@rickgamesnow.bsky.social @themodusfiles.bsky.social The Anniversary Edition Demolition Derby in the Wasteland was a disaster.
"Fornicate this!" said Weasel, a Raider with a speech impediment. "The cars don't work and the raceway is Radroach-infested. Bugs everywhere! A waste of pooping caps!"

Hey, @rickgamesnow.bsky.social, did you know that in just a few days it's someone special's birthday? 🤔
I could swear that day is important for another couple of people too. Ooh yeah...

@rickgamesnow.bsky.social @themodusfiles.bsky.social A month in to the Wasteland shutdown,some faction leaders bent the knee to COGGA - the Cult of Garden Gnomes of Appalachia.
But why? Extortion? Cowardice? Stupidity? Or COGGA's aggressive negotiating tactics of shock treatment and waterboarding?

@rickgamesnow.bsky.social @themodusfiles.bsky.social The Pylon V-13 interdimensional experiment aimed to breach the fabric of spacetime. It failed... or did it?

@themodusfiles.bsky.social @rickgamesnow.bsky.social The red-capped zealots of COGGA - the Cult Of Garden Gnomes of Appalachia - had been in power for a year.
Their political policies were:
1) Spread division, hate and fear.
2) Do tacky construction work.
3) Gold!
4) Golf!
5) List? What list?!

@rickgamesnow.bsky.social @themodusfiles.bsky.social Halloween had been a success across the Wasteland, despite the COGGA redcapped zealots - who viewed sharing candy as socialism.
Some also enjoyed tricks as much as treats - like fugitive Doctor Zorbo, who relished visitors grabbing his goodies.

Being a movie serial killer must be rough. I mean, you're twiddling your thumbs every other night of the year except for one. Voorhees is lucky, sometimes he may get two or three. But just one, like Halloween?

While quantum spatial tunnel experiments were halted by the War, one "portal" remains. However, its location is less than ideal.

To some, they're just typos caused by bad formatting in downloaded books.
But to me they're like sudden detours in to an Eldritch novel - where every character and concept comes straight from the Ninth Dimension of Tsathoggua.

"Hindsight is always 20/20, and time makes fools of us all." Thats's the motto of the Ohio Dust Bowl's PR team, and they're proud of it.
On the plus side, the guided tour of the Abraxodyne Chemical plant went well. I mean, maybe not for the ones who inhaled... but that was their own fault.
