For some reason I just saw this, they look gorgeous! I've been flacking your sessions at BBC.

It also contains one of my very favorite playful archetypes - the haggard, bitter, two-faced servant - as a semi-facilitator and shit-stirrer. Sluga's bags are packed, they are ready to leave their employment, all they need to do is ... arrange for their replacement.

The fun thing about prepping Sluga is that you get to plan a three course meal of inedible nonsense objects - toy cars, reading glasses, baseballs - that the guests will nervously pretend to eat so that Yaga, their host, doesn't grind their bones to thicken her borscht.

40 EAST of Asheville has a lane open, it looks like 40 West of Asheville near the TN border is going to be shut down for at least a year.

Just a follow up on this, my nephew got out via 26 on Monday and 40 west of Asheville now has a lane open.

You can't sustain a city of 100,000 by helicopter, but some of the roads look like they will open enough for relief supplies soon. Like a single lane of I-40 from the east, US-74/I-26 already looks open from the south, by some definition of open.

It's called The Illegals and was inspired by the TV show The Americans. You play East German illegals operating in Los Angeles in 1984. Under-funded, over-tasked, and dodging both FBI and KGB. It uses custom fate and uncertainty cards and adds mission-specific outcome cards.
