsky.social. Listen here: nolumberjacks.com/enemy-wanted/

Last year I was hoping that maybe this year I would finally make it to GenCon, but is starting to look like even the local con will get a pass for the foreseeable future.

We're all fine here. How are you?

Monday the Star Wars crew are infiltrating an ISB command post to break out their plant-side contact. I am sure everything will go smoothy.

a few sessions ago a Shadowrun took our team out of town for several weeks and when they returned they found one of their landlords had begun eviction proceedings for "abandonment of habitation". Now the party is back and looking for revenge.

I've been running Savage Worlds for almost a year now. I started with heist scenarios, then did some X-files, then some pulp monster hunting. Now I'm running star wars and finally got to run Pathfinder for SWADE. I finally know what the review beef is. D&D players are trying to D&D instead of 1/5
