Hey y'all, I just made an update to this game! There were a lot of gaps in mechanics that needed filling in and some space for some flavor in other places, so I took care of that where I found it and added a little pre-written adventure. Go check it out and tell me what you think!

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
