I regret to inform you that I woke up with this image in my head and so I've decided to make it your problem too

Does any of this help us sell magazines? No but does it help us build respect and influence in the ttrpg industry? Also no

Found another incredible documentary, this one from 1980 & follows an American tourist who visits the ancient Mongo Empire, & inevitably causes a massive diplomatic incident by completely disrupting their festivities with his brash manners Fit check? Once again, immaculate youtu.be/PgL9jUAHQtg?...

Seen a couple of clips the past week from some 1995 Kyrgyzstan documentary The Universe of Manas and had to check out the whole thing. Just absolutely fucking unreal levels of drip here youtu.be/jgJZCaOI5KE?...

A heads up, from next week Wyrd Science 7 will no longer be available as the starting issue for a subscription, so if for whatever reason that’s important for you to know, now you do wyrd-science.subsail.com/subscribe/ ALSO as of today we finally have less than 100 copies of WS3 in our warehouse
