It's crazy how big the Xrd scene has gotten in Houston, with new faces still showing up.

Big ups to @akaistring.bsky.social and @cadedac.bsky.social who have help lead the next generation players, and have brought Xrd hype back to H-Town.
Over twenty for an offline Xrd with the best in Houston in attendance!

Come through for a good ass time. www.twitch.tv/txshowdownlive
