@desertbus.org will fangamer be restocking the DB2024 shirt during this run?
I remember, at the beginning of the run, it had a "restock soon" notification. Graham said that was an error, and it would be back in stock shortly, but now it's not on the website at all.

I think if there's someone you like, it's hard to dislike their writing. But it's definitely possible to dislike the writing of someone you love.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.
I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.
