The Aquarium Game Night was a huge success!!
The GMs ran a fantastic adventure, the players were all so creative, and the dice were fickle as ever.
Hope we get to do it again soon!!

Bones Deep, by @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social, is not only smartly laid out and SUPER accessible, it's also funny, goofy, and full of awesome illustrations of various sea creatures. I've played it multiple times and I would be oh-so-happy to play it again.
