HYPERBOREA Giveaway!
I was cleaning the office and stumbled upon THREE extra sets of a special promotion we did last year: Rats in the Walls (signed), an enamel Hyperborea pin, and a Hyperborea d20. So, I am going to give these three sets away! (Each winner gets a signed Rats book, a pin, and a d20.) I'll ship anywhere in the world, unless you live in a country that is embargoed. Here are the rules:
1) Follow this page.
2) Like this post.
3) Retweet this post.
You have to do all three or your entry will not count. I will announce the three winners on Monday night (US Eastern Time)!

It was the dawn of the third age….
Thirty years ago today, BABYLON 5 began its series run with the episode Midnight on the Firing Line, which is where we were and what we felt at the time: this was make-it-or-break-it time. Could we make a five year arc work? Would it endure? And now, here we are. Astonishing.

On Friday, I completed designing a map I began at the end of 2017, to submit it to the Jennell Jaquays Memorial Jam. Details at itch.io/jam/jennell-jaquays-… if you want to participate by the 31 January deadline.
Keying is done; just need to squeeze the text into the 750 word limit.
