What was the first album you bought with your own money? It was definitely this Ace of Base - The Sign. I wanted to think it was Poe's "Hello", but that would have been a couple years later.

@jedediahberry.com I've run two hex crawl sessions in Valley of the Flowers this year and I love it. The world is so rich and so much fun, creepy and delightful and weird. My players are mostly new to TTRPG except for a few "old heads" who played 1E, and it's roundly enjoyed by all.

Workshopping outreach memes at work today (cause that's what I'm doing with my PhD) and got notes that this is "lol but too dark" ... That's just people with publication privilege talking though.
