Please enjoy this picture of me in an awful wig and silly sparkly boots playtesting the one-shot at @queeremporium.bsky.social last week!
Luna wears a wig, a pink feather boa and red sequined high heel boots, and is sat behind a DM screen, looking over sheets of paper. On the other side of the screen, two players are visible.

If you can, the earlier you buy tickets for these events, the better: it gives us confidence that in our programming, allows us to create these line-ups that can also act as spaces for the community to gather, and contribute to the artist fees and the operational costs of the event! (7/8)

The labour involved in hosting them in the Arcade means we have somewhat higher labour costs than other venues with fixed set-ups, but your supports has meant we can put on these events and pay talent as fairly as possible (and they deserve it)! (6/8)
