I've got two extra physical copies of #HuckleberryRPG sitting around, so we might as well do a #giveaway!
I'll randomly draw a winner from everyone who reposts + follows. And whoever comes up with the best name for our "Brain Tick" in the replies will win a copy as well!

Howdy y'all, I need some help! What should we name our newest monster? It's a tick that eats your brain, then puppets your body. You are what you eat, right? "Brain Tick" is the best we've got right now, but I think we can do better!
