Which one of you has a Christiesque "Murder on the Orient Express" train mystery game? I know someone here does, and I cannot for the life of me remember. One of the GMs for my one-shot program at my day job is looking and I have been wracking my brain for the last hour trying to figure it out.

CW: Pet death Alan and I lost our beloved Bosie Darling tonight after a sudden, age-related illness. But he will be here, forever, on page 106 of The Long Road Ahead. Listening to a tabletop game-- one of his favorite activities -- that never has to end.

A retro pixel art style scene of four friends playing the Long Road Ahead tabletop game. 

On the far left side there is a big orange cat sitting and listening to the four friends playing.

THE LONG ROAD AHEAD is $17.50 for the @drivethrurpg.com Christmas in July Sale! THE LONG ROAD AHEAD at a glance: Runs on the Apocalypse Engine 2-6 players + Scrivener (GM) Ideal playtime: 3-4 hours per session Dice used: 2 six-sided dice 196 page PDF Features 60+ retro-style pixel illustrations!

The Long Road Ahead cover (The illustration features retro-style pixel art of four adventurers looking out over a vast landscape. In the foreground, two of the figures seem to be conversing or contemplating while the other two are busy climbing the head of a collapsed statue. Three of the characters are dressed in "genre-typical" fantasy garb, while the one who sits atop the statue's great stone head wears jeans and a backpack, implying they might be from the same world we inhabit. The road before our adventurers stretches far into the distance, where we can see the land itself extending out into the sky. This world is a ring, the road continues forever without end)

+ Cecil, a chubby green dragon mascot of the Christmas in July sale. He is wearing a santa hat and holding a striped life preserver ring. There is also the Christmas in July logo in bubble letters. Gold staburst "sticker" with the sale price.

If air purifiers are too expensive, a cheap box fan with a furnace filter duct taped to the back of it is extremely effective. Get the highest rated filter you can afford, preferably one rated for allergens like pollen and change the filter at least every 3 months. More often if it looks super gross

A very Californian reminder that wildfire smoke is super bad for your lungs! HEPA air purifiers are your friend inside, and an N95 is a must if you have to go out. If you can see it, it's fucking up your lungs. Filter the air you're breathing somehow!

I forgot to take a single photo of the booth at the event yesterday at the Myth Makers Fantasy Market but we had a blast, moved a ton of these books to make room for ones that don't have a flaw on the cover and made enough to fund the print run to stock at Page After Page, the bookstore at the #MDRF

5 hours until the Ennies Emporium backerkit campaign for Ennie-nominated RPG Dawn of the Orcs launches. If you didn't get the game the first time, now's your chance! I'm also offering a couple games that will probably never see physical printing any other time. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Not ttrpg related, but my pal Mark is crowdfunding his new audio drama and I know there's more than a sliver of crossover between indie ttrpg players and folk horror enthusiasts. Check out Beck's End!
