What are ghosts thankful for?

To be honest, we don't know. But we do know that some places are more fun to haunt than others.

"The Ghost Hunter" was written by Story Engine creator @rockpapercynic.bsky.social.

We've got the 'search' part down. The 'rescue' still needs some work. Just try to keep your head above water. 🐙

We're kicking off scary season with Jellyhusks, an aquatic horror short by @rockpapercynic.bsky.social.

Follow along for more short scares leading up to Halloween!
C-2 is a bad bill and more Canadians need to be talking about it.

It jumbles broken non-solutions to unrelated social issues.

It deserves input from multiple committees but will only be reviewed by one.

It's designed to appear palatable to politicians in a rush. "Strong Borders Act" sounds like an easy win if you don't read what's actually in the package.
I'd like to focus on sections 9, 14, and 15.

C-2 is hostile to refugees and an arguable violation of international refugee law.

It offers sweeping powers for law enforcement to violate the privacy of Canadians without judicial oversight (and makes us MORE vulnerable to foreign hackers).
Bill C-2 is a bad piece of legislation under consideration by the Canadian government.

It doesn't reflect the platforms my PM @mark-carney.bsky.social or my MP Lena Diab ran on.

It doesn't reflect my values as a voter.

More Canadians need to talk about it.

Why is C-2 so bad? (1/4)
Got back in the rock climbing gym for the first time in 3 months

BOY DOES IT FEEL GOOD to be back on the wall

BOY DOES IT FEEL BAD to have lost so much grip strength

That said, I've been training longsword HARD so my shoulders are 💪💪💪

THANK YOU to the 2,717 backers who helped make Dungeon Tryouts a success!

We raised $208,224 for this wacky little party game!

More updates to come in the following week, but for now, let us say a huge thank you for being in our adventuring party!
Thanks to everyone who helped raise the banners and spread the word. I can't tell you how much it means to me!

Now 36-year-old me is going to drink some scotch and take a 3-day nap.
The Dungeon Tryouts campaign is over!

2,717 backers helped raise $208,000 for this weird labour of love that... let's just say if you told 10-year-old me that one day he'd make a game that's like D&D but it has knee-cappin' unicorns and you can teach it in 5 minutes, he'd be pretty dang proud!
