Evening read: "The Maiden and the Rake" by @scorchadoom.bsky.social
I really like the game; it features fae, romance, and sudden violence. It reminds me of Under Hollow Hills and In Dreaming Avalon; it has well-written questions and answers.
It's also both visceral and courtly, which I enjoy.

My favorite bit from the Bad Bunny performance at the Super Bowl: he said "God Bless America" and listed all the countries in South, Central, and North America.
For the rest of the world, America is the continent. The US is just a tiny part of it - one that thinks it can call itself as the whole.
