In this episode, our inmates have found themselves smack dab in the middle of some bullshit... Cannibalistic Accountants? Sure... A room full of rusted metal and broken glass? Why not... An ex-husband? That may be going too far... Find out how far in this episode!

A goal with my Middle-earth Hexcrawl project is to capture the feeling I first came to love in Zelda: the feeling of wandering around and falling into a hole and realizing Oh shit, there's a whole dungeon in here.
This is one such adventure: a flux-space dungeon of a haunted hedge maze

You can use poker chips to track time of day for hexcrawling systems.
For instance, you can have a stack of red, white, white, red, blue, blue to represent the flow of dawn, day, and night.
I think I first saw this in Hot Springs Island by Jacob Hurst, but it's so clever I've used it ever since.
