Dear @tabcreations.com and hive mind, as a GM, the players have telegraphed what they hope to do as their next move against what they think is the Big Bad. Should I lean in to their plan but create traps or should I try to foil their plan knowing the whole story behind it?

It's fitting that on such a political day, our 4th piece of the 8 piece #clue McNugget Buddie for a #spooky #halloween fun time would be Mrs. Peacock. She's a Senator's wife after all and you can take your hands off her!

Who do I need to campaign with to get either both a panel and a one shot or a concurrent one shot to deputize new Rangers for next year's #powermorphicon ?

Some things which are unknown and connected to the future are about to revealed. For better or for worse....

Stay tuned for Part 2

Who doesn't love a good #memoir ? And who doesn't absolutely adore #timcurry ?

Also by the time we do the marathon (I'll be wearing my Hell House shirt btw), hopefully we'll also have the ttrpg version to play if I can get the alpha test off the ground before Halloween ends =)

There'll be some interactive elements to this one shot. A ttrpg one shot with audience is basically a cousin of improv and Chicago does love its theater. And you might love knowing you could win a holiday one shot while in a raffle or even ways to influence gameplay...

That Top 4 becomes like The Top 8 very quickly because I also love Howl's Moving Castle and The Gentlemen and House on Haunted Hill and Hell House LLC , but you only get Top 4 on the red carpet so those were the 4 I chose =D

One game piece left to win the trip to Universal Orlando. Which is amusing if I win it because I'll be that much closer to one of my first true loves - the Tower of Terror

That's why I'm in the Taco Bell drive thru at 2:30 am so yes

Mine are: Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Sum of Us (1994), and First Wives Club (1996). What are your four #films ?

A McDonalds McNugget Buddie, reimagined as Martin Mull's iconic Colonel Mustard from 1985's cult murder mystery comedy Clue. Part of an 8 Piece series.

See, you have to wear your sash. If you don't wear the sash, nobody will know.

I am also curious since this is one pack that expires right before Halloween it looks like - what happens to the foil variants? Do they stay there? Do the extras we already have go back into the packs they came from? The framed goal is about "catching up" but 🤷

Also be friends in Pocket?

#halloween this year for me comes with a bit of mayhem and fright. And putting a key in a pocket that will get inevitably stolen in a huddle. #clue #timcurry #mcnuggetbuddies #mcnugget

Tim Curry from the 1985 seminal classic comedy Clue, but as a McDonald's McNugget Buddie

Though I have a couple of different fun little Halloween things happening this year, I thought one of them should be fantastical, slightly medieval, and some good chaos. Will you join me for a theatrical event? You the audience can influence just how well the story goes...

The newest #ttrpg recap for #powerrangers Rise is up! Episode 3: All Smiles is gonna give you that circus vibe and even more mystery than even the first two episodes brought. It all begs the question - What has happened to Angel Grove?

I love your sense of proportions here. I wish there was a way to get this butt shot in with the insta version to make it wonderfully wicked, but alas the puritans rule over there

John's Bear Cave @stardewfarmerjohn.bsky.social · 22d

Up late working on one of the few things I feel secure about in this world - my new queer Cinderella musical called Cobblestone Kingdom. It's gonna be very medieval, very gay, and may not heal the world but at least it has meaning. And will piss off the right people.
